Abstract: A battery balancing system includes a voltage sensing unit, a characteristic voltage selector and a control unit. The voltage sensing unit senses a battery voltage of each of the batteries connected in series in a battery group and generates corresponding battery voltage sensing signals. The characteristic voltage selector generates a characteristic voltage according to the battery voltage sensing signals. The control unit compares the characteristic voltage with a threshold voltage in a balance operation mode, to adaptively adjust the threshold voltage, and compares the battery voltage sensing signal with the adjusted threshold voltage to generate a battery balancing command, thereby executing a charge removal balancing command or a charge supplying balancing command on the corresponding battery, or thereby cease executing the charge removal balancing command or cease executing the charge supplying balancing command on the corresponding battery.

Abstract: A method for forming a thermoelectric film having a micro groove includes the following steps: A) forming a plurality of parallel sacrificing wires by electrospinning, a diameter of each sacrificing wire being 100-500 nm; B) coating a thermoelectric film having a thickness of 80-200 nm on a part of a surface of each sacrificing wire; and C) removing the sacrificing wires from the thermoelectric films and thus obtaining the thermoelectric films each having the micro groove, a radio side of each thermoelectric film being open to the surroundings. The thermoelectric films finally prepared can have higher size uniformity without the disadvantage of catalyst residual. Further, the thermoelectric films each have a size smaller than the mean free path of phonons in one dimension, and thus the thermoelectric properties of the thermoelectric films can be improved.

Abstract: The preparation method of electrolytes provided by the present invention involves applications of a first solid oxide powder and a second solid oxide powder, both of which are prepared by using a sol-gel process and a calcination process. Each of the first and second solid oxide powders is a Perovskite-type oxide. After the first and second solid oxide powders are readily mixed, they are compressed into a pellet and then sintered to prepare the afore-mentioned electrolytes for SOFC. It is found in the present invention that by mixing and compressing different solid oxide powders, the solid oxide powder having smaller particle size can fill into the gaps of the other solid oxide powder. After the pellet is sintered, the density of the product is significantly improved.

Abstract: A series-connected fuel cell assembly includes a plurality of electrode plates and a plurality of exchange membranes. Each of the exchange membranes is held between two of the electrode plates. The electrode plates include at least three outer electrode plates, each of which is provided with a connecting surface. The connecting surface of one of the outer electrode plates faces toward the connecting surfaces of two of the other outer electrode plates.

Abstract: A wireless configurable radio application. When a wireless device requests a wireless service, the carrier network identifies protocol versions required for the service. A protocol version list is then provided to the wireless device. The wireless device requests any protocol versions not currently resident in the wireless device. The carrier network provides such protocols and the wireless device implements the protocols.
