Abstract: A motor vehicle has an electrical drive machine that is supplied with electrical energy by an electrical energy storage device, and has an underbody region or surface (5). The electrical energy storage device is accessible for maintenance and/or installation work via a maintenance cover (10) in the underbody surface (5) to reduce time required for maintenance and/or installation work.

Abstract: An electrical energy store for a motor vehicle has multiple battery cells oriented in the same direction. Each battery cell has two parallel sides and a cell terminal with one plus pole and one minus pole. The battery cells are in the form of pouch cells between which there is arranged a cooling foil that comprises graphite particles and a cooling duct connected in heat-transmitting fashion to the cell terminal and to the foil.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for managing storage space in a virtualized computing environment. The method includes a computer determining, by one or more computer processors, that a virtual computer system has reached a threshold level of minimum available storage space. The storage space of the computer system is searched for an inactive snapshot file. When the inactive snapshot file is located, the inactive snapshot file is moved to a secondary storage.

Abstract: Embodiments for managing data in a hierarchical storage server storing data blocks of a database system comprising primary storage devices being in an active mode and secondary storage devices being in one of an active and passive mode are provided. In response to read and write requests for data blocks at logical storage locations, a block mapping device determines physical storage locations on the storage devices. Read requests switch over secondary storage devices to the active mode when they are in the passive mode. Write requests write data blocks only to the primary storage devices. Secondary storage devices that have not been accessed for a minimum activation time may be switched over from the active to the passive mode to save power consumption and cooling. Data migration and data recall policies control moving of data blocks between the primary and secondary storage devices and are primarily based on threshold values.

To reduce unwanted damage to the battery, the fluid connection (15) is combined with the holder (12) so that the holder (12) protects the fluid connection (15) from mechanical damage.

Abstract: An energy store for a motor vehicle for storage and emission of electrical energy as required, having a multiplicity of cells which are positioned one above the other and/or alongside one another like an array, wherein each cell is surrounded by a first material, wherein a second material is positioned between the cells which are surrounded by the first material and form a cell array, and wherein heat exchanging ribs are positioned at edges of the cell array.

Abstract: Novel heterocyclic compounds of the formula I in which R1, R2, R2?, R2?, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8 have the meanings indicated in Claim 1, are activators of glucokinase and can be used for the prevention and/or treatment of Diabetes Typ 1 and 2, obesity, neuropathy and/or nephropathy.

Abstract: An electromagnetic camshaft adjusting device has an armature unit, which can be moved relative to a yoke and core unit by energizing a stationary coil unit and which is designed to carry out an axial actuating movement and to exert a correspondingly axially directed actuating force on a rotating internal combustion engine camshaft by a slider unit interacting with the armature unit. The yoke and core unit is mounted such that it can rotate relative to the coil unit and provides a receptacle for the armature unit that is guided such that it can move axially in the yoke and core unit and has the slider unit firmly seated thereon.

Abstract: Performing a backup of a stub object located on a file system managed by a hierarchical storage manager configured to migrate data objects from the file system to a migration storage pool. The stub object includes information for recalling a migrated data object and is configured to determine whether a backup copy of the migrated data object is stored in a backup storage pool if the backup is performed in an incremental backup operation. The backup further includes directing the hierarchical storage manager to recall the migrated data object to the file system if the backup copy of the migrated data object is not stored in the backup storage pool or if the backup is performed in a selective backup operation. The backup additionally includes storing a backup copy of the migrated data object in the backup storage pool if the migrated data object is recalled.
