  • Patent number: 8008891
    Abstract: A battery management system using a measurement model modeling a battery, and estimating a SOC (state-of-charge) of the battery, and a battery driving method thereof. The battery management system is constructed with a sensor, a predictor, a data rejection unit, and a measurement unit. The sensor senses a charging and discharging current flowing through the battery, a temperature of the battery, a terminal voltage of the battery. The predictor counts the charging and discharging current, and estimates the state-of-charge of the battery. The data rejection unit generates information associated with an error generated from the measurement model, as a function of at least one of the battery temperature, the charging and discharging current, the state-of-charge, and a dynamic of the charging and discharging current. The measurement unit corrects the estimated state-of-charge of the battery, using the measurement model and the information associated with the error.

  • Patent number: 8009932
    Abstract: The provided is a method that can automatically align image frames in recorded video clips. Individual frames in video may shift and rotate due to shaking or vibration of a video camera. Unaligned frames make some imaging processing techniques difficult or infeasible. One example of image processing techniques is to isolate, recognize, and/or quantitatively analyze vapor plume images captured by an Infrared (IR) camera. Such techniques have a great potential to be used to automatically detect volatile organic compounds (VOC) leaked from process equipment at refineries and chemical plants. This invention is a technique for various subsequent image processing techniques. The invention uses spatially based Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) to determine amount of shift, rotation, and scaling to align image frames, and uses a digital filtering technique to improve the alignment.
