  • Publication number: 20230378575
    Abstract: A housing part, in particular a lower housing part, of an energy storage housing, has two mutually spaced longitudinal elements which run in parallel with one another and extend in a longitudinal direction. The longitudinal elements are connected at end faces via transverse elements. A planar base element is fastened to the longitudinal elements. The longitudinal elements have contact regions which are oriented towards the base element, by which contact regions the base element is fastened to the longitudinal elements. Three weld seams extending in the longitudinal direction are formed in each of the contact regions.

  • Publication number: 20230097739
    Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes receiving user input indicating a request to create a task and presenting a visual representation of the task. The method can also include receiving user input indicating an assignment of the task to an assignee, sending, to a second application, a first notification indicating the task and the assignment of the task to the assignee. It can further include receiving, from the second application, a second notification indicative of a change to a status of the task, and modifying the visual representation of the task to graphically illustrate the change in the status of the task in the user interface of the first application.

  • Patent number: 11024986
    Abstract: A cable connector assembly for an electrical device, which includes a cable connector having a pressing-member receiver, the pressing-member receiver including an electrically-conductive contact or a receiver for an electrically-conductive contact and an opposed wall portion. A cable having a cable terminal which is positionable on the cable connector in contact with the electrically-conductive contact is provided as well. A pressing member, such as a spring element, is provided which is insertable into the pressing-member receiver to contact the wall portion and the cable terminal, the pressing member holding the cable terminal against the electrically-conductive contact.

  • Patent number: 10047812
    Abstract: An actuator for an electric parking brake system includes a motor, an output member, and a speed reduction device. The speed reduction device includes a transmission mechanism and a self-locking mechanism. The self-locking mechanism includes a fixed member, first and second rotating bodies, and a spring. The second rotating body transmits torque to the output member via a planetary gear mechanism. The spring prevents the brake from driving the motor.

  • Patent number: 6257222
    Abstract: A canopy for a wet saw including a cover member adapted for extending between the motor portion and the water pan of the wet saw. The cover member has a main panel and a pair of opposed side panel. An upper edge of the main panel has a pair of tabs extending upwardly therefrom. Upper fastening means are coupled with the tabs of the upper edge of the main panel of the cover member and with the motor portion of the wet saw to facilitate securement of the cover member to the wet saw. Lower fastening means are coupled with the main panel of the cover member upwardly of the lower edge thereof and with the water pan of the wet saw to facilitate securement of the cover member to the wet saw.
