Patent number: 10250045Abstract: A battery pack includes an arrangement of battery cells organized in battery groups connected in series, with each group having one or more battery units connected in parallel, and each battery unit comprising one or more series-connected battery cells connected to a battery switch. Charging of the battery pack uses pulse charging. The charging pulses provided to the battery units can be determined based on one or more measured characteristics of battery cells comprising the battery unit so that charging of the battery units can be optimized according to those characteristics. The charging pulses provided to each battery group are timed so that there is an uninterrupted flow of charging current through all the battery groups at all times.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2018Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: GBatteries Energy Canada Inc.Inventors: Mykola Sherstyuk, Oleksandr Tkachenko

Publication number: 20170302088Abstract: A battery charging circuit can produce a pulsed charging current to charge a battery. During charging, without disconnecting the pulsed charging current from the battery, EIS measurements can be made. In other words, the pulsed charging current can serve double-duty, for battery charging and as a drive signal for the EIS measurements. The EIS measurements can be used to alter parameters of the pulsed charging current to improve battery life. In some instances, the parameters of the pulsed charging current can be momentarily changed for the purpose of making the EIS measurements, and then restored subsequent to making the measurements to parameters suitable for battery charging.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2017Publication date: October 19, 2017Applicant: GBATTERIES ENERGY CANADA INC.Inventors: Oleksandr Tkachenko, Mykola Sherstyuk

Patent number: 8287434Abstract: Strength training exercise is facilitated by a video gaming system (VGS). VGS communicates information about the exercise resistance force with an exercise device. Strength training machine coupled with the VGS and acts as a game controller. The machine provides resistance by an electrical motor. Resistance can be adjusted using data send from the VGS. Further, the resistance can pulsate during an exercise motion, providing internal muscle massage. The video gaming system uses a non-contact method to monitor a physiological parameter of the user. For example, a video camera is used to detect heart rate. Pose tracking information is used to detect the level of user exhaustion. Those and other monitored parameters are used to adjust the regime for either current or future exercises. The regime is optimized to increase workout efficiency. An activity not directly related to exercise, for example game, is unlocked if exercise performance is on track.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2011Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Inventors: Vyacheslav Zavadsky, Mykola Sherstyuk

Publication number: 20120136469Abstract: A system for controlling the operation of a printing press used to apply an aqueous printable electrically conductive ink onto a substrate to create electrically conductive traces of such ink includes a probe for contacting the electrical traces and for obtaining a resistance measurement therefrom. A computer receives the resistance measurement, compares such measurement with pre-selected data correlating resistance with acceptable performance criteria for such traces, determines whether such resistance measurement signifies acceptable performance, and signals an appropriate mechanism for identifying those electrical traces which do not meet the acceptable performance criteria. Unacceptable traces are removed from the press prior to further processing. The computer can also signal an ink replenishment or conditioning system, contained in a replaceable cartridge, to correct any abnormalities in the ink properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2006Publication date: May 31, 2012Inventors: Michael Petersen, Mykola Sherstyuk, James Nielson
