Test subject interactions with the ground are recorded using a sensor system along with reference information (e.g., synchronized video information) for use in correlating tactile information with specific 3D poses, e.g., by training a neural network based on the reference information. Then, tactile information received in response to a given subject interacting with the ground can be used to estimate the 3D pose of the given subject directly, i.e., without reference to corresponding reference information. Certain exemplary embodiments use a sensor system in the form of a pressure sensing carpet or mat, although other types of sensor systems using pressure or other sensors can be used in various alternative embodiments.

The system includes a first dry electrode material delivery system configured to deliver a dry electrode material, a first calendering roll, a second calendering roll, and a controller. The second calendering roll is configured to form a first nip between the first calendering roll and the second calendering roll. The first nip is configured to receive the dry electrode material from the first dry electrode material delivery system, and form a dry electrode film from the dry electrode material. The controller is configured to control a rotational velocity of the second calendering roll to be greater than a rotational velocity of the first calendering roll.

Systems and methods of thermal control in a resilient battery cooling system ensure that power is maintained to operate a cooler even when an event disables a battery cell. The cooler can therefore prevent thermal propagation from the affected cell to neighboring cells.

A phase change material (PCM) is positioned about a battery of an eyewear device such that a latent energy of the PCM transfers to the battery as the ambient temperature drops to maintain a battery temperature. The latent energy maintains the temperature of the battery until the PCM loses it latent energy and converts to a solid phase. At normal operating temperatures, the PCM is in the liquid phase.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus for a chlorination method to recycle metal elements in lithium batteries.
US12237480B2
A battery cell evaluation method is provided. The method includes molding a pouch film to form a receiving part to which an electrode assembly is mounted, providing an impact to at least one of corners of the receiving part, storing the pouch film inside a second container together with a first container configured to contain an electrolytic solution, and detecting presence or absence of peeling of an outer layer of the pouch film.
US12237478B2
A measuring arrangement for secondary alkaline solid electrolyte batteries comprising—two electrically non-conductive cell body halves, both cell body halves comprising at least one and one cell body half comprising at least three feedthroughs, both cell body halves forming a receiving space for receiving a solid electrolyte battery cell comprising at least an anode, a cathode and a solid electrolyte. An electrically conductive holding element for each feedthrough; an electrical contact element for each support element, the electrical contact element being adapted to change its length in response to the force applied to the element; and two planar current conductors comprising electrically conductive and electrically non-conductive regions, at least one of the current conductors being adapted to form at least three separate electrically conductive connections between the contact elements and an electrode of the solid electrolyte battery cell.
