  • Patent number: 11960618
    Abstract: A computer implemented method searches data. A number of processor units generates a candidate search result using an index for a data source in response to a search query by a user, wherein the candidate search result comprises files accessible by the user based on access control information in the index. The number of processor units generates a completed search result with a set of the files from the candidate search result having a confidentiality level less than or equal to a threshold confidentiality level. The number of processor units determines whether the user has access to a file in the candidate search result in which the file has the confidentiality level greater than the threshold confidentiality level for the data source. The number of processor units adds the file to the completed search result in response to the file being accessible by the user in the data source.

  • Patent number: 10481212
    Abstract: A secondary battery status estimation device includes a sensor unit configured to detect a terminal voltage of a secondary battery, and an internal resistance calculator configured to calculate a direct current internal resistance of the secondary battery based on the terminal voltage and the charge-discharge current detected by the sensor unit. The internal resistance calculator calculates a direct current internal resistance based on the terminal voltage and the charge-discharge current detected by the sensor unit, in a stable period that is before starting a driving source for driving a vehicle and in which the terminal voltage and the charge-discharge current of the secondary battery fall within a predetermined fluctuation range, and in a high-current output period in which electric power for starting the driving source is output from the secondary battery and the terminal voltage of the secondary battery is brought to substantially minimum.

  • Patent number: 10377239
    Abstract: A sensor of a status determination device detects a magnitude of a terminal voltage of an auxiliary battery provided separately from a driving battery and a magnitude of a current flowing through the auxiliary battery. The driving battery is an electrical power source for a driving motor of a vehicle, and the auxiliary battery is an electrical power source for auxiliary equipment and has an output voltage lower than that of the driving battery. An internal resistance calculator calculates an internal resistance of the auxiliary battery based on the magnitude of the terminal voltage and the magnitude of the current detected by the sensor in a stable period that is before the auxiliary equipment is started and in which the magnitude of the terminal voltage and the magnitude of the current fall within predetermined fluctuation ranges, and those detected in a period after starting of the auxiliary equipment is detected.
