  • Publication number: 20140122396
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods to optimize a rules engine as a platform within a computing system. The computing system may identify a context of interest, such as environment or circumstance of the computing system or a user of the computing system. Based on the identified context of interest, the rules engine platform may selectively identify rules or sets of rules that are relevant to the context of interest. Accordingly, rules or sets of rules that are irrelevant to the context of interest may be omitted from evaluation. Therefore, resources of the computing system may not consumed in some embodiments by resolving conflicts between rules and evaluating rules that result in actions that are not suitable for the context of interest.

  • Publication number: 20140012445
    Abstract: A temperature control method for an electrochemical energy storage device having a cooling device for cooling the storage device in a vehicle. An actual temperature value of the storage device is determined, and a desired temperature value of the storage device is set by a two-point control system, which activates the cooling device at an upper temperature limit of the storage device and deactivates the cooling device at a lower temperature limit. The upper temperature limit and/or the lower temperature limit are defined as a function of time during operation of the storage device or during activation of the cooling device. The upper temperature limit and/or the lower temperature limit are defined as a function of the energy storage device data and/or the vehicle operating data.
