  • Publication number: 20250068835
    Abstract: A data processing system implements receiving a first input in a spreadsheet in a spreadsheet application, detecting an indication that the first input includes first executable program code, analyzing the first executable program code to identify first references to one or more first elements of the spreadsheet in the first executable program code, requesting spreadsheet data associated with the one or more first elements of the spreadsheet from the spreadsheet application, receiving the spreadsheet data from the spreadsheet application; executing the first executable program code using the spreadsheet data referenced in the first executable program code to obtain a first program code result and causing the spreadsheet application to display the first program code result in the spreadsheet application.

  • Publication number: 20250007131
    Abstract: A current collector assembly includes an electrically conductive layer with several tabs used to electrically couple with one or more battery cells. The tabs may connect to an interconnect of the electrically conductive layer by way of a fuse. Several fuses may include portions of difference sizes. For example, one portion of the fuse may be relatively longer and narrower, while another portion of the fuse may be shorter and wider. The narrower portion may be positioned between insulating layers of the current collector assembly, while the wider portion extends from the insulating layers. The wider portion of the fuse increases the likelihood of the fuse remaining intact when various forces are exerted on the fuse.

  • Publication number: 20240410951
    Abstract: A current collector can include an electrically conductive layer. The electrically conductive layer can be configured to electrically couple to a first battery cell and a second battery cell with an interstitial area between the first battery cell and the second battery cell. The current collector can include an isolation layer. The isolation layer can define an aperture. The aperture can form a path through the isolation layer to the interstitial area.

  • Patent number: 11880723
    Abstract: A test application programming interface (API) request may be issued to a test service implementation. A test API response, which is responsive to the test API request, may be received from the test service implementation. First contents of the test API response may be compared to second contents of a control API response. The comparing may be performed based at least in part on a set of one or more expected differences associated with the test API response and the control API response. It may be determined, based on the comparing, whether an unexpected difference exists between the test API response and the control API response. An indication may be provided of whether the unexpected difference exists between the test API response and the control API response, and the unexpected difference may be automatically corrected, such as via one or more configuration changes.
