20140329124 | Battery pack design for integrating and monitoring multiple single battery cells - The present invention is directed toward apparatuses for packaging one or more cells in a larger battery pack, and apparatuses for electrically coupling a battery management system to the one or more cells in a battery pack. In the aspect of the present invention directed toward battery packaging apparatus with integrated spring contacts, said embodiment is comprised of an electrically conductive element that has a first and second surface, with the first surface electrically coupled to a first battery, and a first spring like element that is coupled to the first face of the electrically conductive element. The electrically conductive element has a cross section such that the second surface contacts the spring like element in two areas; a first and second area. The spring like element is operable for providing a force on the electrically conductive element when the first area is translocated toward the second area. | 11-06-2014 |
20120037441 | Narrow Body Ultra Efficient Three Wheeled Electric Vehicle with Automotive Class Feel - A three wheel electric vehicle platform with two wheels in front and one wheel at the rear, a full safety roll cage, a propulsion and steering system operating through the two front wheels, and operator's and passenger's seats mounted in-line along the vehicle centerline. The propulsion system is an electric motor powered by an energy storage device driving a speed reduction and differential with dual outputs suitable for two wheel front drive. The operator's seat is narrower in parts than a conventional automotive seat such that the rear seat passenger's knees can comfortably straddle the operator seat to allow the distance between the two occupants to be less than a typical automobile. The driver's and passenger's heels comfortably fit into recessed wells within the energy storage device, thus allowing the driver's and passenger's center of gravity to be lower, while still maintaining a comfortable sitting position. | 02-16-2012 |
