  • Patent number: 9239363
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed that includes a resistance measuring unit operable to determine a solution resistance Rsol and a charge transfer resistance Rct of a battery; and at least one computer-readable non-transitory storage medium comprising code, that, when executed by at least one processor, is operable to provide an estimate of the present value of the battery by: comparing Rsol and Rct to historical deterioration transition information; estimating the number of remaining charge cycles before a discharge capacity lower limit is reached by the battery using the comparison; and estimating the number of remaining charge cycles before a discharge time lower limit is reached by the battery using the comparison. The estimate of the present value of the battery includes the smaller of the number of remaining charge cycles before a discharge capacity lower limit is reached or the number of remaining charge cycles before a discharge time lower limit is reached.

  • Patent number: 7017147
    Abstract: A computer readable medium having computer readable program code means embodied therein, the computer program code means comprising a code that presents a user with architecture information in which framework candidates are hierarchically classified according to properties, and accepts a designation of a framework, of the candidates, which are to be included in a system as a development target from the user, a code that supports the user to determine a reference model representing a general structure of the system, a code that supports the user to extract an object to be included in the system, in accordance with the reference model determined by the user, and a code that supports the user to develop the system, on the basis of the framework designated by the user and the object extracted by the user.

  • Patent number: 6968534
    Abstract: A monitoring system is constructed using a framework 1 described by an object-oriented language. The framework 1 includes a model part 10 for holding data relating to an external apparatus serving as an object to be monitored, a view part 20 provided between the monitoring system and a user, a proxy part 40 for exchanging data between the monitoring system and the external apparatus in accordance with a predetermined protocol, and a controller part 30. The controller part 30 controls data of the model part 10, and connects the model part 10 with the view part 20 to provide various services for the external apparatus on the basis of data which are given from the user or the external apparatus. The proxy part 40 converts communication data into a format of internal data which is handled in the monitoring system.
