  • Publication number: 20240313291
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems to manage thermal runaway issues in energy storage systems. Exemplary embodiments include methods and systems having a compressible thermal barrier. The compressible thermal barrier is tailored in size (e.g., thickness, volume, etc.) to prevent thermal propagation between adjacent cells, modules and/or packs when a portion of an energy source has experienced a thermal event. The methods and systems mitigate thermal propagation such that a cell adjacent to a compromised cell (e.g., actively combusting cell) does not experience thermal runaway as it is shielded from dissipating heat and does not surpass a critical temperature. The present disclosure further relates to a battery module or pack with one or more battery cells and the compressible thermal barrier placed between adjacent cells.

  • Publication number: 20240310538
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods configured to produce and monitor signals that characterize activities corresponding to intruders (e.g., persons and/or animals) traversing a boundary that at least partially defines a designated area. Such activities can characterize one or more persons traversing a boundary or attempting to traverse a barrier that defines the boundary. Sensors within a substrate that extends along the boundary can be used for producing such signals. The substrate can be soil of which ground at the boundary is comprised, a manmade material located within such soil or a material from which a barrier along the boundary is constructed. The sensors can be fiber optic sensors that extend contiguously along a length of the boundary and/or can be fiber optic sensors that are located at discrete locations along the length of the boundary. The signals can cause one or more responsive actions to be implemented.
