  • Publication number: 20240075318
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for carrying out dose delivery quality assurance for high-precision radiation treatment, in which parameters affecting a pass rate of dose delivery quality assurance can be derived through regression analysis, which is a known statistical analysis method, and a pass rate prediction model capable of predicting each parameter and the pass rate of dose delivery quality assurance can be derived, and accordingly, it can be predicted in advance whether dose delivery quality assurance will be passed according to the parameters through the above prediction model, without repeatedly carrying out dose delivery quality assurance according to a patient's treatment plan, and as a result, the efficiency of dose delivery quality assurance can be enhanced, and the time or capacity required for such quality assurance is reduced, such that radiation treatment for an actual patient can be quickly and precisely carried out.

  • Patent number: 11480622
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for diagnosing battery replacement for vehicles may accurately diagnose whether a battery has been replaced using an internal resistance of the battery. The apparatus includes a measurer for measuring the internal resistance of the battery, a storage for storing the measured internal resistance, and a controller for diagnosing whether the battery has been replaced based on the internal resistance. The controller, when vehicle power is reset, controls the measurer to measure a first or second internal resistance after starting a vehicle, updates and stores the measured first or second internal resistance in the storage, compares a current first internal resistance value with a former first internal resistance value or a current second internal resistance value with a former second internal resistance value, and diagnoses that the battery has been replaced when the corresponding values differ from each other.

  • Patent number: 11378626
    Abstract: A system for managing a battery of a vehicle includes a first controller configured to control a power-on (IG ON) state and a power-off (IG OFF) state of a plurality of controllers in the vehicle and to be periodically woken up in the power-off (IG OFF) state to wake up at least some of the plurality of controllers, and a second controller configured to turn off a main relay connecting a first battery in the vehicle and a vehicle system when the power-off (IG OFF) state begins, to monitor a state of the first battery storing energy for generating power of the vehicle by maintaining power during a preset first reference time, to be woken up at a wake-up period of the first controller when the first reference time elapses, and to monitor the state of the first battery.

  • Patent number: 10892627
    Abstract: A learning algorithm for controlling a battery voltage, which reduces an error of the battery voltage by using a power generation voltage of an alternator while a vehicle is driven includes steps of: calculating, by a processor, a first error voltage indicating a difference between the power generation voltage of the alternator and the battery voltage after the vehicle has been assembled; calculating, by the processor, a second error voltage indicated by updating the difference between the power generation voltage of the alternator and the battery voltage according to an output amount of the alternator and a driving time; and calculating, by the processor, a line-to-line voltage between the alternator and the battery by adding the first error voltage and the second error voltage. This learning algorithm is advantageous since there is no side effect in voltage control such as open-loop control and there is a low voltage control error.

  • Patent number: 10576841
    Abstract: A battery management method can be used for a vehicle. The method includes determining whether battery refresh proceeds and determining whether battery aging proceeds based on a time period in which the battery refresh proceeds, a battery state of charge, and a battery current during the battery refresh. Battery discharge is controlled based on determining that the battery aging proceeds. Charging is controlled according to a battery refresh map in order to restore the battery.
