  • Publication number: 20130158917
    Abstract: A battery abnormality prediction system includes a normal range determination unit which acquires parameter values representing the states of a plurality of unit cells (11a to 11-n (where n is a natural number equal to or greater than 2)) and determines whether or not the acquired parameter values are normal values, a statistical processing unit which sorts a plurality of parameter values determined to be normal values into ranges divided at predetermined intervals and performs statistical processing on the sorted parameter values, and a state determination unit which determines the states of the plurality of unit cells based on the result of the statistical processing in the statistical processing unit and determines whether or not the plurality of unit cells are in a state of being able to transit from a normal state to an abnormal state based on the determination result.

  • Patent number: 5357175
    Abstract: A deflection and high voltage circuit produces a proper luminance level and a focusing performance in a CRT image irrespectively of changes in a luminance signal level. The circuit is provided with a voltage control circuit for controlling an output voltage level of a voltage supply circuit according to changes in the anode voltage of the CRT so that a voltage obtained by rectifying a voltage generated by the secondary winding of flyback transformer, i.e., the anode voltage of the CRT is made constant. Furthermore, the circuit is provided with a correction circuit for preventing a voltage across the terminals of a S-curve correction capacitor determining the H-size of the CRT image from being affected by the variation of the output voltage level of the voltage supply circuit.
