Abstract: Various examples of the disclosure pertain to determining a set of calendar aging values of a test cell of a rechargeable battery, e.g., LIBs. The set of calendar aging values of the test cell of the rechargeable battery corresponds to a set of Temperature-State of Charge (T-SOC) value pairs. The set of calendar aging values of the test cell of the rechargeable battery is determined based on a battery-generic reference model for calendar aging of a (specific or random) battery cell and on a further set of calendar aging values of the test cell of the rechargeable battery. The further set of calendar aging values is obtained/derived from measurements of the test cell of the rechargeable battery and corresponds to a further set of T-SOC value pairs.

Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a control apparatus includes a first mounting member, an elongate member having a first elongate portion, a second elongate portion, a first axis member between the first elongate portion and the second elongate portion, pivotally mounting the elongate member to the first mounting member and defining a first axis, a track configured as an arc defined about the first axis, and a first feedback assembly supported upon the second elongate portion and providing a first interface device configured to travel along the track in response to movement of the second elongate portion partly about the first axis, wherein the mass of the second elongate portion and the first feedback assembly substantially offsets the mass of the first elongate portion about the first axis member.

Abstract: A system, system component and methodology support compliance with fund and advisor policies and procedures designed to prevent the violation of federal securities laws by determining an indication of whether a fund's value is potentially being affected by market timing practices. At least one algorithm is utilized to perform analysis of categories of fund transaction data to yield an indication of the presence of market timing practices.

Abstract: A system provides a plurality of functions associated with monitoring and reporting required by the SEC as well as data depository capabilities of use with those requirements. These functionalities and capabilities are provided in a web-based environment that is accessible by a user over a public and/or private network.
