A cooling system and apparatus for power electronics includes a first heat sink and a second heat sink with coolant flow paths that receive coolant for cooling different sides of the power electronics. A first connector assembly at the inlet ends of the first and second heat sinks connects the coolant flow paths to a cooling loop, receives the coolant from the cooling loop, and splits the coolant between the coolant flow paths of the first and second heat sinks. A second connector assembly at the outlet ends of the first and second heat sinks collects the coolant flow from the coolant flow paths of the first and second heat sinks and outlets the combined coolant flows to the cooling loop.

Active material particles (100) for a lithium ion secondary battery each include a primary phase (120) comprising lithium silicate, silicon nanoparticles (122) disposed in the primary phase (120), and nitrogen-based species (128).

A battery energy storage system and methods for electrically isolating a plurality of battery cells (106) from an interface port (144) are disclosed. In one example, a method comprises measuring an electrical parameter on a DC bus (132) to which the plurality of battery cells are electrically coupled. An individual battery cell electrical parameter is determined using the electrical parameter and a quantity of the battery cells. Based at least on comparing the individual battery cell electrical parameter to a predefined threshold, the plurality of battery cells (106) are electrically isolated from the interface port (144).

A mass is movable into and out of contact with a valve seat to control flow through an opening of the valve seat. The movable mass is operably coupled to an electronic actuator. A drive current is supplied to the electronic actuator in a manner that induces a mechanical resonance in the movable mass to release the movable mass from the valve seat in response to a release condition, such as when the movable mass is stuck to the valve seat due to a temperature condition.

A piston having a piston body with an upper end opposite a lower end, between which a center axis extends. The piston body includes a piston bowl having a piston bowl surface with a half section profile that includes a central bottom portion and a target side wall that extends between first and second separation cliffs. The central bottom portion extends radially at a central slope from the center axis to the first separation cliff. The target side wall extends at a slope that is different from the central slope. The target side wall receives fuel from a fuel injector at a spray angle that avoids contact with the first separation cliff for better fuel to air mixing to delay peak of combustion rate. The second separation cliff extends at a slope that directs the fuel plume away from and detaches from the second separation cliff for peak combustion.

Methods and systems are disclosed for identifying, generating, and/or commanding operation parameters of a battery system (106) of a hybrid mining haul truck (100). The methods and systems disclosed herein may include sensors (112. 110) operationally coupled to a battery system (106) and/or an engine (104) of a vehicle to obtain characteristics related to a route of a vehicle and/or the vehicle's operation, which are configured to transmit signals to one or more processor functions for evaluation and generation of a battery system operation request or command.

A battery pack module for heavy equipment vehicles, such as mining trucks, is presented herein. The battery pack module (176) may include multiple layers of battery trays (502), each tray including multiple battery packs (504). The battery pack module may further include a cooling line system and a battery cabling system that each are connected to the battery pack layers in parallel. The battery pack module may have a unibody design to reduce weight and cost of manufacturing.

The present invention relates to an orodispersible formulation of vortioxetine comprising a granular component comprising vortioxetine or a salt thereof together with an inert carrier; a polymeric component; and an extragranular matrix wherein the polymeric component substantially encapsulates the granular component.

A method of providing lubricant to a bearing system of an engine and piston cooling nozzles of the engine, comprising: pumping lubricant from a lubricant source to a pump outlet; routing a first portion of the pumped lubricant to the piston cooling nozzles without being filtered; routing a second portion of the pumped lubricant from an outlet of a filter to the bearing system, wherein the second portion of the pumped lubricant is cooled by a cooler.

A composition comprising gold nanoparticles which are linked to polyclonal antibodies. The composition may be used to detect the presence of a target which binds to the polyclonal antibody in solution. The binding of the target to the polyclonal antibody triggers a self-assembly of the polyclonal antibody and the gold nanoparticles. This self-assembly of the polyclonal antibody and the gold nanoparticles triggers a colour change in the surface plasmon of the gold nanoparticles which indicates the presence of the target.
