Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090152069Pressure Plate Assembly - A pressure plate assembly for a friction clutch with automatic wear compensation, including a housing which can be attached to a flywheel for rotation in common; a pressure plate installed in the housing and movable axially with respect to the housing; and an energy storage device supported against the housing and the pressure plate and exerting a force along a support path between the energy storage device and the pressure plate. A wear take-up device installed in the support path includes a wear take-up element which is preloaded to move in a wear take-up direction. An anti-reset device includes at least one clamping element which can be blocked to generate clamping contact with the wear take-up element, thereby preventing movement of the wear take-up element relative to the pressure plate in a direction opposite to the wear take-up direction.06-18-2009

20090158261Computer-Implemented Method of Releasing Battery State Estimation Software - A computer implemented method of facilely releasing a BSE software module adapted for execution by an electronic control unit having an update model of the BSE software and a controller having an embedded desktop model of the BSE software, includes a plurality of autonomously performed steps resulting in the compiling of a plurality of c-files into a library file. A single keyword activated preferred embodiment is disclosed in a MatLab®/Simulink®/Real-Time Workshop® environment.06-18-2009
20090302855METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CHARACTERIZING A BATTERY - Methods and systems are provided for characterizing a battery. A property of the battery is measured. A dynamic characteristic of the battery is determined from a second order linear dynamic model.12-10-2009
20100076704METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A STATE OF CHARGE OF A BATTERY - Methods and systems for determining a state of charge of a battery are provided. A first component of the state of charge is calculated based on a first property of the battery. A second component of the state of charge is calculated based on a second property of the battery. The first component of the state of charge is weighted based on a rate of change of the first property relative to a change of the state of charge. The second component of the state of charge is weighted based on a rate of change of the second property relative to a change of the state of charge. The state of charge is determined based on the first and second weighted components.03-25-2010
20100076705METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A STATE OF CHARGE OF A BATTERY BASED ON A TRANSIENT RESPONSE - Methods and systems for determining a state of charge of a battery exhibiting a transient response are provided. At least one property of the battery is measured. The state of charge of the battery is determined based on the at least one measured property and a transient response of the battery.03-25-2010

20090091299DYNAMICALLY ADAPTIVE METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE STATE OF CHARGE OF A BATTERY - A method for determining the state of charge (SOC) of a lithium ion battery is provided. The method leverages a circuit model of the lithium ion battery, and generates four battery parameters from which the SOC is derived.04-09-2009
20090109046Adaptive Filter Algorithm for Estimating Battery State-of-Age - A system for and method of estimating the state-of-age of a secondary cell utilizing an adaptive group filter algorithm, includes battery current, voltage, and temperature sensors, a communication device, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensors and device, configured to filter data by analyzing only sample data points from instantaneous charge or discharge events, selecting only a sample of n instantaneous points for further regression, including n/2 charge event points and n/2 discharge event points, and separately averaging the charge and discharge event points, and further configured to determine the state-of-age by determining a resistance slope based on the rate of current and voltage change between the averages of the points, and matching the slope to a calibrated scalar or relational database.04-30-2009
