Abstract: The invention relates to a method for locally determining at least one characteristic value of a battery cell, wherein time series of voltages and time or another measure of a state-of-health indicator of a cell are supplied to a further neural network, wherein the further neural network is a network designed for sequence-to-sequence deep learning, and for obtaining a second indicator from the further neural network, wherein the second indicator is a further measure for the expected degradation of the cell. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A method of locating a microphone, a device of locating a microphone and a system of locating a microphone. The method includes: determining an initial position of the microphone located in front of a light outgoing surface of a display screen; determining a target position of the microphone; determining a first displacement of the microphone in a direction perpendicular to the light outgoing surface of the display screen based on the target position and the initial position; determining a second displacement of the microphone in a direction parallel with the light outgoing surface of the display screen based on the target position and the initial position; and controlling the microphone to move to the target position based on the first displacement and the second displacement.

Abstract: A double-sided LCC compensation network and a tuning method are proposed for a wireless power transfer system. With the proposed topology, the resonant frequency is independent of coupling coefficient and load conditions. The parameter values are tuned to realize zero voltage switching (ZVS) for the sending side switches. A wireless charging system with up to 7.7 kW output power was designed and built using the proposed topology and achieved 96% efficiency from DC power source to battery load.

Abstract: A wireless power transmission system is provided for high power applications. The power transmission system is comprised generally of a charging unit configured to generate an alternating electromagnetic field and a receive unit configured to receive the alternating electromagnetic field from the charging unit. The charging unit includes a power source; an input rectifier; an inverter; and a transmit coil. The transmit coil has a spirangle arrangement segmented into n coil segments with capacitors interconnecting adjacent coil segments. The receive unit includes a receive coil and an output rectifier. The receive coil also has a spirangle arrangement segmented into m coil segments with capacitors interconnecting adjacent coil segments.

Abstract: A multi-section mold and method for molding a foam article. Micro-groove vents are formed in the parting line to expel gases from the mold cavity. Flashing that solidifies in the micro-groove vents takes the form of fringe-like elements. The roof of the mold cavity can be provided with similar micro-groove graining patterns to disrupt the accumulation of gas bubbles and minimize defects in the final foam surface.
