Abstract: Attachment mechanisms are provided that may be riveted on one end and welded on another flanged end. The flanges may allow the rivets to be welded to a frame or other part without additional support plates. In certain embodiments, the rivets may simplify manufacturing and packaging as well as reduce the weight of the attachment mechanism. The attachment mechanisms may promote load distribution, allow for the use of thinner materials, facilitate attachment to heat treated materials, allow for attachment of parts that are difficult to access, reduce fixturing, and improve manufacturing efficiency, among other things.

Abstract: A vehicle trim panel is illuminated from behind to create an illuminated design (e.g., logo and/or lettering) includes a transparent layer and an opaque layer with an opening(s) in the shape of the design. An opaque or partially opaque design piece may be placed over the opening(s) in the opaque layer and be lit around its edges. The vehicle trim panel may be formed by forming a panel with a transparent layer and an opaque layer. An opening in the opaque layer may be formed by removing opaque material (e.g., by machining or laser etching) or by masking (the mask is placed between the opaque layer and transparent layer and removed taking a portion of the opaque layer with it). A design piece may be placed over the location of the opening in the opaque layer.

Abstract: A remanufactured battery module includes a power assembly having a stack of battery cell assemblies. Each battery cell assembly includes a plurality of layers including a battery cell and a frame supporting the battery cell within the power assembly. The plurality of layers of at least one battery cell assembly includes an internal heat fin having first and second side portions extending beyond respective side edges of the battery cell and the frame. The remanufactured battery module also includes a side assembly in physical contact with the first side portion of the internal heat fin to enable the side assembly to act as a heat sink with respect to the first side portion of the internal heat fin. A layer of the plurality of layers of at least one battery cell assembly is new, and at least a portion of the side assembly is used.

Abstract: A computer system for use with a building management system in a building includes a processing circuit configured to use historical data received from the building management system to automatically select a set of variables estimated to be significant to energy usage in the building. The processing circuit is further configured to apply a regression analysis to the selected set of variables to generate a baseline model for predicting energy usage in the building.
