System And Method For Balancing Multi-Cell Battery Systems

View page
US Patent:
20130328529, Dec 12, 2013
Filed:
Jun 12, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/494832
Inventors:
ALEXANDER DANILO ZBROZEK - SUNNYVALE CA, US
International Classification:
H02J 7/00
US Classification:
320118, 320128
Abstract:
A battery balancing system including two battery modules connected in series, wherein each module is coupled to a balancing circuit. The balancing circuit is selectively operable between two modes: a dissipative mode, wherein the balancing circuit is connected in parallel to the respective battery module and dissipates energy from the battery module as light; and a latent mode, wherein the balancing circuit is disconnected from the battery module. A method of balancing a battery, including: charging a module of the battery, the module including at least one electrochemical cell; monitoring a system parameter indicative of the module charge; determining that a dissipation condition has been met based on the system parameter; and connecting a balancing circuit to the module upon determination of the dissipation condition being met, wherein the balancing circuit dissipates energy from the battery module as light.

US Patent:
20100294336, Nov 25, 2010
Filed:
May 20, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/784360
Inventors:
Eric C. Johnson - Mountain View CA, US
Alexander D. Zbrozek - Stanford CA, US
Assignee:
SKYLINE SOLAR, INC. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
H01L 31/042
H01L 31/00
H01L 31/18
US Classification:
136244, 136256, 438 65, 257E31127, 257E31117
Abstract:
A variety of arrangements and methods relating to solar energy collectors and/or solar receivers are described. In one aspect of the invention, a solar receiver includes a photovoltaic cell and a conductive bar that is mounted on the photovoltaic cell. One or more protective covers are positioned over the conductive bar and the cell. Each of the protective covers includes a top and an opposing bottom surface and a side beveled surface. The top and bottom surfaces of the protective covers are substantially parallel to the face of the photovoltaic cell. The side beveled surface is positioned over the conductive bar and is arranged to reflect incoming sunlight towards a portion of the cell that is not covered by the conductive bar.

US Patent:
20200180653, Jun 11, 2020
Filed:
Dec 11, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/215713
Inventors:
- Mountain View CA, US
Ryan Joseph Andrade - Morgan Hill CA, US
Andreas Wendel - Mountain View CA, US
Michael James - Northville MI, US
Christian Lauterbach - Campbell CA, US

International Classification:
B60W 50/029
G05D 1/00
B60W 10/04
B60W 10/20
B60W 50/02
Abstract:
The technology relates to partially redundant equipment architectures for vehicles able to operate in an autonomous driving mode. Aspects of the technology employ fallback configurations, such as two or more fallback sensor configurations that provide some minimum amount of field of view (FOV) around the vehicle. For instance, different sensor arrangements are logically associated with different operating domains of the vehicle. Fallback configurations for computing resources and/or power resources are also provided. Each fallback configuration may have different reasons for being triggered, and may result in different types of fallback modes of operation. Triggering conditions may relate, e.g., to a type of failure, fault or other reduction in component capability, the current driving mode, environmental conditions in the vicinity of vehicle or along a planned route, or other factors. Fallback modes may involve altering a previously planned trajectory, altering vehicle speed, and/or altering a destination of the vehicle.
