Abstract: A housing part for an electrical energy store which has a plurality of storage cells disposed next to each other in such a way that gas venting valves of the plurality of storage cells are located on a common side includes a gas venting channel, which is designed to conduct gas to a gas venting valve of the energy store. The housing part also includes a shielding device, which is designed to cover the common side of the plurality of storage cells and thus to shield the common side of the plurality of storage cells from gas in the gas venting channel. The shielding device is also designed such that gas which exits through the gas venting valve of a first storage cell of the plurality of storage cells causes a locally limited opening in the shielding device, through which the gas from the first storage cell can pass into the gas venting channel.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for an automated system for analyzing damage and processing claims associated with an insured item, such as a vehicle. An enhanced claims processing server may analyze damage associated with the insured item using photos/video transmitted to the server from a user device (e.g., a mobile device). The mobile device may receive feedback from the server regarding the acceptability of submitted photos/video, and if the server determines that any of the submitted photos/video is unacceptable, the mobile device may capture additional photos/video until all of the data are deemed acceptable. To aid in damage analysis, the server may also interface with various internal and external databases storing reference images of undamaged items and cost estimate information for repairing previously analyzed damages to similar items. Further still, the server may generate a payment for compensating a claimant for repair of the insured item.
