Abstract: A battery management system comprising: a synchronisation element comprising an oscillator wherein the synchronisation element is configured to generate a reference clock signal based on an output of the oscillator; and a plurality of measurement devices wherein each measurement device is configured to measure an electrical property of one or more battery cells and comprises a local oscillator configured to generate an individual clock signal; and wherein the plurality of measurement devices are connected in a communication network with the synchronisation element, and wherein: the synchronisation element is configured to send, by the communication network, time reference signals to the plurality of measurement devices based on the reference clock signal; each measurement device is configured to compare each time reference signal to its individual clock signal and, based on any detected difference, adjust its local oscillator to synchronize the individual clock signal with the reference clock signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus, system and method for controlling a charge of a battery pack having a plurality of battery modules connected in series, each battery module including at least one battery cell, such that a constant average discharge current can be enabled.

Abstract: For activating or deactivating the comb filter function with pixel precision, a comb filter arrangement including a delay circuit (3) and a first matching circuit (1) having at least two storage cells, these circuits receive a picture signal, having a sequence of individual pixels applied to the comb filter arrangement. The output signals of the delay circuit and the first matching circuit are superposed by a superposition stage (4) supplying a filtered picture signal from its output. The matching circuit (1) is implemented in such a way that it gives the picture signal applied thereto substantially the same amplitude variations as the delay circuit (3), and that the difference between the delay of the output signals from the delay circuit (3) and the matching circuit (1) corresponds to a nominal value.
