  • Patent number: 10274546
    Abstract: In a battery degradation monitoring system provided with a battery monitoring unit including a temperature sensor for detecting the ambient temperature of a battery mounted on a vehicle and a clock function unit to compute the state of charge and the degradation rate of the battery as a whole by inputting the voltages and temperatures of a plurality of battery modules of the battery from cell monitoring units when an ignition switch of the vehicle is on, the battery monitoring unit is further actuated by the clock function unit each time a predetermined period of time elapses when the ignition switch of the vehicle is off to integrate a degradation function formula with respect to the ambient temperature detected by the temperature sensor and compute the degradation rate of the battery when the ignition switch is off.

  • Publication number: 20040214895
    Abstract: Herein is disclosed an aqueous stable lysine solution containing an acid radical in such amount that the solubility of lysine therein has been increased than in the corresponding aqueous lysine base solution, whereby during storage of lysine in the form of a free-lysine solution (liquid composition), the precipitation of lysine base crystals due to the drop in temperature is prevented thereby improving the handling thereof during transportation (transfer) etc.
