BATTERY MEASUREMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18399074 titled 'BATTERY MEASUREMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a battery measurement apparatus that controls the current flow to and from a rechargeable battery by switching between two alternating signals once a predetermined number of cycles is completed.
- The current controller sets a predetermined wavenumber for each of two alternating signals.
- It determines when the input or output of the predetermined wavenumber of cycles has completed.
- Once a cycle is completed, the controller switches to a new alternating signal with a different frequency.
- The input or output of the other alternating signal continues during this switch.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Precise control of current flow in rechargeable batteries.
- Efficient management of charging and discharging cycles.
- Automatic switching between alternating signals for optimal battery performance.
Potential Applications:
- Battery testing and monitoring systems.
- Electric vehicle charging stations.
- Renewable energy storage systems.
Problems Solved:
- Ensures accurate and controlled charging/discharging of batteries.
- Prevents overcharging or undercharging of rechargeable batteries.
- Optimizes battery performance and longevity.
Benefits:
- Prolongs battery life.
- Improves overall battery efficiency.
- Reduces the risk of battery damage.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include battery testing equipment for manufacturers, smart charging solutions for electric vehicles, and energy storage systems for renewable energy sources.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to battery management systems, current controllers, and battery testing apparatus to understand the evolution of this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in battery management systems, current control technologies, and rechargeable battery testing methodologies to enhance the efficiency and performance of this innovation.
Questions about Battery Measurement Apparatus: 1. How does the current controller determine when a cycle of input or output to the rechargeable battery is completed? 2. What are the potential implications of using different frequencies for the alternating signals in terms of battery performance and longevity?
Original Abstract Submitted
In a battery measurement apparatus, a current controller sets a predetermined wavenumber of each of first and second alternating signals, and determines whether an input or an output of the predetermined wavenumber of one of the first and second alternating signals to or from a rechargeable battery has completed. The current controller switches, in response to determination that the input or output of the predetermined wavenumber of one of the first and second alternating signals to or from the rechargeable battery has completed, the completed one of the first and second alternating signals to a new alternating signal having another frequency while continuing the input or output of the other of the first and second alternating signals to or from the rechargeable battery.
