Abstract: A rechargeable battery such as a lithium ion battery is charged or discharged by supplying an electrical current to the battery or withdrawing electrical energy from the battery. In order to optimize the charging and/or discharging process the temperature of the battery can be increased during at least part of the charging and/or discharging process by reducing losses in heat-generated energy due to spontaneous heating of the battery during the charging and/or discharging process. The reduction in loss of energy can be obtained by having a layer of a heat-insulating material at least partly surrounding the battery. In order to increase the battery temperature heat-generated energy may be supplied to the battery in addition to the energy supplied to the battery by the charging current so as to maintain the outer temperature of the battery within a predetermined range during a major part of the charging process. The invention also relates to a voltage-balanced charging process wherein a battery comprising two or more cells is charged so that the voltage of each cell is about to reach the same maximun cell voltage. It is preferred that in the balanced charging process the voltage of each cell is determined at several points in time during charging, and that the charging current of each cell is controlled so as to maintain the voltage of each cell mainly equal during a major part of the charging process. The invention further relates to a battery system comprising a battery pack with one or more battery cells forming a rechargeable battery, where the battery pack comprises a layer of a heat-insulating material at least partly surrounding the battery so as to maintain within the battery pack at least part of the energy generated by spontaneous heating or internal heating of the battery during discharging or charging.

Abstract: A bus bar panel system utilizes a quick acting and simplified fastening system for making connections. The bus bar is preferably pre-perforated along the edges, although holes may be drilled at the time of fastening. The fastening system uses a stud having threads on one end for receiving the usual washers and nut. On the other end, usually away from the installer, the stud is provided with flats which engage an open slot or yoke on a keeper clip. The clip has a gauge flange to engage the edge of the bar or clamp through which the stud extends. The transverse dimensions of the open slot are related to the flats and the length of the slot to the distance of the perforations from the edge of the bar. The clip also includes a spring section which grabs the end of the stud holding the clip in place so that the installer has both hands free to secure the nut and washers. The clip, while providing the requisite area and stiffness for a good electrical connection, occupies very little space axially of the stud to fit between bars of a common phase. A wide variety of connections may be made more easily with fewer parts less apt to be dropped in locations which would normally require partial disassembly of the panel system or housing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A chain tensioner for tensioning a chain in a drive of an internal combustion engine comprises a piston displaceable within a chamber. The piston is biased by a compression spring so that it protrudes from the housing towards the chain to provide the tension. The chamber has an inlet connected to a supply of oil from the engine. The oil acts on each side of the piston with substantially the same pressure such that the piston is damped in both directions when moving in the chamber. The surface areas of the piston on which the oil acts may be substantially equal so that no tensioning force is supplied by the oil. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns the development of a low-quality resonator providing a gas-measuring system which represents a clear advance in all respects and in particular operates reliably in rough environments. The length of the resonator is considerably smaller than that of conventional measuring cells. Consequently the dimensions of the housing are also small. Owing to the short gas-exchange times and small size of the housing, the response time is considerably reduced, and the detection sensitivity with respect to ammonia, for example, is very high in spite of the short measuring cell.
