Abstract: An apparatus for cooling a battery includes a body having a surface for arranging a battery cell of the battery to be cooled. The body includes a channel for a cooling medium, wherein the channel is open at least in sections towards the surface. The body includes a material at least in the region of the channel, which material is configured so as to expand at least in sections into the channel up to the battery cell when its temperature lies above a limit value.

Abstract: A module for a battery having a housing traversed by passages for coolant, cells arranged between the passages, and sealing bodies arranged in the passages, configured to expand upon heating and partially close the passages.

Abstract: A motor vehicle traction battery module having an inherently rigid battery housing, in which a plurality of plate-shaped pouch battery cells are arranged parallel to one another. A plate-shaped cooling structure for direct cooling of the pouch battery cells by a cooling liquid is arranged between two adjacent pouch battery cells. The cooling structure, which is compressible in the transverse direction and perpendicular to its plate plane, includes a plurality of inherently rigid trench bodies, each having a trench opening. The trench bodies alternately face with their respective trench openings the one pouch battery cell and the other pouch battery cell of the two adjacent pouch battery cells in such a way that the respective pouch battery cell is directly cooled by a cooling liquid flowing in the respective trench body.

Abstract: A cell housing (10) of a directly cooled battery cell and a battery cell having the cell housing (10) are provided, as well as a vehicle having such a battery cell. The cell housing (10) is configured so that a cooling medium flows directly around it. The cell housing (10) has at least one burst region (11) configured to burst at a defined positive pressure inside the cell housing (10) and to dissipate the positive pressure. Furthermore, the cell housing (10) has a cover flap (12) that is fastened to the cell housing (10) in a pressure-tight manner and extends completely across the burst region (11).

Abstract: A motor vehicle traction battery module having a battery housing, in which multiple pouch battery cells are arranged. A plate-shaped cooling structure for direct cooling of the pouch battery cells by a cooling liquid is arranged between two adjacent pouch battery cells. The cooling structure which is compressible in the transverse direction (Y) and perpendicular to its plate plane (xz), includes a first studded plate having a constant plate thickness with a plurality of shaped hollow studs, whose stud peaks contact a side wall of an adjacent pouch battery cell; a second studded plate that is identically shaped to the first studded plate, so that the stud peaks of the second studded plate contact a side wall of the adjacent pouch battery cell; and an elastic pressure structure between the two studded plates, through which the two studded plates are pushed away from one another over their entire surface.

Abstract: A battery device for a motor vehicle powered at least semi-electrically, with a cooling device having a coolant circuit for direct cooling of battery cells and with a battery housing having a housing space for receiving the battery cells. The housing space provides a portion of the coolant circuit, such that a coolant can directly flow around the battery cells. The cooling device includes a terminal device arranged on the battery housing, via which the coolant can be introduced into the battery housing or discharged out of the battery housing. The terminal device provides a degassing opening for the battery housing. In case of a overpressure in the housing space, the degassing opening opens via at least one breaking device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for synchronizing a stimulus with EEG data for research and clinical and consumer applications using EEG and ECG devices. An input/output adapter for stimulus timing includes an adapter input port for receiving an encoded audio file played from an audio output device. The audio file has a first channel carrying trigger data and a second channel carrying stimulus data. The adapter is configured to separate the encoded audio file into its first and second channels; read the trigger data in the first channel and generate a trigger signal for delivery to an EEG data logger; and read the stimulus data in the second channel and generate an auditory signal for delivery to an audio playback device. Timing errors in regard to stimulus onsets are addressed by the synchronized transmission of the trigger signal and auditory signal.
