Abstract
A battery pack assembly comprises a battery enclosure having a first side panel, a second side panel, a third side panel, a fourth side panel, a top panel, and a bottom panel defining a module containing volume. The battery pack assembly may contain a plurality of battery modules in the module containing volume, the plurality of battery modules having a first battery module, a second battery module, and a third battery module. The first battery module and the second battery module are positioned in a first orientation and stacked to form a column of battery modules and the third battery module is positioned in a second orientation and positioned adjacent to the column of battery modules.
Claims20
1:
- A geological sample holder for use in scanning, the holder including:
- a container for containing a geological sample and for orienting in an upright configuration during scanning;
- and
- baffles extending across the container and for baffling the geological sample to restrain the geological sample from shifting downwards and mimic a rock wall of a mine.
1 more element
2:
- A geological sample holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sample holder is angled to the horizontal for scanning.
3:
- A geological sample holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein each baffle includes an uneven edge.
4:
- A geological sample holder as claimed in claim 3, wherein the edge is a top or free edge.
5:
- A geological sample holder as claimed in claim 3, wherein the uneven edge includes an undulating edge.
6:
- A geological sample holder as claimed in claim 5, wherein the undulating edge is serrated or pointed.
7:
- A geological sample holder as claimed in claim 5, wherein each undulating edge includes peaks and troughs, the peaks and troughs collectively being mis-aligned with the container.
8:
- A geological sample holder as claimed in claim 5, wherein adjacent undulating edges are staggered.
9:
- A geological sample holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the container includes a base not including arrays of air perforations between the baffles.
10:
- A geological sample holder as claimed in claim 9, wherein the container includes one or more sloping ends extending from the base, each end extending at between 115° and 165°, and preferably about 135° from the base.
11:
- A geological sample holder as claimed in claim 10, wherein at least one of the ends define a mounting formation.
12:
- A geological sample holder as claimed in claim 9, wherein the base includes fastening formations to facilitate fastening with the baffles.
13:
- A geological sample holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the container includes a pair of sides extending from a base, the sides including fastening formations to facilitate fastening with the baffles.
14:
- A geological sample system including:
- the geological sample holder of claim 1 oriented in an upright configuration;
- and
- a scanner for scanning the geological sample in the upright geological sample holder.
1 more element
15:
- A geological sample system as claimed in claim 14, further including a mount for mounting the sample holder relative to the scanner.
16:
- A geological sample system as claimed in claim 14, wherein the scanner is a mobile scanner, and the upright sample holder advantageously provides for improved calibration and/or algorithm validation of the scanner.
17:
- A geological sample system as claimed in claim 14, wherein the upright geological sample holder is at an angle of at least 45°, at least 70°, and preferably at about 80° from horizontal.
18:
- A geological sample system as claimed in claim 14, wherein the scanner scans horizontally and includes a spectral scanner.
19:
- A geological sample system as claimed in claim 14, further including a light source for lighting the geological sample being scanned.
20:
- A geological sample analysis method, the method including:
- orienting a geological sample holder, holding a geological sample, in an upright configuration, the holder including baffles for baffling the geological sample to restrain the geological sample from shifting downwards and mimic a rock wall of a mine;
- and
- scanning the geological sample in the upright geological sample holder.
