Patent number: 12079051Abstract: Techniques are provided for operating a computing system in a peak power mode while avoiding increased degradation of a battery. The peak power mode include cycles with peak and off-peak currents. The amplitude and duration of the peak and off-peak currents are governed by a thermal/heat budget of the battery. A processor can read the battery information during usage and calculate one or more parameters which are derived from heat. If a parameter is smaller than a reference value, the processor can update the peak power parameters to provide an increase in peak current/power and/or duration. If a parameter is larger than the reference value, no heat budget is available to provide an increase in peak current/power and/or duration. The thermal/heat budget can be enforced over each cycle of the peak power mode or in a summation over multiple cycles.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2022Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Naoki Matsumura, Tod F. Schiff, Brian Fritz, Chee Lim Nge, Jorge Rodriguez

A battery module system includes battery cells on a top side and a bottom side of the battery module. Each battery cell is electrically coupled between an adjacent pair of busbars. Each busbar is coupled to at least one sensor wire. One busbar, which spans the top and bottom sides of the battery module, is coupled to two sensor wires such that EMI interference affecting measurement signals (e.g., noise signals accompanying voltage readings) associated with the top side of the battery module are in-phase with one another and the measurement signals associated with the bottom side of the battery module are in-phase with one another, such that the EMI interference generally cancels in measurement calculations.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2019Date of Patent: June 25, 2024Assignee: Rivian IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Justin Rodenburg, Jorge Rodriguez

Publication number: 20230275308Abstract: An interconnect is disclosed that opens a battery circuit when an access cover is removed. The interconnect includes a single installed position, and does not include any throw positions to avoid ambiguity. The interconnect includes a conductive element that closes the battery circuit when the interconnect is installed. The access cover cannot be removed when the interconnect is installed, because the interconnect includes at least one mechanical feature that prevents removal of the access cover. In some instances, the interconnect is integrated into the access cover, such that when the cover is removed, the circuit is opened necessarily during removal. The interconnect interface may include blades, pins, or other electrically conducting elements. The interconnect is arranged in the battery system away from power electronics and other components that may interface to an electrical load, thus providing an added measure of safety when the access cover is off.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Jorge Rodriguez, Tyler Collins, Kyle Butterfield, Nathaniel C.
