Publication number: 20250242705Abstract: A dual dynamic wireless charging system for battery-dominant vehicles is provided, including for example battery electric vehicles (BEVs), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), and hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs). The dynamic wireless charging system includes a transmitter coil installed on a transmitter vehicle, the transmitter coil being inductively coupled to a receiver coil installed on a receiver vehicle. Power transfer is achieved wirelessly while both vehicles are in motion, such that the receiver vehicle does not come off-mission. The transmitter vehicle and the receiver vehicle can travel in a side-by-side configuration, being parallel to each other in adjacent lanes. In other embodiments, a lead-and-follow configuration is used in place of a side-by-side configuration. Vehicle-to-vehicle communications ensure rapid adjustments to speed and trajectory, allowing seamless alignment despite variations in roadway conditions and traffic.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2025Publication date: July 31, 2025Inventors: Vivek Anand Sujan, Burak Ozpineci, Omer Caglar Onar, David E.

Publication number: 20250147765Abstract: A method of branch prediction includes determining that a processor is to execute at least a portion of a first set of instructions. An address associated with a sequentially first instruction of the first set of instruction is determined, and a branch prediction index is determined based on the address and a branch history. A table is queried based on the branch prediction index to determine a predicted exit point of the first set of instructions. The processor fetches a subset of the first set of instructions based on the predicted exit point.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Kai Chirca, Timothy D.

Publication number: 20210203176Abstract: A power control system enables an electrical apparatus to intermittently operate at power levels which exceed an available facility power. The power control system draws a sufficiently high current from a power source (e.g., mains supply) to supply power to components of the apparatus that generate a continuous below-threshold load, while at the same time, supplying a charge current for a battery module. The power control system can operate to use the battery module to supply power to components of the apparatus that draw excess power when the electrical apparatus operates at an above-threshold power level.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2017Publication date: July 1, 2021Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Arthur H.
