  • Patent number: 11897364
    Abstract: The present solution provides calibration for a battery model of an electric vehicle battery. One or more processors of an electric vehicle coupled with memory can identify, for the electric vehicle, a model configured to determine performance of a battery of the electric vehicle based on a function. The function can generate values for a parameter of the model across a range of states of charges and a range of temperatures. The one or more processors can generate, based on input from a sensor of the electric vehicle, a value of performance of the electric vehicle via the model. The one or more processors can provide an action for the electric vehicle based on the value of the performance.

  • Patent number: 11780348
    Abstract: The present solution is directed to control of maximum current for regenerative charging of an EV battery. A battery management system (BMS) can facilitate, responsive to a first action by an actuator, a discharge of an EV battery. The BMS can identify, responsive to a second action by the actuator, a discharge capacity of the battery corresponding to the discharge associated with the first action. The BMS can determine, responsive to the second action, a temperature measurement and a state of charge measurement of the battery and determine, based on the temperature measurement, the state of charge measurement and the discharge capacity, a derate factor that can be used to modify a current level supplied to the battery during charging of the battery from energy generated responsive to the second action. The BMS can cause the battery to be charged according to the modified current level and the generated energy.

  • Publication number: 20110014724
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of detecting bioproducts using Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) of gold nanoparticles, which can diagnose bioproducts based on changes in the maximum wavelength occurred by an antigen-antibody reaction after immobilization of the gold nanoparticles onto a glass panel. A sensor using such method exhibits high sensitivity, is low in price, and makes quick diagnosis possible, thereby being applicable to various biological fields associated with environmental contaminants, pathogens and the like, as well as diagnosis of diseases. Further, it provides a technology for manufacturing a sensor having higher sensitivity, low price and quick performance, as compared to conventional methods using SPR.

  • Publication number: 20060038835
    Abstract: A method is described for determining a discrete boundary for an object to be rendered into a raster pixel image having a plurality of scanlines. In the method, the object is rotated by an integer multiple of 90 degrees, and an outline of the rotated object is decomposed into line segments. For each scanline to be rendered, points of intersection between the line segments and the scanline are determined, and each point of intersection is rounded to an adjacent position selected from a finite set of positions on the scanline using a rule chosen according to the amount of rotation. The rounded points of intersection delimiting the discrete boundary. If the object is rotated by odd multiple of 90 degrees the method includes the steps of identifying points of intersection that satisfy a predetermined criterion; and shifting the identified points of intersection prior to rounding.

  • Publication number: 20050116955
    Abstract: A method (2500) of converting a monotonic curve into edge information is disclosed. A method (2800A) of determining an integer edge crossing value, Xi, for a new edge crossed by a scanline (i.e., an inactive edge being crossed by the scanline for the first time) is also disclosed. Further, a method (2800B) of determining an integer edge crossing value, Xi, for an active edge crossed by a scanline, is also disclosed. The disclosed methods have general application in the representation of monotonic curves. The described methods allow monotonic curves to be accurately represented in terms of edges where the original curve can be reconstructed from the edges. Furthermore, the methods allow edge tracking to be performed such that any resulting error is restricted to a fixed-point division error. At transition points between adjoining segments, an original edge crossing point may be determined to avoid accumulated error.
