  • Publication number: 20240088645
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit arrangement (1) having at least one supercapacitor (3) and at least one bypass circuit (9, 9?) connected in parallel to the supercapacitor (3), wherein at least one bypass circuit (9, 9?) comprises at least two bypass transistors (17) operating as switching elements, connected in parallel to the supercapacitor (3) and a transverse regulator (27) connected in parallel to the supercapacitor (3), where the switching threshold of transverse regulator (27) defines the switching point for the two or more bypass transistors (17) connected in parallel.

  • Patent number: 8175998
    Abstract: A method for valuating an object is disclosed, which includes an expert system that determines a value for a rule from the features of the object, weights the value with a weight from [0, 1] and valuates the object based on the value with a rule editor for defining rules for the valuation with one respective weight from [0, 1]; a rule module for determining a value per rule from the features and a valuation module are also disclosed for valuating the object based on the values, wherein the valuation module weights each value determined for a rule with the weight associated with the rule; and in a simplified manner, the expert system determines temporal progressions of the weight in an evolutionary algorithm, commencing with a start value, and selects a limit of the weight as a new weight, when the weight is converging, and the evolution module determines temporal progressions of at least one weight in an evolutionary algorithm selecting a new weight based on a converging behavior of the characteristics.
