Abstract: The present invention comprises a busbar enclosing at least one cavity, wherein the busbar has at least one web projecting from the wall at least partially into the at least one cavity. The at least one cavity is at least partially filled with a phase change material which is in thermally conductive contact with the at least one web.

Abstract: An electrically conductive contact element for an electrical connector includes a connection region and a contact region. The contact region comprises a main region, an end region and a contact surface. The contact surface is arranged on at least one side surface of the main region and on at least one side surface of the end region. Caverns filled with an auxiliary material are arranged exclusively under the contact surface of the end region in a microstructure; and in the region of the microstructure, the contact surface has a surface texture. A method for enclosing an auxiliary material under a contact surface of the end region of a contact region of an electrically conductive contact element for an electrical connector is provided.

Abstract: A method for treating an electrically conductive contact element includes applying a lubricant to at least a partial region of a contact surface of the electrically conductive contact element. The contact surface is metallic. The contact surface is changed by plasma treatment to produce a coating of a solid lubricant on the partial region of the contact surface.

Abstract: A method and platform for improving one or more commutes comprises gathering data about one or more metrics of at least one user's commute; analyzing one or more alternate types of commutes available to the at least one user; generating, based on the data about one or more metrics and the analysis of the one or more alternate types of commutes available, one or more recommendations to the at least one user comprising at least one of the one or more alternate types of commutes.

Abstract: A method and platform for improving one or more commutes comprises gathering data about at least one user's commute, wherein the data pertains to the at least one user utilizing one or more resources; analyzing one or more alternate types of commutes available to the at least one user; determining an inventory level of the one or more resources, generating, based on the data, the analysis of the one or more alternate types of commutes available, and the inventory level of the one or more resources, one or more recommendations about the at least one user.
