  • Patent number: 11967737
    Abstract: A busbar for a battery module is provided. The battery module includes a plurality of aligned battery cells, and the busbar includes: a busbar body portion extending in an extension direction and a plurality of legs extending from the busbar body portion in a direction non-parallel to the extension direction of the busbar body portion. The busbar body portion have a length to connect cell terminals of a plurality of the battery cells of the battery module, and the legs are configured to electrically connect the busbar body portion and the cell terminals of the battery cells of the battery module to each other.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11271272
    Abstract: A battery module includes: a plurality of battery cells aligned with each other in an alignment direction; a plurality of busbars; an inlay molded to at least one of the busbars and having a height equal to or less than the at least one busbar; and a top cover on the busbars. Each of the battery cells includes a battery case, an electrode assembly in the battery case, a cap assembly on the battery case, a gas exhaust vent in the cap assembly, and cell terminals protruding over the cap assembly. Each of the busbars electrically connects the cell terminals of a group of the battery cells to each other. The top cover covers the cap assemblies, the busbars, and the inlay, and the busbars and the inlay form a support surface facing towards the top cover to support the top cover.

  • Patent number: 10908058
    Abstract: A rheometer has rotary rheometer and a linear DM(T)A analysis unit. A measuring shaft of the rotary rheometer carries a measuring part that faces a measuring part carried on an adjusting rod of the linear analysis unit. The sample under test is placed in a measuring gap between the measuring parts. The DM(T)A analysis unit has a linear motor, in particular magnetically operated, with a stator and a slider, and a magnetically-operated gravitational compensation unit, by way of which it is possible to compensate for the weight force of the adjusting rod, the measuring part on the adjusting rod, the slider, and any optional the components fastened to the slider.
