Abstract: An enclosure for a prismatic battery cell include first side surfaces, second side surfaces connected between the first side surfaces, a top surface connected between the first side surfaces and the second side surfaces, and a bottom surface connected between the first side surfaces and the second side surfaces. The first side surfaces, the second side surfaces, the top surface and the bottom surface are configured to receive a battery cell stack. The second side surfaces, the top surface and the bottom surface expand/contract to allow guided expansion/contraction of the enclosure in a first direction while limiting expansion in second and third directions transverse to the first direction.

Abstract: A transport apparatus for moving nylon fiber from a supply location to a remote location includes a hopper receptacle designed for receiving a supply of nylon fibers at or near ground level, a flexible conduit having a first end connected with the output of the receptacle and the opposite end disposed at the remote location for delivery of the nylon fibers to the remote location. The propelling or transport mechanism which actually moves the nylon fibers from the first end which is connected to the receptacle to the remote location includes an air compressor and output air tube which is inserted into the conduit line. When the air compressor is energized, the pressurized flow of air through the line and thus through the conduit creates a venturi effect which effectively pulls nylon fibers from the receptacle and propels them to the remote location.
