  • Patent number: 12109912
    Abstract: An apparatus can include a body. The body can include a top portion and a base. The top portion can define a cavity. The cavity can be configured to receive a component. The apparatus can include a spring element that extends from at least one of the top portion and the base of the body. The spring element can be disposed at least partially around the cavity. The spring element can be configured to bias the component to an initial position and facilitate movement of the component when a load is applied to the component.

  • Publication number: 20230311630
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus. The apparatus can include a first fitting having a first mating portion and a second fitting having a second mating portion. The first fitting can couple with a portion of a first fluid line. The first fluid line can be at least partially internal to a battery pack. The second fitting can couple with a portion of a second fluid line. The second fluid line can be at least partially external to the battery pack. The second mating portion of the second fitting can engage with the first mating portion of the first fitting to fluidly couple the first fluid line with the second fluid line.

  • Publication number: 20230075142
    Abstract: Example illustrations are directed to an insulator assembly and methods, e.g., of installing the insulator assembly into a battery pack. An insulator assembly may include an insulator sheet and an insulator sheet standoff coupled to the insulator sheet. The standoff may be configured to allow ventilation associated with the insulator sheet and one or more surfaces of a battery component. Example insulator assemblies may be provided in a battery pack, e.g., for an electric vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10910800
    Abstract: Various disclosed embodiments include cover assemblies for an electrical busbar connection, busbar connector assemblies, and battery systems. In an illustrative embodiment, a cover assembly for an electrical busbar connection includes an electrically insulative busbar cover configured to receive therein an end of an electrical busbar. Electrically insulative fastener receptacles extend from the busbar cover, each fastener receptacle being sized to receive therein a fastener assembly, each fastener receptacle defining therein a first opening at a first end distal the busbar cover and a second opening at a second end proximal the busbar cover, the first opening being sized to permit insertion therethrough of a tool to turn a fastener assembly, the first opening being further sized to prevent insertion therethrough of a finger of a human. Electrically insulative retaining tabs extend into an interior of each of the fastener receptacles intermediate the first opening and the second opening.

  • Patent number: 9330295
    Abstract: Methods, articles and systems that provide imagewise mapping or display of gene expression of a biosample, by contacting the biosample, such as a tissue slice or metacommunity, to a detector which captures material from the biosample and processes the captured material. In one embodiment the detector has an array of one or more capture sites at defined positions on the detector, each site carrying an immobilized capture oligonucleotide and a site-indexing oligonucleotide. The array captures mRNA from the biosample contacted thereto, and the captured mRNA is processed to form a sequenceable amount of amplified captured material which includes the site-indexing oligonucleotide, so that when sequenced, detection of the site-indexing oligonucleotide indicates the original capture location on the array, thereby mapping the sequenced material to its capture location and imaging display of gene expression distribution in the original biosample.

  • Publication number: 20140141397
    Abstract: A computer-based apparatus for verified education of patient medical conditions and procedures provides 3D animations and 3D image stills, follow up quiz for patients, a built in informed consent form, usage tracking that gives a healthcare provider a consistent way to educated patients about anatomy, surgical and non-surgical procedures and medical conditions with the ability to track all usage records and a built in legal informed consent. Each view per patient is tracked and it is logged which healthcare provider was there, the 3D animations and/or 3D image stills viewed, a quiz was taken and scored, a digital informed consent form was signed and accompanied by screen grabs of the 3D animations and/or 3D image stills shared with the patient.
