Abstract: A battery cell housing for a battery cell of an electric energy storage device has a base element which is designed to arrange the battery cell housing on a base of the electric energy storage device. The base element can be adhered onto the base using an adhesive, and the base element has an adhesive surface for applying the adhesive and an embossed section for receiving excess adhesive. A battery cell is also described.

Abstract: An absorber structure for high-voltage stores includes a main part made of a first material, the main part having a placement area for placing a multiplicity of energy storage cells thereon. The first material is provided with an additive or, at least in some areas, with a coating. The additive or coating increases the heat resistance of the main part.

Abstract: A battery cell housing for a battery cell of an electric storage device of an at least partially electrically operated motor vehicle has at least one interior space which is designed for the arrangement of cell elements of the battery cell. The battery cell housing surrounds the interior space at least partially and has at least one cover element on which an electric terminal of the battery cell is formed. The battery cell housing has at least one profile element which is located on an outer wall of the battery cell housing in such a way that the profile element protrudes beyond the at least one cover element, at least in some regions.

Abstract: A drive or traction battery for a motor vehicle has a battery housing with a top wall and a bottom wall. The bottom wall forms, at least in part, an underbody of the motor vehicle. In the battery housing there is a battery cell layer having a plurality of battery cells, arranged vertically and next to one another, and a support layer, which can also be referred to as a degassing layer, spacer layer, collision protection layer or deformation layer. In each battery cell, at least one degassing opening is formed in the side facing the support layer, and a degassing space, such as a recess, that can hold a certain volume of gas is arranged opposite each degassing opening in the support layer.

Abstract: A structural element for a battery housing of a motor vehicle is located, in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, in an end region of the battery housing. In order to improve the properties of the battery housing in the event of an accident, the structural element includes at least one deformation zone for specific deformation and energy absorption, the at least one deformation zone having at least two interconnected wall portions which extend in the vertical and transverse directions of the vehicle and between which a free space is formed.

Abstract: method A first image of a moving object is acquired by of a first imaging method, e.g by PET or SPECT imaging. The first image contains artifacts caused by object motion. From two further images acquired by a second imaging method, e.g. C.T. or M.R., and representing the object in respective states of motion, a motion model is formed. The information contents of either the first image or a combination image, formed from the first image and the two further images, and the motion model is enhanced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of computing the transformation for transforming two images (10, 10?), in particular medial MR- or CT-images of a patient, one into the other. The motion pattern at tissue boundaries shows an abrupt change of local transformation parameters that can not be described by continuous transformation functions. To deal with this problem a clustering of corresponding control points (14) is proposed which all have similar or substantial by the same transformation parameters (t1-t4). Criteria for clustering are derived from the local transformation parameters. The transformation parameters for further control points (5, 6, 7), which belong to more than one cluster (C1, C2) are determined in two steps taking into account that the control point (5, 6, 7) could belong to only one of the clusters rather than by performing a conventional interpolation of the transformation parameters of neighbouring control points.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method in which the information contents of an image of a moving object is enhanced. The invention also relates to a system in which such a method can be carried out and to a computer program enabling a data processing unit to carry out such a method. The method is used notably in the field of medical imaging systems. According to the method first a first image of a moving object is acquired by means of a first imaging method, said image containing artifacts which are caused by the object motion. From two further images, acquired by means of a second imaging respective state of motion of the motion, there is formed a motion model which is implemented in a different manner in image processing or image forming steps, so that the information contents of either the first image or a combination image, formed from the first image and the two further images, is enhanced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of computing the transformation which transforms two different images (10, 10?) of an object one into the other while describing the motion or deformation of the object. In accordance with the method first the local transformation parameters are computed for sub-regions (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). By choosing the sub-regions so as to be sufficiently small, a rigid transformation can be used for this purpose. Starting from at least one first predetermined sub-region (1), the local transformation parameters of the neighboring sub-regions (2, 3, 4, 5) are successively computed, the starting values on which each computation is based being the already determined local transformation parameters of neighboring sub-regions. Using the local transformation parameters thus determined for sub-regions, the overall transformation can subsequently be computed.
