| 20120249154 | GROUND FAULT DETECTION SYSTEM - The present application describes, among other things, a ground fault detection system. The system includes an optocoupler, a current sink, and a first voltage source connected in series. The first voltage source can connect to a negative terminal of a battery unit. Upon connection between a positive terminal of the battery unit and a first node at a ground zero reference level, current can flow through the optocoupler and the current sink to cause the optocoupler to output a ground fault detection signal. | 10-04-2012 |
| 20120249334 | BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - The present application describes, among other things, a battery management system. The battery management system includes a computing device and first and second battery unit monitoring modules. The computing device includes an output data request port and an input data port. Each battery unit monitoring module is connected in parallel to the input data port of the computing device. In response to a data request from the output data request port of the computing device, the first battery unit monitoring module transmits data of the first battery unit to the input data port of the computing device, and transmits a data request to the second battery unit monitoring module. In response to the data request from the first battery unit monitoring module, the second battery unit monitoring module transmits data of the second battery unit to the input data port of the computing device. | 10-04-2012 |
