  • Publication number: 20190281411
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose an interaction information obtaining method performed at a target user terminal. After detecting, on a virtual map preset in an interaction application, a trigger operation performed on a target POI identifier, the target user terminal obtains first location information of the target user terminal by using the virtual map and second location information corresponding to the target POI identifier on the virtual map. The target user terminal detects a distance difference between the first location information and the second location information. When the distance difference satisfies a preset distance range, the target user terminal sends, to an interaction server, an interaction information request carrying the target POI identifier and receives interaction information corresponding to the target POI identifier from the interaction server and then displays the interaction information on the virtual map.

  • Patent number: 10408880
    Abstract: More accurate and robust battery state estimation (BSE) techniques for a battery system of an electrified vehicle include estimating a current bias or offset generated by a current sensor and then adjusting the measured current to compensate for the estimated current bias. The techniques obtain nominal parameters for a battery model of the battery system based on a measured temperature and an estimated open circuit voltage (OCV). The techniques use these nominal parameters and the corrected measured current to estimate the OCV, a capacity, and an impedance of the battery system. The techniques utilize the OCV to estimate a state of charge (SOC) of the battery system. The techniques also estimate a state of health (SOH) of the battery system based on its estimated capacity and impedance. The techniques then control the electrified vehicle based on the SOC and/or the SOH.

  • Patent number: 10409012
    Abstract: Back scattering in an optical waveguide at an operating wavelength is controlled by adjusting an optical phase of light propagating in the waveguide at one or more locations along the waveguide. A portion of the back scattered light is tapped off near an input port and coupled into a photodetector. A controller detects changes in the photodetector signal and adjusts an optical phase tuner configured to control the optical phase of light in the waveguide at the selected location or locations. The optical phase tuner may be configured to vary the refractive index of at least a portion of the waveguide.
