    摘要: A reconfigurable battery has at least one bank of statically joined series connected battery cells, each cell including a positive and a negative pole. The poles connect through switches to respective output connections. Activating a set of processor controlled switches reconfigures at least some of the battery cells into a configuration to provide a voltage across the output connections. The output battery voltage may vary intermediately between open circuit voltage and the maximum voltage produced by the series connected battery cells. An alternative configuration of switches divides groups of series connected battery cells into separate battery banks that permit other battery cell configurations. Duty cycle modulation of the switches allows intermediate control of output voltage with reduced switching transients. Reconfigurable battery cells used in combination with an electric motor permit selectable speed control and battery regeneration schemes matched to motor output.

    摘要: A plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) is driven based on the voltage and current requirements of the LEDs at any given time. The driving of the LEDs is adapted to the input voltage provided. A series of switches (e.g. MOSFETS) is used to selectively illuminate the LEDs according to the input voltage and current, with more LEDs being lit as the input voltage or current increases. In one configuration, the switches are driven to provide a light dimming function. The LEDs can be controlled remotely using, e.g. an X10 communication protocol. A direct current implementation is also provided. In an alternate embodiment, the LEDs are used in photo diode mode for communication with a remote controller or other light bulbs.
