Abstract: An opposed-piston engine is configured to use hydrogen fuel. The opposed-piston engine has at least one cylinder and a pair of pistons disposed for opposed motion in a bore of the cylinder. Hydrogen fuel is directly side-injected into the cylinder in a compression stroke of the opposed-piston engine, mixed with charge air in the cylinder, and auto-ignited in a combustion chamber formed in the cylinder between the pistons during the compression stroke. A method of operating the hydrogen opposed-piston engine includes switching between a first ignition mode using an externally-generated ignition impulse to ignite the mixture of hydrogen fuel and charge air, and a second ignition mode using compression to ignite the mixture.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a battery pack, a power tool system and a charging system. The battery pack includes a battery pack housing in which a battery cell assembly and a circuit board are mounted. The circuit board is electrically connected with the battery cell assembly. A plurality of Type-C connectors are arranged on the circuit board and electrically connected to the circuit board to realize an electrical connection between the battery cell assembly and the Type-C connectors, and are configured to connect external devices.

Abstract: A component for a vehicle, includes at least one component part, which is made of a magnetically active foam material and/or a foam material which can be magnetically activated and/or a dielectric elastomer. The component is at least partially or completely laterally delimited so that the component elastically expandable in at least one degree of freedom. The component can be a switch element, a transducer, an active muffler, and/or an energy conversion element.

Abstract: A safety protection apparatus of elastic-plastic steel structure is disclosed. The apparatus includes an outer protecting layer (4) and buffering assemblies arranged in a layered manner along the vertical direction and fixed within the outer protecting layer (4). Each buffering assembly includes stiffening beams (3) distributed in a layered manner along the horizontal direction and buffer members (2) uniformly bridging between adjacent stiffening beams (3), and each of said buffer members (2) comprises a pair of arc-shaped damping spokes (1). Shock absorbing rubber elements (5) are provided between vertically adjacent stiffening beams (3). The apparatus has high safety, good durability, and it is convenient to be installed and maintained.

Abstract: A ventilation system comprises a seat, a first fan, and a second fan. The seat has an upholstery part that includes a shaped body. The shaped body has a bearing surface, a rear side opposite the bearing surface, a first opening extending generally from the bearing surface to the rear side, and a second opening. The first fan is coupled to the first opening and is configured to generate a first flow of air generally perpendicular to the bearing surface. The second fan is coupled to second opening and is configured to generate a second flow of air generally transverse to the first flow of air.
