Abstract: In one aspect, a computer-implemented method may include receiving charge cycle data pertaining to a battery pack. The method may include determining, based on the charge cycle data, whether a noise level of a battery management system exceeds a first threshold. In response to determining the noise level exceeds the first threshold, the method may include determining an initial state of charge of the battery pack using coulomb counting by reversing the charge cycle data. In response to determining the noise level does not exceed the first threshold, the method may include determining whether a rest time before charge cycle exceeds a second threshold. In response to determining the rest time before charge cycle does not exceed the second threshold, the method may include determining the initial state of charge of the battery pack using coulomb counting by reversing the charge cycle data.

Abstract: A polymer electrolyte is disclosed that includes a polymer backbone containing a high dipole moiety and a low Tg moiety and a salt combined with the polymer. In addition to other possible benefits, the high dipole moiety in the polymer backbone may improve the conductivity of the polymer electrolyte. Additionally, the combination of a moiety with a high dipole moment with a moiety to impart low Tg may result in a high dielectric constant (for example, greater than 10).

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided to translate message objects received in connection with request data objects to be translated into notification objects that are in format that can be received and processed by a system associated with an intended recipient to allow for efficient communication across disparate and incompatible systems. In some example implementations, otherwise a translation system transforms request information based on parameters associated with the message object and intended recipient to ensure that request information is properly received by recipient systems that may use obsolete, legacy, and/or specialized systems. Some example implementations involve the application of error detection protocols and the display of notification object information on a user interface that allows for system monitoring and error mediation.

Abstract: A biometric token is generated for a user and provided to a user-operated device. A pre-staged transaction is defined by a user and the user supplies the token for association with the pre-staged transaction. Subsequently, a user visits a transaction terminal and a new candidate token is generated from biometric attributes of the user. The candidate token is matched to the token associated with pre-staged transaction to authenticate the user and the pre-staged transaction is processed at the transaction terminal as a completed transaction.
