  • Publication number: 20200110135
    Abstract: Improvements in a battery optimization and restoration device that uses a means of varying the regulator voltage as a function of time and discharge event timing and depth in order to establish a consistent power level for the charging of the capacitor. The device models the power supply regulation voltage as a first order factor as a function of time. The regulation voltage is modeled as a function of time so as to maintain an acceptable charging current at all times by charging a large capacitive load which is periodically discharged in a rapid pulse-like manner requires a modeled regulation voltage that is synchronized to the discharge frequency of the capacitor. The modeled charging is a function of the discharge depth and the charging height in initial capacitor voltage before the discharge and the final capacitor voltage after the discharge.

  • Patent number: 10599106
    Abstract: A Cloud Based System of remotely controlling service and diagnostic devices using a computer based hardware system, computer software, an Artificial Intelligence means comprising computer software and algorithms, a data storage means, a Global Geo-Positioned Local Device management means, and a communications network. While the exemplary device was initially designed as a “Cloud Capable” Battery Device Command and Control Service Oriented System, it is understood that the disclosed Cloud Capable Battery Device Management System is not limited to the Battery Device Service Industry; rather, it may be uniquely suited to other non-battery industry Device Command and Control applications.

  • Publication number: 20160268841
    Abstract: Improvements in a high frequency multiphase flyback power supply for battery charging and power supplies used in devices that provide de-sulfation capability to the batteries. The system utilizes a high efficiency, multiphase array flyback battery charger or power supply, with a localized or Internet based bi-directional communication means to monitor and optimize battery charging. The de-sulfating current can be a variable, or harmonic, repeating patterns of ON and OFF pulses which may be applied to the battery at an operator-adjustable peak amperage of about 0-350 amps. The de-sulfation process before, during or after the normal battery charging cycle, or any combination thereof. The temperature of the battery and the specific gravity of the fluid within the battery is measure during the de-sulfating process. The connection to the internet allows the processes to be monitored at a distance from where the charging is taking place.

  • Patent number: 6661112
    Abstract: A fluid control method includes providing fluid flow through a conduit having a pressure sensitive shutdown valve; driving an electrical power generator with the turbine wheel and delivering electrical power to a storage battery which in-turn powers the components of the system. The method further includes: detecting turbine RPM; calculating volume flow rate from the RPM value and conversion factors input to a computer program. Next, it is determined if average or peak flow rates exceed set point values and creating a shut down signal if it is true so as to close the shutdown valve. A fluid pressure delta is therefore established across the shutdown valve and it is only opened when fluid pressure equilibrium is restored across the valve after break or leak repair and after slowly refilling the downstream system.
