Abstract: The present invention provides a device for cooling one or more battery cells, comprising a metal coolant channel and a plastic molded part that comprises fins having surfaces that protrude radially outward and contact one or more battery cells. A battery cooling management system comprises the device, and may include structures for impact resistance, as well as one or more coolant fluid headers, coolant fluid collection channels, or one or more protective shells. A thermally conductive foam may be disposed in between a battery cell and the plastic molded device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device and materials for cooling one or more battery cells, wherein a cooling fluid may be used on one side of a cooling channel of the device, which separates the batteries from the cooling fluid and supports the battery cells to remain in a particular position during the anticipated movement of an automobile or other vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multilayer assembly for use as a mirror/reflector in the sector of CPV (concentrating photovoltaics) and CSP (concentrating solar power). The multilayer assembly contains a substrate layer, a barrier layer, a reflective metallic layer, an oxidic layer and one other layer, which can be a plasma polymer layer or a highly refractive metal oxide layer.
