A lithium-ion battery module includes a housing having a plurality of partitions configured to define a plurality of compartments within a housing. The battery module also includes a lithium-ion cell element provided in each of the compartments of the housing. The battery module further includes a cover coupled to the housing and configured to route electrolyte into each of the compartments. The cover is also configured to seal the compartments of the housing.

A battery assembly for a vehicle, may include a battery case including a front wall structure, a rear wall structure, and a pair of side walls connected to the front wall structure and the rear wall structure; and a battery cover with which a top portion of the battery case is covered, wherein the front wall includes a front flat wall and a pair of front inclined walls which are opposite on both sides of the front flat wall, and each front inclined wall is formed to be inclined from the front flat wall to a front end portion of a corresponding side wall among the pair of side walls.

A photovoltaic (PV) cell health monitoring apparatus includes a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag mounted to the PV cell and having identifying information of the PV cell, and a sensor in communication with the RFID tag for measuring health information of the PV cell. The RFID tag stores the measured health information together with time and locality information of the PV cell and responds to an interrogation signal by transmitting the stored information together with the identifying information. A dust sensor in the form of a comb-like electrode array measures electrical capacitance as an indication of an amount of dust on an exposed surface of the PV cell. An RFID tag antenna arranged as a meander-line patch antenna covered with polyethylene has a dual function as a temperature sensor.

The disclosed technology relates to a battery pack configured to be structurally mounted to a portable electronic device. The battery pack comprises a plurality of layers and an enclosure. The enclosure comprises a first surface and a plurality of walls that extend from the first surface in a direction perpendicular to the first surface. A portion of the first surface extends past at least one wall of the plurality of walls. The enclosure comprises a second surface configured to be connected to the plurality of walls to form a body configured to enclose the plurality of layers. The portion of the first surface is configured to be coupled to a device and the battery pack is configured to provide at least one component of the device with power when the portion of the first surface is coupled to the device.

The two-part composition includes a first part and a second part. The first part includes a vinyl-substituted polysiloxane, a hydrosilylation catalyst, expandable graphite comprising moisture, and first polymeric microspheres having been at least partially coated with inorganic filler. The second part includes a second vinyl-substituted polysiloxane, a hydrosilyl-substituted polysiloxane, and second polymeric microspheres having been at least partially coated with flame-retardant inorganic filler. The two-part composition is useful, for example, for curing into a sealant and making an assembly. The assembly has a first substrate and a second substrate with a cured product of the two-part composition in contact with the first substrate and the second substrate. Methods of making a sealant and an assembly are also described.

Embodiments of this application provide a middle frame, a battery cover, and an electronic device. The electronic device may include a mobile or fixed terminal with an edge frame or a housing, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a handheld computer, a walkie-talkie, a netbook, a POS machine, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an event data recorder, a wearable device, a virtual reality device, a wireless USB flash drive, a Bluetooth speaker/headset, or a vehicle-mounted device. Two types of materials: ceramics and plastic, are used to form a middle frame and a battery cover, thereby reducing a weight of the electronic device. This resolves a problem that is of a relatively large weight of an existing electronic device and that is caused when a pure ceramic middle frame and a pure ceramic battery cover are used in the electronic device.
