  • Patent number: 11675020
    Abstract: A battery degradation evaluation system includes a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to acquire state quantities of a battery mounted at a vehicle, derive probabilities, and evaluate degradation of the battery based on the derivation results. The probabilities are a short-term degradation probability of the battery degrading in a pre-specified short period, a medium-term degradation probability of the battery degrading in a period that is longer than the short period, and a long-term degradation probability of the battery degrading in a period that is longer than the medium period. When a number of the state quantities is smaller, the processor sets a higher weighting for a combined degradation probability for the short period and medium period, which is calculated from the long-term degradation probability. When the number of state quantities is larger, the processor sets a higher weighting for the short-term degradation probability.

  • Patent number: 11669716
    Abstract: A process for training and sharing generic functional modules across multiple diverse (architecture, task) pairs for solving multiple diverse problems is described. The process is based on decomposing the general multi-task learning problem into several fine-grained and equally-sized subproblems, or pseudo-tasks. Training a set of (architecture, task) pairs then corresponds to solving a set of related pseudo-tasks, whose relationships can be exploited by shared functional modules. An efficient search algorithm is introduced for optimizing the mapping between pseudo-tasks and the modules that solve them, while simultaneously training the modules themselves.
