  • Publication number: 20230266398
    Abstract: Voltage measurement techniques for battery cells in a battery management system (BMS) are described. Raw voltage measurements may include errors caused by ohmic losses due to cable impedances and other elements in the BMS. The techniques include performing a calibration cycle to generate correction values based on measured response with discharge switches in different states. The techniques also include scaling the correction values during runtime to correct for filter response errors in the voltage measurement.

  • Publication number: 20180058700
    Abstract: A top cooking appliance is provided having a cooktop with a surface heating unit and a thermally-responsive control device that can include a temperature-sensing thermal switch for controlling the operation of the surface heating unit. When the thermal switch senses that the cooking temperature exceeds a first, predetermined upper threshold temperature, the device can cause an interruption in the operation of the surface heating unit. The thermally-responsive control device can then restore the operation of the surface heating unit when the thermal switch senses that the cooking temperature falls below a second predetermined, lower threshold temperature. The thermally-responsive control device for cooktop burners of the present disclosure can be incorporated in both electric and gas-operated top cooking appliances.

  • Publication number: 20060119471
    Abstract: A product information system comprises a product package, container or support having an RFID tag including data memory means for storing at least a unique digital identification code for the product and at least one remote storage access code, including a URL, for accessing additional dynamic and/or static data associated with the product which is stored outside the tag and container, the system being operative to retrieve the identification code and remote access code and to access the additional data via the Internet.

  • Patent number: 6629317
    Abstract: A method providing for programming reprogramming at least some software into flash memory of a postage machine or other mailing apparatus. The method calls for providing the software to be programmed into the flash memory in at least two builds, with one build providing kernel software that includes the functionality needed for programming/reprogramming (including functionality for linking to a personal computer by which the software to be programmed may be provided), and the other build providing non-kernel software, usually routines providing application-oriented functionality, and not essential to programming the flash memory. The first build, of the at least two builds, is written into sectors of the flash memory that are then locked. The system provides, in some applications, for writing the non-kernel software using a paging algorithm that writes several sectors worth of non-kernel software at a time.
