摘要： A battery management system is provided. The system includes a battery monitoring device having a microprocessor and a hardware component. The microprocessor identifies a non-modifiable node ID from the hardware component. The microprocessor also obtains operational parameters associated with the at least one battery cell. The microprocessor computes a network ID for the battery monitoring device based on the non-modifiable node ID. The system further includes a main controller that communicates with the battery monitoring device via a communication bus utilizing the network ID.

摘要： A method is proposed to integrate any form of biometric technology (e.g. fingerprint/face/iris/retina recognition, hand geometry, etc.) into a host software application without requiring runtime or software code compilation between the host and biometric software. The biometric software runs as a separate executable, independent of the host software, and communicates with the host software over a protocol supported by the host and biometric software operating system. The biometric software utilized by the host software can be substituted with another biometric software type with very little development effort. Hence, the proposed method will enable commercial software providers to rapidly integrate various biometric technologies without: a) requiring an extensive amount of knowledge and development resources regarding the selected biometric technology; b) having to compile the host software with the biometric software, which otherwise creates a burdensome development, maintenance, and support environment. This translates into decreased costs of integration, frees internal resources, and accelerates the deliverance of highly valuable biometric technology to the mainstream marketplace.

摘要： A method for determining a warranty obligation of a supplier to an OEM for a vehicle battery pack of a vehicle is provided. The battery pack was previously purchased by the OEM from the supplier. The method includes retrieving an operational parameter associated with a component of the vehicle battery pack or a battery management system. The method further includes determining whether the operational parameter is less than or equal to a threshold value. The method further includes reimbursing the OEM or crediting a financial account associated with the OEM for at least a portion of the cost of the replacement battery pack by the supplier if the operational parameter is less than or equal to the threshold value.
