Abstract: The present disclosure provides a battery module, which comprises: a plurality of mono-batteries arranged in a manner that side surfaces are adjacent to each other; an insulative casing receiving the plurality of mono-batteries; a supporting frame fixed in the insulative casing, provided with a potting hole, and holding the plurality of mono-batteries therein; and a separating body which is formed by injecting via the potting holes and curing and is potted among the adjacent mono-batteries, so as to allow the plurality of mono-batteries to be insulated and isolated from each other. When one mono-battery is involved in a safety problem and leaks, other mono-batteries are not affected due to the isolation of the separating body potted among the adjacent mono-batteries, so as to improve the safety performance of the battery module. In addition, the battery module has the advantages of simple structure, small size, and low cost.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating piezoelectric switches are disclosed. A piezoelectric switching system includes a first actuator, a second actuator, and a bias voltage source. The first actuator has a first body electrode, a first gate electrode, and a first contact region. The second actuator has a second body electrode, a second gate electrode, and a second contact region. The first and second contact regions are separated by a gap. The bias voltage source applies a bias voltage to the body electrodes. The bias voltage is lower in magnitude than an actuation voltage for the switch. The gate electrodes receive a switching voltage. The switching voltage causes at least one of the first and second actuators to bend, thereby closing the gap such that the second contact region electrically contacts the first contact region. The difference between the switching voltage and the bias voltage exceeds the actuation voltage of the switch.
