This article outlines the system requirements for the Open Compute Project (OCP) Open Rack V3 (ORV3) battery backup unit (BBU). It emphasizes the importance of having an efficient and intelligent BBU ...

As COVID-19 spread in early 2020, the global shortage of emergency ventilators was one of the biggest concerns. The increasing demand for ventilators meant they would soon be out of supply, so a team ...

A development program looked at multiple combinations of SMC with short glass and carbon fiber — with and without unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber prepreg (the hybrid is often called tailored SMC) to ...

Battery dendrites are not caused by electrical origins, but instead have mechanical sources. The dendrites propagate due to fracture of the electrolyte and subsequent crack filling-in. Stresses on the ...

Lanxess and INFAC have together developed a battery module housing for electric vehicles (EVs). The battery housing has been adopted to series production of EV models launched by a Korean OEM. Photo ...

As battery electric vehicle (BEV) ownership becomes more prevalent, addressing critical issues such as range anxiety and thermal management safety is essential. John Albaugh from Elkem Silicones ...

Electric Class 3 pallet jacks are generally powered by one of three battery types: flooded lead acid (FLA), absorbed glass mat (AGM) or Lithium-ion. Which technology is best for material handling ...

Modular Li-ion battery designs offer superb thermal runaway containment, serviceability, recyclability and scalability, making them ideal for various applications. However, they can have higher mass ...
