  • Publication number: 20250105467
    Abstract: An energy storage unit for a vehicle driven by an electric motor, in particular for a one-wheeler or two-wheeler driven by an electric motor, has a sub-housing, in which at least two cell stacks are housed for receiving at least two electrochemical energy storage cells in each case, which are configured as round cells. Each energy storage cell comprises two electrical cell poles and the electrical cell poles of at least two energy storage cells are electrically conductively connected to each other in a series and/or parallel connection via at least one cell connector. The at least two cell stacks are arranged adjacent to each other, such that a compression device of the energy storage unit connects the cell connectors to the electrical cell poles of the energy storage cells in the assembled state of the energy storage unit in a non-positive force-fit manner.

  • Patent number: 12065208
    Abstract: A holding device including at least one first tilting lever element rotatably mounted at a first pivotal point. This tilting element is connected to a spring element, which may be tensioned with a spring. The tilting lever element includes a first hook, which may be moved into a first position and a second position. In the first position, the first hook may engage, for holding or fixing, in a receptacle of the counter element. In the second position, the first hook releases the counter element again, so that it may be removed from the holding device. The first pivotal point of the mount of the tilting lever element is situated outside the axis of the spring. The spring of the spring element may be tensioned in one position and essentially untensioned in the other position.

  • Publication number: 20240062529
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is generally directed to identifying media documents embedded within other media documents. In one example of the technology, source fingerprints are generated from input images using a source machine-learning model. The input images are derived from the media documents. Target fingerprints are generated from the input images using a target machine-learning model. The source machine-learning model includes a first neural network. The target machine-learning model includes a second neural network that is different from the first neural network. The source machine-learning model was trained in parallel with the target machine-learning model. Candidate media-document pairs from the media documents are determined based on the source fingerprints and the target fingerprints. Each candidate media-document pair includes a media document that is a candidate for being embedded in another media document.
