A rechargeable battery is a type of electrical battery that may be discharged and recharged multiple times, rather than serving as a one-time use power source. As a common component of countless electronic devices, electric vehicle systems, and aircraft, it is important that rechargeable batteries are well managed and protected to ensure their continued efficiency and functionality over many cycles. With a device known as a battery management system (BMS) a rechargeable battery may be managed for the means of protection, monitoring, control, and more.

Fixtures and jigs are two devices used to reduce the down time of mass production processes. As such, the two terms are frequently used interchangeably. Despite this, functionally speaking, they are different tools. This blog will look at fixtures and jigs, their types, uses, and differences.

With the advent of automatic transmissions and the implementation of various hydraulic components, cars no longer rely on clutches and gear shifts for their operation. Rather, the automatic transmission system utilizes a hydraulic torque converter, that of which is a fluid coupling that allows for the engine's torque to be transformed and transmitted to the transmission system. As such, hydraulic torque converters allow for smoother operations of vehicles, providing various benefits with their use.
