  • Patent number: 11404905
    Abstract: This matrix-like power/communications system is a decentralized array of scalable self-configuring modular electrical components that are easily physically and electrically replaceable and combinable into any series, parallel or bypassed state with any power supply and bi-directional data communications input; resulting in an autonomous system survivable in the harshest environments including physical shock, vibration, vacuum, radiation, thermal, and electromagnetic interference; and provides a communication interface for external control or monitoring, simultaneously being capable of reconfiguring itself if an internal battery cell failure occurs by switching in a spare cell(s) to replace a dead cell within the system for maintaining uninterrupted power and communications during the upset event, while being capable of reconfiguring itself autonomously into an arrangement of series/parallel states for charge/discharge while enabling cell balancing and continual monitoring of all individual cell parameters, an
