  • MATURATION PROCESSES FOR ELECTRIC BATTERIES
    Publication number: 20240248145
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a maturation process for at least one electric battery cell 32. The maturation process comprises charging the at least one electric battery cell 32 and subjecting the at least one electric battery cell to a maturation period of at least one day wherein no electrical load other than a measurement apparatus 30 is connected to the at least one electric battery cell. The maturation process also comprises taking at least one measurement of the open circuit voltage of the at least one electric battery cell 32 with the measurement apparatus 30 between the start and the end of the maturation period. The maturation process further comprises determining the integrity of the at least one electric battery cell in dependence on the at least one measurement.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING MULTIPLE VEHICLES TO INCREASE CONFIDENCE LEVEL
    Publication number: 20240217553
    Abstract: A method of controlling an autonomous vehicle, including: collecting perception data representing a perceived environment of the vehicle using a perception system on board the autonomous vehicle; comparing the perception data collected with digital map data; and modifying operation of the vehicle based on an amount of difference between the perception data and the digital map data.

  • Maturation processes for electric batteries cells
    Patent number: 11885829
    Abstract: A maturation process for an electric battery cell comprises charging the electric battery cell, subjecting the electric battery cell to a maturation period of at least one day while no electrical load other than a measurement apparatus is connected to the electric battery cell, and taking at least one measurement of the open circuit voltage of the electric battery cell during the maturation period using the measurement apparatus. The measurement apparatus is incorporated into a structure of the electric battery cell, forming an integral part of the electric battery cell. The maturation process further comprises determining whether electric battery cell is defective in dependence on the at least one measurement.
