Abstract: An apparatus and method for diagnosing a failure of a switch unit included in a multi battery pack. The magnitude of a pack current flowing from each of battery packs connected in parallel to a load is measured, a battery pack whose pack current has a magnitude smaller than the average value by a threshold value or more is identified, and it is determined that an open failure occurs at the switch unit included in the identified battery pack, and the information of the battery pack including the switch unit at which the open failure occurs is output. The internal resistance of each battery pack may be statistically analyzed in order to more accurately diagnose the failure at the switch unit. Thus, an open failure of switch units included in battery packs connected in parallel may be easily and reliably diagnosed in a statistical viewpoint.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a method for determining a stroke based on a voice analysis. According to the present invention, voice data of subjects are collected to extract and analyze voice onset times to determine stroke patients based on voices. The system for determining a stroke generates and collects voice data from test subjects reading a predetermined word that includes a plosive sound. The system for determining a stroke extracts and calculates voice onset times from the voice data to calculate probability parameters for the voice onset times of each of a normal group and a stroke patient group. The system for determining a stroke uses a set of probability parameters to determine an integration section, and calculates probabilities of being in the normal group and the stroke patient group. The system for determining a stroke applies the calculated probabilities to the Bayes theorem to determine whether the subjects are stroke patients.
