An energy storage system comprising at least one energy storage module adapted to supply electrical energy to a hybrid vehicle. The energy storage module comprises an enclosure, at least one battery array located within the enclosure, and an energy storage controller module located within the enclosure and electrically connected to the battery array. The energy storage module further comprises a compliant tipped thermistor which may be installed within a flexible clip. The thermistor is positioned to monitor the temperature of one or more of the batteries within the energy storage system.

Energy storage system for hybrid electric vehicle

An energy storage system comprising at least one energy storage module adapted to supply electrical energy to a hybrid vehicle. The energy storage module comprises an enclosure, at least one battery array located within the enclosure comprised of one or more battery cells held in place between side rails and secured by end plates and mounting pins. The end plates also include flanges which secure the end plates behind the pins. The pin arrangement provides more secure holding and helps prevent torque loosening during operation. The battery array also includes cell retainers between each cell to reduce thermal transfer between cells, and an insulation liner between the battery cells and the side rails to improve creepage and clearance.

Pinned battery cell array for a hybrid electric vehicle

A differential pressure transducer housing assembly comprising a sensor housing and a connectable cap member. The cap member includes an input port, a post and at least one coupling member. The sensor housing includes an opening for receiving the post of the cap member, and a bracket for engaging the coupling member. When the cap member is connected to the sensor housing, the coupling member and the bracket engage such that the cap member and the housing are fixed in register with respect to each other. Because the cap member is connectable to the sensor housing, numerous cap members having different input port orientations are possible, thus providing flexibility of design with respect to the entire sensor assembly.

Differential pressure transducer assembly

A pressure sensor suitable for sensing low pressure environments. The pressure sensor includes a piezoresistive sensing element enclosed within a protective housing, and utilizes an insert molded into the housing for supporting the sensing element and concentrating stresses within the housing at a maximum distance from the sensing element. The insert is adapted to work in cooperation with a constraint to isolate the sensing element from stresses within the housing, so as to improve the electrical performance of the sensing element to low pressure environments, such as an evaporative emission system of an automobile.
