Abstract:
The current application is directed to an intelligent-thermostat-controlled environmental-conditioning system in which computational tasks and subcomponents with associated intelligent-thermostat functionalities are distributed to one or more of concealed and visible portions of one or more intelligent thermostats and, in certain implementations, to one or more intermediate boxes. The intelligent thermostats are interconnected to intermediate boxes by wired and/or wireless interfaces and intelligent thermostats intercommunicate with one another by wireless communications. Wireless communications include communications through a local router and an ISP, 3G and 4G wireless communications through a mobile service provider. Components of the intelligent- thermostat-controlled environmental-conditioning system may also be connected by wireless communications to remote computing facilities.

The invention relates to a contacting element (1) for electrically connecting a contact connection (18) of an electric cell, in particular a battery cell (22), comprising at least one deformation section (2) and at least two clamping edges (9) which are each supported at opposing end sections (4) of the at least one deformation section (2).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hochstromkontaktierung (1) mit einem Kontaktpin (10), welcher mindestens eine Kontaktöffnung (15) aufweist, und einer Kontaktklemme (20), welche mindestens einen Kontaktschenkel (24) aufweist, wobei der mindestens eine Kontaktschenkel (24) der Kontaktklemme (20) an mindestens einem Fügebereich (14) mit einer korrespondierenden Kontaktöffnung (15) des Kontaktpins (10) zur Herstellung eines elektrischen Kontaktes und zur Aufnahme von mechanischen Kräften verbunden ist, und ein korrespondierendes Verfahren zur Herstellung einer solchen Hochstromkontaktierung. Erfindungsgemäß ist das Herstellen des elektrischen Kontaktes zwischen dem Kontaktpin (10) und der Kontaktklemme (20) weitgehend von der Aufnahme von mechanischen Kräften getrennt, wobei der elektrische Kontakt zwischen dem Kontaktpin (10) und der Kontaktklemme (20) durch eine erste Verbindungsart (7) hergestellt ist und die mechanischen Kräfte durch eine zweite Verbindungsart (5) aufgenommen sind.
Abstract:
A self-adjusting contact includes a plurality of conductive fibers, such as wires, arrayed along an axis perpendicular to the major plane of the battery terminal. The contact may include straight or corrugated wires, aligned substantially along the axis. The wires may be arranged in a bundle and held within an electrically conductive holder, which may be cylindrical or bell-shaped, and the wire bundle may be soldered to the bottom of a well formed in the holder.
Abstract:
A mechanical, electrical and telecommunication system to electrically connect a vehicle to an electpaty source to transfer energy to the vehicle is presented In one rendition the system has a stationary portion on the road or infrastructure side, and a moving member on the vehicle The system is designed to tolerate misalignments of a parked vehicle with respect to the parking stall An important component of the system is a pair of pgid, insulating strips with a sepes of conductors on each of them, placed at approximately nght angles to each other One of the strips is mounted on the infrastructure or road side and the other on the vehicle The two strips cover the lateral and longitudinal misalignment of the parked vehicle As long as the two stnps have an overlap, the connection can be made by the conductors in the overlap region.
Abstract:
A battery monitoring system that may be used to measure/monitor any number of battery operating conditions, including those associated with a vehicle battery. The system may be configured to interconnect a battery post that receives energy from the battery and a cable that electrically connects the battery to a vehicle.
Abstract:
A female locking electrical outlet is provided including an outlet body having slots for apertured prongs of a standard male electrical plug, a pair of locking receptacles mounted within the outlet body. Each of the receptacles has locking tabs that engage within apertures in the prongs when the outlet is in a locked position and the electrical plug is connected to the outlet. The outlet has a release mechanism with a release member for engaging each of the locking receptacles and to transition the locking receptacles from the locked position to an unlocked position. The outlet is capable of being mounted on the end of an extension cord or within a standard wall: outlet box, and for use in portable generators, UPS systems, and other auxiliary power sources containing female receptacles.
Abstract:
An arrangement for making an electric contact to a semiconductor component (1) for enabling establishing of a low resistance current path between two terminals (2) on one side or opposite sides thereof comprises pieces (2, 6) with a high electric conductivity and means adapted to press them towards a surface or opposite surfaces of said component while forming a stack together therewith. At least one thin layer (7) is arranged between two subsequent members of said stack. Said layer is of a material having a low friction coefficient with respect to one of said subsequent members and is allowed to move with respect thereto as a consequence of different coefficients of thermal expansion of said subsequent members upon temperature changes of these members.

Abstract:
A grounding clamp uses a spring driving a piston mounted movable jaw as a safety lockout. The movable jaw and a fixed jaw, which may include teeth, form a conductor clamp. The ground clamp mounts on the end of a hot stick to provide for electrically insulated remote operation of the ground clamp by a lineman holding the hot stick and pulling on, or releasing, a lever arm on the hot stick. The system provides increased safety for the lineman as the spring providing the spring loading of the clamp has a high spring force to overcome, thus providing the lockout. The lever arm on the hot stick tool provides mechanical advantage to overcome the spring force and thus release the lockout. The lineman cannot usefully operate the ground clamp manually without the hot stick due to spring force lockout.
