  • Publication number: 20240109447
    Abstract: An integrated portable extremely fast charger (XFC) may be installed for heavy-duty off-road vehicles, such as tractors and combine harvesters. The XFC shortens the charging period of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) by providing >500 kW in a single charger. The proposed XFC integrates a solar farm and local energy storage system (ESS) such that the local grid only needs to provide the power gap between the vehicle battery and the local ESS during charging events, yielding a low-cost XFC installation and higher renewable energy penetration. Two design approaches for the XFC, conductive and wireless, are based on multiphase interleaved dc-dc converter circuit, permitting flexible access to electricity. Smart fault protection mechanism is also proposed to achieve high safety during charging events. The hexagonal prism charger may be integrated into the power electronic devices with a transformer, yielding a high compactness and power density.

  • Patent number: 11924116
    Abstract: If a resource of a PCI device needs to be designated and allocated with a fixed address range and a designated and allocated address is not within a preset address interval range, a resource address of the PCI device is merely allocated according to the designated and allocated address thereof; and when resource address information of a parent device PCI bridge of the PCI device is calculated, the resource address information of the parent device PCI bridge of the PCI device is calculated merely according to another child device, other than this PCI child device, of the parent device PCI bridge, rather than taking the designated and allocated fixed address range of the PCI device into consideration, so as to prevent a length error of a resource allocation address of the parent device PCI bridge resulting in a serious system error.
