Abstract: An energy store for storing electrical energy includes storage cells in R rows and Q columns. The energy store is divided into Q/N sub-stores which each have R rows and N columns. Further, the energy store includes Q/N sub-contacting systems for the corresponding Q/N sub-stores. The sub-contacting system for a sub-store is configured in each case to interconnect the storage cells of the sub-store in question in accordance with an MP arrangement, in which the storage cells of sub-groups, each with M storage cells, are interconnected in parallel to one another. The energy store further includes Q/N?1 connection elements, via which the Q/N sub-stores are interconnected in series.

Abstract: A retention system for an aircraft seat dress cover defines a cable channel sewn around the periphery of a back portion. A cable in the cable channel is tightened to tighten the aircraft seat dress cover around an aircraft seat back. Adjustable buckles at terminals of the cable interlock and allow the cable to be tightened. A midpoint strap is disposed on opposing sides of the periphery to allow the aircraft seat dress cover to more fully conform to the structure of the aircraft seat.

Abstract: An energy store-floor assembly for a motor vehicle includes an electrical energy storage device that has a plurality of battery modules and that is accommodated in a multipart storage housing and arranged on the underside of a vehicle floor of the motor vehicle. In order to provide an energy store-floor assembly for a motor vehicle in which the energy storage device is connected to the motor vehicle bodyshell in an improved manner, the battery modules of the energy storage device are connected to the vehicle floor in a central region of the storage housing by way of a plurality of mechanical connecting elements.

Abstract: An aircraft passenger seat grouping including a first passenger seat, a second passenger seat positioned to one side of the first passenger seat, an armrest positioned between the first and second passenger seats, a shell member positioned between the first and second passenger seats, the shell member extending between the first and second passenger seats in a forward direction above the armrest, and a privacy headrest extension movably attached to the privacy shell, the privacy headrest extension movable between a stowed position substantially within the privacy shell and a deployed position forward of the shell member wherein at least a portion of the privacy headrest extension is outside of the privacy shell and above the armrest. The shell member provides privacy between the seats and the privacy headrest extension deploys to increase privacy between the seats.

Abstract: A cell cover for a prismatic cell, in particular a lithium-based cell, is provided. The cell cover includes a cover plate having a bottom side, a top side and at least one current-carrying cutout, at least one electrical terminal arranged at the top side, at least one current clip associated with the at least one electrical terminal, each current clip being connectable to the cover plate in a corresponding connecting region of the bottom side of the cover plate. A corresponding electrical conductor is arranged in each current-carrying cutout. The electrical terminals and respective current clip are contactable with their associated electrical conductor. The cover plate has in at least one of the connecting regions at least one connecting cutout spaced apart from the current-carrying cutout. A corresponding one of the current clips is connectable to the cover plate in a positively locking manner at the connecting cutout.

Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, a privacy headrest assembly is configured to provide privacy to a passenger in an aircraft passenger seat, including a headrest mount portion having at least one attachment assembly configured to secure the privacy headrest assembly to at least one of a headrest and a seat frame of the passenger seat, and a privacy extension portion including a privacy shield slideably connected to at least one shell member, where the privacy shield is configured to deploy in a forward direction from a stowed position to an operational position, where, in the stowed position, the privacy shield is substantially enclosed within the at least one shell member, and, in the operational position, the privacy shield is disposed between a head of a passenger of the passenger seat and a head of another passenger in an adjacent passenger seat.

Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, a two-piece folding tray table includes a personal electronic device (PED) support member connected to a tray section such that, in a stowed position, the PED support member is substantially flush with the tray table. The PED support member may be deployable in both a folded tray table configuration and a side-by-side tray table configuration to support a personal electronic device at a substantially identical angle regardless of tray table use mode.
