  • BATTERY SYSTEM FOR OPERATING POINT CONTROL OF POWER SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20250167573
    Abstract: A DC power system includes a first interface to a DC source and a second interface coupled to the first interface and to a load. A battery control system (BCS) has an input/output interface coupled to the first interface and to the second interface, and a series arrangement of switched controllable units of one or more battery cells, each switchably bypassable according to a control signal. The BCS selectively sources and sinks power to variably control a voltage at the input/output interface utilizing the plurality of switched controllable units under control of a BCS processor that produces the control signal. The BCS sources power from the switched controllable units to supply power to the load in addition to, or in lieu of, the DC source, and regulates performance of an external circuit by dynamic variation of the voltage at the input/output interface according to the control signal.

  • METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING INNER AND OUTER TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS
    Publication number: 20250164601
    Abstract: A method for identifying inner and outer tire pressure sensors, which includes the following steps: Signal Reception Step, Signal Strength Summation Step, and Inner and Outer Wheel Identification Step. The vehicle main unit receiving the first inner wheel detection signal strength total value and the first outer wheel detection signal strength total value, and compares their magnitudes. The larger value indicates the inner wheel, while the smaller value indicates the outer wheel. The vehicle main unit identifies inner and outer wheels by having tire pressure sensors read and recognize the signal strength of tire pressure sensors in mirror-image positions. Compared to traditional methods, this approach can more accurately identify tire pressure sensors on inner and outer wheels.

  • Advanced load port for photolithography mask inspection tool
    Patent number: 12298664
    Abstract: A method and a system for inspecting an extreme ultra violet mask and a mask pod for such masks is provided. An EUV mask inspection tool inspects a mask retrieved from a mask pod placed on the load port positioned exterior of the mask inspection tool. The inspection process is performed during a selected period of time. After the inspection process is initiated, a robotic handling mechanism such as a robotic arm or an AMHS picks up the mask pod and inspects the mask pod for foreign particles. A mask pod inspection tool determines whether the mask pod needs cleaning or replacing based on a selected swap criteria. The mask pod is retrieved from the mask pod inspection tool and placed on the load port before the selected period of time lapses. This method and system promotes a reduction in the overall time required for inspecting the mask and the mask pod.
