Abstract: A computer system has a processor device configured to, for each vehicle charging station in a set of vehicle charging stations: receive topography data indicative of elevations within a predefined area around the vehicle charging station; determine, based on the topography data, a maximum possible altitude drop in relation to the vehicle charging station within the area; and determine, based on the maximum possible altitude drop, a vehicle station ranking metric for the vehicle charging station, wherein the vehicle station ranking metric is determined in such a way that a vehicle charging station with a relatively large first maximum possible altitude drop is ranked lower than a vehicle charging station with a relatively small second maximum possible altitude drop.

Abstract: A computer system comprising a processor device configured to determine altitude data of at least one of a charging location and a vehicle located at the charging location, determine topography in a predetermined area around the charging location, determine a maximum altitude drop of the topography in the predetermined area relative to the determined altitude data, instruct charging of a battery of the vehicle from an external power source of the charging location, stop the charging at a predetermined charging level below the nominally fully charged level of the battery in response to the maximum altitude drop being above a predetermined altitude drop threshold, stop the charging at the nominally fully charged level of the battery in response to the maximum altitude drop being below the predetermined altitude drop threshold.

Abstract: An induction sealing device for heat sealing packaging material for producing sealed packages of pourable food products and fed in a first direction, the sealing device having an inductor device which interacts with the packaging material by at least one active surface; a supporting body made of heat-conducting material and housing the inductor device; an insert made of magnetic flux-concentrating material and housed in the supporting body; and a member made of plastic material, and having at least a first portion interposed, in the first direction, between the supporting body and the insert so as to be at least partly surrounded by the supporting body.

Abstract: A connecting ring for holding together first and second inner race sections of adjacent bearings is disclosed. The ring is continuous and made of a resilient material, and includes a plurality of first and second axially opposed resilient tongues which engage with the inner race sections of the bearings.
