  • Battery cell securing assembly and method
    Patent number: 10263236
    Abstract: An exemplary battery assembly includes, among other things, a rail of a first cell assembly received within a slot of a second cell assembly to secure the first and a second cell assemblies relative to each other. A rail terminal is disposed within a rail surface that faces back toward an electrode structure of the first cell assembly. An exemplary battery cell securing method includes, among other things, positioning a rail of a first cell assembly within a slot of a second cell assembly to secure the first and second cell assemblies relative to each other. The rail has a rail surface that faces back toward an electrode structure of the first cell assembly, and a rail terminal disposed within the rail surface.

  • Method and apparatus for wireless charging access point identification
    Patent number: 10076967
    Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to detect communication signals from an access point. The processor is also configured to determine an access point affiliation with a wireless charging pad based on data included in the communication signals, the data also providing charging pad compatibility characteristics. The processor is further configured to determine vehicle compatibility with the charging pad based on the compatibility characteristics and responsive to a vehicle being compatible with the charging pad, connect to the access point.
