Abstract: A battery pack can include an enclosure with a first panel opposite and spaced apart from a second panel. First and second battery cell stacks can be positioned between the first and the second panels. Each of the first and the second battery cell stacks can include a plurality of interconnected battery cells. A busbar fuse can be electrically connected between the first and the second battery cell stack and can include an exterior thermal contact that is thermally connected to the first panel. A thermal interface material (TIM) can be disposed between the exterior thermal contact and the first panel where the first panel can form a portion of a heat exchanger. A shell can at least partially enclose the busbar fuse and can retain a potting compound or phase change material around the busbar fuse.

Abstract: Interlacing equipment may be used to form fabric and to create a gap in the fabric. The fabric may include one or more conductive strands. An insertion tool may be used to align an electrical component with the conductive strands during interlacing operations. A soldering tool may be used to remove insulation from the conductive strands to expose conductive segments on the conductive strands. The soldering tool may be used to solder the conductive segments to the electrical component. The solder connections may be located in grooves in the electrical component. An encapsulation tool may dispense encapsulation material in the grooves to encapsulate the solder connections. After the electrical component is electrically connected to the conductive strands, the insertion tool may position and release the electrical component in the gap. A component retention tool may temporarily be used to retain the electrical component in the gap as interlacing operations continue.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for obtaining optimal development of photothermographic paper at different paper speeds and with intermittent paper movement. This is accomplished by a heater platen with plural heaters which are selectively energized in accordance with a function of paper speed. Also a fan for cooling of the platen is selectively energized in accordance with temperature. For this purpose, a temperature signal is produced corresponding to the temperature of each heater and, a speed signal is produced corresponding to the paper speed; if desired, a contrast signal can be produced corresponding to the degree of contrast desired in the development of the paper. A logic device, preferably a microprocessor operating under a program control, processes the signals and controls the energization of the heaters and the fan. More particularly, the platen is heated by plural electrical resistance heaters and is provided with a temperature sensor for each resistance heater.
