Patents by Inventor Cheng-Hung Cheng

Cheng-Hung Cheng has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20180145515
    Abstract: A smart charging method is provided. The smart charging method includes the following steps: A battery is charged under a constant charging current. Whether a measured voltage is higher than a predetermined voltage value is determined. If the measured voltage is higher than the predetermined voltage value, then the constant charging current is increased.

  • Patent number: 9620822
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for charging a battery. The method receives a plurality of battery parameters during the period of the battery charging, and the plurality of battery parameters are turned into fuzzification and corresponded to fuzzy rules to map out a fuzzy output. Then the fuzzy output is turned into defuzzification to obtain the value of the charging current. Therefore, the present disclosure can change the charging current adaptively to enhance the charging effect.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5744262
    Abstract: An organic electrolyte for use in a lithium secondary battery comprising a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent mixture is disclosed. The lithium salt can be LiClO.sub.4, LiPF.sub.6, LiBF.sub.4, LiCF.sub.3 SO.sub.3, LiAsF.sub.6, or other lithium salt, and the organic solvent mixture contains a carbonate and an acetate. The carbonate is ethylene carbonate, and the acetate can be either methyl acetate or ethyl acetate. The carbonate and the acetate are provided in a ratio of carbonate/acetate ranging from 80/20 to 20/80, or preferably from 40/60 to 60/40, and said lithium salt has a concentration of between 0.6 and 1.5M, or preferably at about 1M. The electrolyte exhibits excellent stability in a lithium secondary battery having a cathode which contains either LiCoO.sub.2 or LiMn.sub.2 O.sub.4, and can withstand charge/discharge voltages of at least as high as 5 V (vs. Li/Li.sup.+), with excellent service life.
