    Abstract: A bipolar battery cell includes a stack including N current collectors, M anode electrodes, S separators, and C cathode electrodes, where N, M, S and C are integers greater than one. A first positioning member is arranged on one side of the stack and includes a first planar portion and a first slot in the first planar portion. A first one of the C current collectors extends through the first slot in the first planar portion and is folded. The first positioning member further includes a first rail portion and a second rail portion. The first rail portion and the second rail portion extend from the first planar portion. A first external tab is arranged between the first rail portion and the second rail portion and connected to the first one of the C current collectors.

    Abstract: A sensor assembly includes a sensor and a cover disposed adjacent to the sensor to protect the sensor. The cover has an inner cover surface and an outer cover surface opposite the inner cover surface. The inner cover surface faces the sensor, and the outer cover surface faces away from the sensor. The cover has a first end wall and a second end wall apart from the first end wall along a first direction. The sensor assembly includes a cleaning system having a wiper movable along the outer cover surface of the cover in the first direction to clean to the outer cover surface. The wiper is at least partly made of a wiper material, and the wiper material includes a hydrophilic material to facilitate removal of water from the outer cover surface of the cover.

    Abstract: An improved substrate surface texture i.e., roughness, significantly improves the adhesion of thermal spray coatings. The surface texture is defined by two metrology parameters and the invention comprehends a range of average roughness (Sa) between 9 and 15 μm and developed interfacial area ratio (Sdr) of greater than 100%. This surface texture is achieved by methods such as water jet erosion, mechanical roughening, laser texturing, chemical etching and plasma etching. The surface texture is especially beneficial for walls of cylinders of internal combustion engines, hydraulic cylinders and similar components to which a thermal spray coating is adhered and which are exposed to sliding or frictional wear.
