  • Publication number: 20160161566
    Abstract: A method and a system are provided for online estimating internal resistance of battery. The system includes: a high-voltage battery pack for providing high-voltage DC power, a voltage detection unit for detecting the total voltage of the high-voltage battery pack, a current detection unit for detecting the total current of the high-voltage battery pack, a secondary battery for providing low-voltage DC power, a DC/DC conversion unit for conversing the high voltage DC power to a low voltage DC power and transferring the latter to the secondary battery, a drive unit for driving the vehicle, an on-board charging unit for charging high-voltage battery pack, and a control unit. The control unit controls the system to measure information of a constant current and a corresponded voltage difference of the battery pack at the moment the constant current happened before and after, and then to calculate internal resistance of the battery pack.

  • Patent number: 9027679
    Abstract: A series-parallel coupling control method and system for a hybrid driver are suitable for a hybrid power vehicle. The hybrid driver is used to produce a driving force to drive a load. The hybrid driver includes a first power generation unit, a second power generation unit, and a main controller. The main controller selectively controls the system to drive the load in a series power coupling mode or a parallel power coupling mode. The main controller switches between the series coupling mode and the parallel coupling mode by using rotation speed compensation or torque/power compensation. Therefore, the driven load will not suffer from sudden thrust or jerk.

  • Patent number: 8049784
    Abstract: An anti-shake device for positioning an image-capturing unit in an optical instrument. A base includes a shaft pillar. A clamp unit includes a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm. The first and second clamping arms pivot to the shaft pillar of the base and detachably clamp the image-capturing unit. A drive unit is connected to the base and includes a driven member driving the first and second clamping arms of the clamp unit to rotate and shifting between a first mode and a second mode. The first and second clamping arms are separated from each other and the image-capturing unit when the driven member is in the first mode. The first and second clamping arms close and clamp the image-capturing unit when the driven member is in the second mode.

  • Publication number: 20100281457
    Abstract: A method and apparatus applies an action to a software application by determining a target object for the input action. The determination of the target object is performed by identifying the target object through socially identifying object information relative to a reference object. Then, the input action is applied to the target object.

  • Publication number: 20100256008
    Abstract: It has been discovered that enhancer signatures distinguish enhancer elements from other regulatory elements and that the characteristic enhancer signatures vary in a cell-type specific manner. These discoveries provide the basis for novel methods of predicting, diagnosing and monitoring of diseases, particularly cancer.

  • Patent number: 7575869
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of identifying a region (one or more) of a genome of a cell to which a protein of interest binds. In the methods described herein, DNA binding protein of a cell is linked (e.g., covalently crosslinked) to genomic DNA of a cell. The genomic DNA to which the DNA binding protein is linked is removed and combined or contacted with DNA comprising a sequence complementary to genomic DNA of the cell under conditions in which hybridization between the identified genomic DNA and the sequence complementary to genomic DNA occurs. Region(s) of hybridization are region(s) of the genome of the cell to which the protein of binds. A method of identifying a set of genes where cell cycle regulator binding correlates with gene expression and of identifying genomic targets of cell cycle transcription activators in living cells is also encompassed.
