BATTERY CLASSIFIER PARTITIONING AND FUSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18179630 titled 'BATTERY CLASSIFIER PARTITIONING AND FUSION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for predicting the health of a battery based on battery data obtained from a sensor and processed by a processor. The data is partitioned into subsets, each with different scores related to the battery's health, and an overall score is generated to predict the battery's health.

  • Sensor collects battery data
  • Processor partitions data into subsets
  • Scores determined for each subset
  • Overall score generated to predict battery health

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries where batteries are used, such as:

  • Electric vehicles
  • Consumer electronics
  • Renewable energy storage systems

Problems Solved

This innovation addresses the following issues:

  • Predicting battery health accurately
  • Preventing unexpected battery failures
  • Optimizing battery performance and lifespan

Benefits

The system and method offer the following benefits:

  • Early detection of battery issues
  • Improved maintenance planning
  • Enhanced overall battery performance

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be commercially utilized in:

  • Battery manufacturing companies
  • Automotive industry
  • Energy storage providers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be battery management systems that monitor battery health but may not use the same partitioning and scoring method for prediction.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle different types of batteries with varying characteristics?

The patent application does not specify how the system adapts to different battery types and their unique parameters.

What is the accuracy rate of the system in predicting battery health?

The application does not provide information on the accuracy or reliability of the predictions made by the system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system and method for predicting a health of a battery. The system includes a sensor and a processor. The sensor is configured to obtain a battery data indicative of a parameter of the battery. A plurality of scores for the battery data is determined, and the battery data is partitioned into a plurality of subsets for which the scores have a different behavior for each of the subsets. The processor partitions the battery data into a plurality of subsets, determines a score for each of the plurality of subsets, wherein each score is related to the health of the battery, generates an overall score from the scores from each of the subsets, and predicts the health of the battery from the overall score.
