  • Remotely controlled construction equipment
    Patent number: 10415213
    Abstract: A remote controlled construction vehicle that can be battery powered and have movement members and a tool. The vehicle in one implementation can have wheels and a bucket and may include redundant safety and control systems that inhibit inadvertent startup of the vehicle or tool. The safety and control systems may also disable the vehicle in response to detecting faults.
    Type: Grant

  • SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR BATTERY CHARGE MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20120056585
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for automobile battery management is provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus for providing balanced and individualized charging to a battery pack is provided. The apparatus uses microcontrollers to determine a charge level of the batteries, and correspondingly controls a power balancer to apply a charge current to the battery in relation to the charge level, and dissipates the remaining charge current as heat energy. In one embodiment, a system controller controls a balanced charging operation of the battery system, provides an interface for a user to monitor cell-level parameters, and protects the battery cells from undercharging or overcharging during the charging or discharging operations.
