Abstract: A charge control system includes a memory and a processing unit. The memory integrates a power consumption of the electronic device, a sleep signal, a boot signal, a hibernate signal or a shutdown signal received by the electronic device, a charge status of the charger, and a remaining power of the battery at the previous time point, as previous usage information. The processing unit creates an estimation model based on the previous usage information and an algorithm, to estimate an estimated power consumption of the electronic device, the estimated power of the battery and the charge probability of the charger corresponding to the current time point, the processing unit determines a target voltage based on the estimated power consumption, the estimated power, and the charge probability, the processing unit controls the charger to charge the battery, based on a current voltage and a target voltage.

Abstract: An apparatus and related methods for capturing a digital foot print image of a tire and for extrapolating load-deflection curves of the tire is presented. A frame carries a test pod that is coupled to a tire to perform various tests. In one application, a loading plate couples the tire to a transparent plate on the test pod where a camera captures a digital gray-scale image of the tire foot print. A processor converts the gray-scale image into a pressure map wherein each pixel of the digital image is correlated to a pressure value. In another application, the loading plate couples the tire to a sliding cover plate on the test pod, wherein the loading plate is incremented through a plurality of load values at predetermined inflation pressures. By using two inflation pressures, the processor extrapolates further load-deflection curves for the tire at other inflation pressures. The apparatus also provides a unique way for imparting camber on the tire during the above tests.
