Abstract: Disclosed herein are battery management systems (BMS) for controlling the operating state of a battery pack device, as well as methods for changing the operating state of a battery pack device. The battery pack may have multiple cells therein, each cell capable of generating multiple different voltages to allow more energy (voltage×current) to be quickly and efficiently put into the battery, thus optimizing battery charging (i.e., reducing battery charging times). These battery packs may change from operating in series, to operating in parallel, when desired, while utilizing affordable relays and more affordable electrical components. These battery packs may be comprised of any number of cells and can controlled and/or operated by the BMS, for optimal battery charging, or for optimal discharging, as desired. The BMS may be any type of control logic and/or software, operable to control and/or operate the battery packs.

Abstract: A system for detecting contamination includes: a conduit component defining a sampling space; a sensor disposed inside the sampling space, the sensor sampling a fluid within the sampling space to detect, as a sampled value, a trace component in the fluid; and a processor disposed inside the conduit component, the processor receiving the sampled value, and transmitting the sampled value outside the conduit component as a contamination indication of the conduit component.
