Abstract: Disclosed herein are cell holders for holding a plurality of battery cells, each cell holder including a body, said body having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of through openings, wherein each through opening extends between the upper surface and the lower surface and is arranged to receive a battery cell, wherein in each through opening a deformable member is protruding in the through opening in a direction which is perpendicular to the direction of extension of the through opening to thereby decrease the diameter of the through opening such that the diameter of the through opening in the plane in which the deformable member is protruding is smaller than the outer diameter of the battery cell.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a valve having a control function and a method for controlling a valve in a fluid conduit in order to adapt flow rates and/or differential pressure rates. The valve comprises a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and a valve closing member located inside a valve body. The valve closing member is operationally connected to a variable volume chamber, which is adapted to extract energy from the fluid in order to provide either an opening or a closing displacement of the valve closing member such that the degree of opening of the valve can be changed. The supply of fluid to and from the variable volume chambers may be regulated by electronically controlled valves.

Abstract: A device having pressure independent control and balancing valves, suitable for use in a hydronic system, comprises a seat, a plug having an upstream surface and a downstream surface, and a piston, wherein the seat, plug and piston are aligned coaxially, a controller determines the size of a first flow restriction between the upstream surface of the plug and the seat, the piston is operable to move in response to differential pressure across the first restriction and a predetermined force, the position of the piston relative to the downstream surface of the plug determining the size of a second flow restriction thereby in use maintaining a substantially constant differential pressure across the first restriction.
