  • Publication number: 20150221993
    Abstract: A master-slave type battery management system for accurate capacity gauge of battery packs is disclosed. It includes several battery management units linked to each other via a communication line. Each battery management unit is linked to a specified rechargeable battery set to manage the specified rechargeable battery set, detect a physical measurement data from the specified rechargeable battery set and calculates battery set capacity related value based on the physical measurement data. Each battery management unit has a unique battery ID. By assigning a battery management unit having a specified battery ID as a master battery management unit, the rest battery management units become slave battery management units. Each slave battery management unit sends the physical measurement data and battery set capacity related value to the master battery management unit via the communication line. The master battery management unit is in charge of calculating related values and transmitting them.

  • Publication number: 20150202455
    Abstract: In a flexible LED pad for use in phototherapy treatment of humans or animals, the PCBs in the pad are securely linked together with electrical connectors and ribbon cables to prevent the connections from being broken as the flexible pad is bent or otherwise deformed during the treatment. In one embodiment, low-profile socket connectors are mounted to the PCBs and mate with plug connectors at the ends of the ribbon cables. For similar reasons, the LED pad may be connected to an LED control unit by means of an electrical connector (e.g. a USB socket) mounted to a PCB in the LED pad. The PCBs, on which the LEDs are mounted, are fitted into a downset in the flexible pad to prevent the LEDs from becoming misaligned with openings in the flexible pad.
