Abstract: A structural assembly for a battery structure includes a lower wall and a pair of cross members. The lower wall is configured to support a cell stack. The cross members are spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle. Each cross member supports a respective side of the cell stack and is configured to extend substantially an entire width of the battery structure. Each cross member includes an outer wall, an inner wall, and connecting members that connect the outer wall to the inner wall. The outer wall, the inner wall, and the connecting members cooperate to define an internal cavity. The inner walls of the cross members are secured to the lower wall to form a unitized structure that houses the cell stack.

Abstract: A structural assembly for a battery structure of a vehicle includes a lower wall and a pair of cross members. The lower wall is configured to support a cell stack. The pair of cross members are spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Each cross member provides lateral support for a respective side of the cell stack and is configured to extend substantially an entire width of a battery enclosure. Each cross member of the pair of cross members includes an outer wall, an inner wall spaced apart from the outer wall, and connecting members. The outer wall, the inner wall, and connecting members cooperate with each other to define an internal cavity. The inner walls of the pair of cross members are secured to the lower wall and slidable relative to the outer walls of the pair of cross members.

Abstract: A structural assembly for a battery structure includes a first shell, a second shell and a cold plate. The first shell includes a first cross member portion providing lateral support for a respective side of a cell stack. The second shell is secured to the first shell to define a unitized structure that houses the cell stack. The second shell includes a second cross member portion providing lateral support for a respective side of the cell stack and is spaced apart along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle relative to the first cross member portion. The cold plate is housed within the unitized structure. Each of the first and second cross member portions includes an outer wall, an inner wall spaced apart from the outer wall, and connecting members that connect the outer wall to the inner wall.

Abstract: A video compression method may include providing and transmitting encoder commands for sequences of one or more pixels in a video frame in a YCbCr color space from a set of hierarchal encoder commands. A particular encoder command for a particular sequence may include on of a copy command, a delta command, or a make pixel command. A copy command may indicate that the particular sequence is identical to one of a previous pixel in the video frame, a pixel located above a first pixel of the particular sequence in the video frame, or a pixel in a previous video frame at a location of the first pixel. A delta command may indicate that the particular sequence includes a single pixel with color values equal to the previous pixel in the video frame combined with a signed color delta. A make pixel command may provide color values of particular sequence.

Abstract: An enclosed food processing device is provided having one or more conveyor belts and vertically rotating agitators positioned above the belt. The agitators have forwardly and rearwardly projecting prongs that stir the food being processed without causing physical damage to it. The preferred forwardly projecting prongs are elongated and have a generally rounded cross-section. The preferred rearwardly projecting prongs may be staggered or otherwise arranged so as to break up clumps while permitting curds to pass between them.

Abstract: A computer system for processing and presenting cost estimates in the construction industry includes a CPU; primary input hardware for entering data and commands to the CPU; output hardware including a display for displaying information; estimating hardware for interacting with a plan print to count and/or scale off measurements of assemblies and/or items on the plan print and input such counts and/or measurements into the CPU for processing; and a memory unit having a stored assembly information record list database and a stored item information record list database and including software means for permitting an operator to command, through the primary input hardware, an opening for concurrent use of any selected number of takeoff windows from the assembly and/or item information record lists; a closing of any open takeoff window; an opening of any additional takeoff window; and a count and/or scaling off of measurements of assemblies and/or items from a plan print with the estimating hardware for cost estim
