Abstract: A battery includes a tubular battery cell including an anode, a cathode and a solid electrolyte. The battery cell defines a central through hole. The battery further includes a container. The battery cell is inside of the container. The container includes a fluid inlet configured to provide fluid to the central through hole and a fluid outlet configured to receive fluid from the central through hole.

Abstract: A battery assembly includes a first end section and a second end section; a plurality of battery cells stacked between the first end section and the second end section; a transmission system connecting the first end section and the second end section together; and an actuator motor configured for driving the transmission system to vary a distance between the first end section and the second end section to impact a pressure applied by the first end section and the second end section to the plurality of the battery cells.

Abstract: A torque converter includes a front cover arranged to receive a torque and an impeller having an impeller shell connected to the front cover. The torque converter further includes a turbine in fluid communication with the impeller and including a turbine shell. The torque converter further includes a lock-up clutch including a clutch plate that is non-rotatably connected to the turbine shell.

Abstract: A battery system is provided including a battery pack including a battery housing and a plurality of battery cells stacked within the battery housing in a stacking direction. Each of the battery cells includes an anode current collector, an anode material on the anode current collector, a cathode current collector, a cathode material on the cathode current collector, and a solid-state electrolyte sandwiched between the anode material and the cathode material for transporting ions between the anode material and the cathode material. The battery system also includes a pressure vessel. The battery pack is inside of the pressure vessel, and the pressure vessel includes a gas inlet and a gas outlet.

Abstract: A slurry containing abrasive particles, an oxidizing agent having a low static etch rate on at least one acid or salt metal, and having a pH of about 5 to about 11 is especially useful for polishing surfaces, including both metal and silicon dioxide, such as present in microelectronics, at the same or substantially the same polishing rates.
