Abstract: A charge/discharge test apparatus includes a temperature control box having a test chamber provided inside and provided with an opening communicated with the test chamber and configured for extraction or insertion of a battery, and a rack connected to the temperature control box. The rack and the opening are located at different sides of the temperature control box, and the rack has an accommodating cavity inside. The charge/discharge test apparatus further includes a charge/discharge module located in the accommodating cavity and configured to charge/discharge a battery in the corresponding test chamber.

Abstract: A gap inspection apparatus and a gap inspection method are disclosed. The gap inspection apparatus is configured for a wound battery cell, where in a height direction of the wound battery cell. The gap inspection apparatus includes: an X-ray source and an X-ray detector and a bearing mechanism located between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector. The bearing mechanism includes at least one accommodating groove, the accommodating groove is configured to accommodate the wound battery cell, and the height direction of the wound battery cell crosses a first direction in which the X-ray source points to the X-ray detector. The X-ray source is configured to irradiate an arc-shaped area of the wound body portion, and the X-ray detector is configured to obtain an imaging image of the irradiated arc-shaped area, so as to obtain a gap value between two electrode plates within the arc-shaped area.

Abstract: An inspection method includes obtaining an image of a corner region of the wound cell that includes an image of a cathode electrode plate at N layers of the corner region of the wound cell and an anode electrode plate at the N layers, and determining, based on the image of the corner region, amounts of misalignment between the cathode electrode plate and the anode electrode plate that are adjacent in the wound cell. N is a positive integer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to computerized systems and computerized methods configured to optimize data transmission paths in a large-scale computerized network relative to reliability and bandwidth requirements. Embodiments of the invention further relate to computerized systems and methods that direct and control the physical adjustments to data transmission paths in a large-scale network's composition of computerized data transmission nodes in order to limit data end-to-end transmission delay in a computerized network to a delay within a calculated worst-case delay bound.

Abstract: A computerized method of generating and transmitting a message to a plurality of recipient devices has the steps of obtaining a plurality of recipient multicast identifications (IDs) for the plurality of recipient devices, losslessly encoding the recipient multicast IDs into one or more codewords such that the total length of the one or more codewords is shorter than that of the recipient multicast IDs, generating the message by encapsulating at least the one or more codewords into a payload of the message, and transmitting the generated message to a network. When receiving such as message, a listener device decodes the one or more codewords to determine if it is a recipient.
