  • Patent number: 11742532
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process medium guiding apparatus for a recombination system having a recombination device for the catalytic recombination of hydrogen and oxygen created in accumulators to form water. According to the invention, a process medium guiding apparatus for a recombination system having a recombination device for the catalytic recombination of hydrogen and oxygen created in accumulators to form water is to be provided. The process medium guiding apparatus is designed such that the recombination system is limited towards the outside and comprises at least one guiding element. The guiding element is arranged above the recombination device, so that a process medium, more particular water, is guided from the process medium guiding apparatus to at least a partial region of an interior region of the recombination system.

  • Patent number: 9105882
    Abstract: An energy storage cell has a cell body with an areal expansion in an extension plane, with four side faces bounding a circumference of the area of extent and having each two of the side faces parallel to one another. A conductor electrode and a second electrode are disposed on one of the side faces symmetrically in the direction of the circumference of the extension plane relative to a center of the corresponding side face. A line from a contact point between an inward facing edge of the electrodes to a center point of the extension plane encloses an angle ? of 10°<?<36° with the corresponding side face. The center of the side face and/or a contact point of an outward facing edge of the electrodes forms an angle ? about the center point of the extension plane of 8°<?<45° with the corresponding side face with said center.

  • Patent number: 8993140
    Abstract: A rechargeable battery cell has at least one energy-optimized cell unit and at least one power-optimized cell unit. The power-optimized cell unit is configured in such a way that it can be used to generate a higher power than with the energy-optimized cell unit. The energy-optimized cell unit is configured in such a way that it can be used to store a higher quantity of energy per volume of the energy-optimized cell unit and/or per mass of the energy-optimized cell unit than with the power-optimized cell unit. The at least one energy-optimized cell unit and the at least one power-optimized cell unit are arranged in a common cell housing.

  • Publication number: 20120286591
    Abstract: A power supply device has a power source providing a voltage and a monitoring device electrically connected to the power source. The monitoring device measures the voltage, the current, and the temperature of the power source when power is drawn from the power source, and interrupts the power draw if the voltage drops below a cutoff threshold. The cutoff threshold depends on the temperature at the power source and the current.
