Abstract: A controlled fuel distribution system and method for use in a vehicle fuel filling facility, including at least one fuel pump having a nozzle and at least one nozzle-mounted transceiver for receiving information from a vehicle prior to discharge of fuel thereinto and communicating with an authorization subsystem located at the vehicle fuel filling facility, and a fuel flow driven transceiver power generator operated by fuel pumped by the at least one fuel pump and passing through the nozzle for powering the at least one nozzle-mounted transceiver.

Abstract: A vehicle refueling system including a controller disposed in a vehicle, a fuel nozzle communicator arranged adjacent a fuel intake conduit, connected to the controller and communicating information from the vehicle to refueling systems outside thereof and a securely attached vehicle identifier assembly including a vehicle identification chip disposed in an identification portion, an output portion defining a connector coupled to the controller and a neck separating the identification portion and the connector, the vehicle identification chip including a data store containing identification data, the data store being connected to a data output in the output portion-via connectors passing through the neck, the neck securely fitting into the vehicle's chassis, the neck having a breaking strain lower than that of the remainder of the system, whereby an attempt to remove the vehicle identification chip from the vehicle by removal of the output portion, causes breakage of the vehicle identifier assembly at th

Abstract: Method and apparatus for determining the state-of-charge of batteries, particularly lithium batteries, involves the steps of: (a) measuring the temperature of the battery; (b) loading the battery to produce a high discharge for a short period of time; (c) after a short rest period, measuring the open-circuit-voltage of the battery; and (d) determining from the measured temperature and open-circuit-voltage the residual state-of-charge of the battery. Preferably, the residual state-of-charge of the battery is determined by comparing the measured temperature and open-circuit-voltage with reference tables showing the state-of-charge at different temperatures and open-circuit-voltages for the respective battery.
