Abstract: A controller of an electric vehicle is disclosed. The controller includes: a BMS LV module configured to manage a low voltage battery; a BMS HV module configured to manage a high voltage battery; a DC-DC module configured to control a plurality of DC-DC FETs; and an ampSwitch module configured to detect a short on a bus and switch to an open state, and further configured to command the DC-DC module or an alternator to match the low battery's voltage and switch to a closed state when voltage returns to normal.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for caching data in a storage device of a computer system. A relatively high-speed, intermediate-volume storage device is operated as a user-configurable cache. Requests to access a mass storage device such as a disk or tape are intercepted by a device driver that compares the access request against a directory of the contents of the user-configurable cache. If the user-configurable cache contains the data sought to be accessed, the access request is carried out in the user-configurable cache instead of being forwarded to the device driver for the target mass storage device. Because the user-cache is implemented using memory having a dramatically shorter access time than most mechanical mass storage devices, the access request is fulfilled much more quickly than if the originally intended mass storage device was accessed. Data is preloaded and responsively cached in the user-configurable cache memory based on user preferences.
