  • Transport protocol independent communications library
    Patent number: 9723061
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for a transport protocol independent communications library. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a communication request from a client device and processed according to a selected transport protocol, generating a response to the communication request, the response including data responsive to the communication request and one or more feature values specifying one or more communication features for the communication request, each communication feature being independent of the selected transport protocol, and providing the response to the communication request according to the selected transport protocol.

  • Unitary energy storage and sensing batteries
    Patent number: 9356327
    Abstract: A battery apparatus having an electrochemical cell that includes an electrically insulating hollow mandrel, a pair of active materials wound on the mandrel, and a sensing unit located within the mandrel and coupled to the pair of active materials through a pair of contacts. The active materials are connected and separated by an electrolyte. The sensing unit is configured to monitor conditions of the cell and to generate a signal indicative of a sensed condition for communication to a battery management unit.
