  • Publication number: 20230251323
    Abstract: A method for determination of a state of health indicator of an electrical accumulator includes converting a set of charge and discharge operations into an equivalent set of symmetrical reconstituted cycles and selecting the symmetrical reconstituted cycles. For each selected symmetrical reconstituted cycle the rate of energy supplied by the electrical accumulator during the discharge phase per unit of state of charge amplitude of the electrical accumulator and a total equivalent energy value for a complete charge of the electrical accumulator are determined. The method also includes determining a mean value from total equivalent energy values relating to a plurality of selected symmetrical reconstituted cycles and determining the state of health indicator of the electrical accumulator by dividing the mean value by the value of the nominal energy capacity of the electrical accumulator.

    Abstract: The invention is a nanowire-comprising device for detecting at least one target biomolecule. The nanowires are placed between a substrate and a multilayer structure. The multilayer structure lies between the nanowires and a sample liable to contain a target biomolecule. The multilayer structure comprises a functionalization surface making contact with the sample. When light is emitted from the functionalization surface, fluorescence light for example, at least one nanowire allows the light to be detected. The fluorescence light may indicate the presence or absence of a target biomolecule on the functionalization surface.
