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 diagnostic testing device for detecting sequences of genetic material and other targeted molecules by collecting at least one sample, purifying and enriching the at least one sample for reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, performing reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and indicating the presence or absence of an at least one targeted molecule or sequence of genetic material. The device is comprised of a housing which is further comprised of an exterior component, an interior component, and a testing assembly disposed therein. The device is mobile, thereby permitting convenient diagnostic use and effective storage and concealment when not in use, and laboratory-independent, thereby dismissing any need for laboratory technician intervention and input.

Abstract: Described is an improved approach to implement routing for electrical designs. A structural routing solution is provided, where an automatic routing mechanism is implemented to generate a complete routing tree. The approach captures users' design intent about the topology, and the routing system adhere to that topology intent throughout the layout process.

Abstract: A system of facilitating printing of shipping labels includes a computing device and a label printer. The computing device receive shipment database data from a remote computing device, store the shipment database data in a shipment database, receive scan data associated with an object from a scanning device, determine whether shipment data for the object is in the shipping database, determine shipping information for the object based on whether shipment data for the object is in the shipping database, and send shipping information to the label printer. The shipping information for the object is based on whether shipment data for the object is in the shipping database. The label printer prints a shipping label for the object based on the shipping information.

Abstract: Described is an improved approach to implement EM analysis, where the analysis can be performed early stages of the design process. Tree-routing is implemented using a structural routing solution, where an automatic routing mechanism is performed to generate a complete routing tree. That routing tree is then used to perform topology-driven EM analysis at various stages of the design process.

Abstract: Fishermen use gaffs to spear, hold and land large fish. This is dangerous when done from a boat and always kills the fish. A gaff consists of a u-shaped steel bar (“shank”) with one end attached to a pole and the opposite end containing a sharp point. The invention, similar to existing gaffs, but designed to hold a fish without harming it, has a blunt end, rather than a point. Instead of spearing fish, it uses two steel, spring activated, one-way gates, that span the opening between the sides of the shank. They open and then close when pulled or pushed across the part of the fish's body to which the tail attaches, making it impossible for the fish to pull its tail free from the space between the closed gates and the curve in the bend of the shank. The fish is then held without harm.
