Abstract

A method of monitoring operation of a shredder or health of a shredder component includes: setting a profile of a selected parameter of the shredder, wherein the profile includes a nominal value, a tolerance of the nominal value, and a predetermined range of the selected parameter outside the tolerance; obtaining an actual value of the selected parameter; comparing the actual value with the profile of the selected parameter; determining the operational condition of the shredder based on a comparison between the actual value and the profile of the selected parameter. The profile is obtained based on experimental data, statistics, or machine learning.

Abstract

A stamping tool includes a lower pad, upper pad, forming steel, and sub-pad. The lower pad includes a lower forming surface recessed in a first direction between a first lower pad surface and the second lower pad surface. The upper pad is movable along a second direction. In an extended position, the upper pad holds a workpiece against the first lower pad surface. The forming steel includes a first forming surface and is movable along the first direction. In an extended position, the forming steel is received in the recess. The sub-pad is coupled to the forming steel such that the forming steel moves the sub-pad in the first direction as the forming steel moves from the retracted position to an intermediate position in which the sub-pad holds the workpiece against the second lower pad surface while the forming steel continues to move to the extended position.

Abstract

A traction battery includes a stack of cells each having two terminals. Sets of terminals are connected to busbars to electrically connect the battery cells. The busbars have a base, a set of connecting portions, and a set of stiffeners. The terminals have protruding portions and receding portions. As the busbar is positioned with respect to the battery stack, the connecting portions guide the receding portions into position by deflecting the protruding portions. The receding portions are then welded to the connecting portions. The deflected protruding portion forces the parts to be welded together, eliminating a need for clamping during the welding process.

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a battery electrode includes casting a solid battery electrode from a slurry including electrode particles, a binder, and a solvent, wherein residual solvent remains after the casting and the binder remains at least partially elastic. The solid battery electrode then undergoes flash-freezing such that the residual solvent forms dendritic ice having a pattern, and then the dendritic ice is removed from the solid battery electrode, thereby rearranging the electrode particles and the binder into a microstructure that represents a geometric negative of the pattern of the dendritic ice.
