  • Patent number: 12113183
    Abstract: The presented invention relates to a method for operating an electrical energy store, the ageing behaviour of which is estimated by means of an expected ageing profile, wherein a rapid-charging profile, which is to be used, of the electrical energy store is ascertained depending on a comparison between a detected state of ageing of the electrical energy store and a desired state of ageing, which is determined by means of the expected ageing profile, of the electrical energy store.

  • Patent number: 12093274
    Abstract: Systems and methods include presentation of a subset of a result set of items received from a remote system, reception of a command to perform an operation on all items of the result set while presenting the subset, and determination, in response to the command, of whether a total number of items in the result set exceeds a threshold value. If it is determined that the total number of items in the result set exceeds the threshold value, a first request is transmitted to the remote system to perform the operation on all items of the result set, where the first request includes filter values associated with the result set. If it is determined that the total number of items in the result set does not exceed the threshold value, a second request is transmitted to the remote system to perform the operation on all items of the result set, where the second request includes an identifier of each item of the result set.
