  • Publication number: 20180254439
    Abstract: A button cell on a lithium-ion basis includes a housing sealed in a fluid-tight fashion and composed of a positively-poled metallic housing half and a negatively-poled metallic housing half, which halves are separated from one another by an electrically-insulating seal. A positive electrode and a negative electrode are arranged inside the housing. The positive electrode is in electrical contact with the positively-poled housing half, and the negative electrode is in electrical contact with the negatively-poled housing half. An ion-conductive separator is arranged between the electrodes. The positive electrode includes a metallic current collector. A porous three-dimensional structure whose pores are filled with a suitable electrochemically-active material serves as such a current collector. During the manufacturing of the button cell, the structure is connected to the positively-poled housing half by welding.

  • Patent number: 10061310
    Abstract: A method for the control of an industrial truck during order picking by an industrial truck with at least one environment sensor for the detection of the relative position of an operator in the environment of the industrial truck. The method includes moving the industrial truck using a control system. As the position of the operator changes, and when the operator stops, the industrial truck is stopped at a freely selectable distance specified in advance in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle between a reference point of a load handling device of the industrial truck and the position of the operator.
