  • Publication number: 20250046955
    Abstract: A flexible busbar comprises a first busbar layer including a first plurality of busbar segments and a first bend between first busbar segments of the first plurality of busbar segments and a second busbar layer coupled to the first busbar layer. The second busbar layer includes a second plurality of busbar segments and a second bend between second busbar segments of the second plurality of busbar segments. The first plurality of busbar segments is substantially colinear with the second plurality of busbar segments and the second bend is substantially parallel with the first bend.

  • Publication number: 20250046941
    Abstract: A battery pack that comprises a plurality of battery cells and a plurality of plates coupled between adjacent battery cells of the plurality of battery cells. The plates include a plate body and support ledges extending from the plate body. The battery pack further comprises a plurality of support tabs. Each support tab of the plurality of support tabs is positioned between, and abuts against, support ledges of adjacent plates of the plurality of plates. Each support tab of the plurality of support tabs secures adjacent plates of the plurality of plates to each other. The battery pack further comprises a busbar electrically coupling the plurality of battery cells together.

  • Publication number: 20210240499
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include identifying an application, on an electronic device, with a minimum requirement for a resource of the electronic device. The method may also include determining that an available amount of the resource of the electronic device does not meet the minimum requirement of the application. Additionally, the method may include selecting, based on the determination, an alternative user-interface mode of the application with a lower minimum requirement for the resource. Furthermore, the method may include instantiating the alternative user-interface mode of the application. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10992003
    Abstract: An electrochemical apparatus includes a catholyte, an anolyte, and a separator disposed between the catholyte and the anolyte. The catholyte includes metal salt dissolved in water, thereby providing at least one metal ion. The anolyte includes a polysulfide solution. The separator is permeable to the at least one metal ion. During a charging process of the electrochemical apparatus, oxygen is generated in the catholyte, the polysulfide in the polysulfide solution undergoes a reduction reaction in the anolyte, and the at least one metal ion moves from the catholyte to the anolyte. During a discharging process of the apparatus, the oxygen is consumed in the catholyte, the polysulfide oxidizes in the anolyte, and the at least one metal ion moves from the anolyte to the catholyte.

  • Publication number: 20200119384
    Abstract: Electrochemical apparatuses containing electrolytes that include redox-active reactants that may be present as both a dissolved species and as a solid during a charging and/or discharging process, and related methods are generally described. The redox-active reactant may contain an active species, and the electrolyte may contain a total concentration of the active species that is greater than if the redox-active reactant were completely dissolved during an entire charging and/or discharging process. The electrochemical apparatuses described may provide relatively high energy storage capacity.
