  • Patent number: 10461545
    Abstract: In a battery system that connects a plurality of types of batteries through a switch SW, when the switch SW is switched at a voltage (charge rate), it has been possible to increase a stored charge during charging, depending on the DC resistance of the battery. An object of the present invention is to provide switch SW switching control so that the stored charge can further be increased. A first feature of the present invention is to provide a battery system in which a first battery and a second battery are connected in parallel through the switch SW, including an estimator which estimates the charging current by measuring the resistance and OCV of each battery. The battery system can further increase the stored charge by switching to a switch SW combination that can increase the stored charge.

  • Publication number: 20180109648
    Abstract: A message execution server executes a process based on a message, which is registered in a queue by a message registration server. The message execution server acquires a message from the queue, executes the process based on the acquired message, and registers, to the queue, a message of a remained process based on the message which is interrupted when a predetermined period of time passes after the process based on the acquired message is executed. To the registered message, a delay time, which indicates a period of time to make the registered message unavailable from the queue, is set.

  • Publication number: 20170311151
    Abstract: A Home Subscriber Server (HSS) determines whether roaming of voice communication via an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is supported in the Visited Public Land Mobile Network (VPLMN) or not, and transmits to a mobility management entity (MME) a signal that includes a ‘voice supported’ or ‘voice not supported’ indicator that indicates whether the roaming is supported or not. The MME receives the indicator from the HSS, and transmits to a User Equipment (UE) an ‘Attach Accept’ as a response to an ‘Attach Request’ for the VPLMN. The MME then transmits to the UE, based on the indicator received from the HSS, the ‘Attach Accept’ that includes an indicator that indicates whether the roaming is supported or not.
