    摘要: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for mitigating vehicle power loss. A vehicle charging system may include a power supply, and a voltage control device associated with receiving first voltage from the power supply, providing the first voltage to a hybrid vehicle or a battery electric vehicle, and blocking a second voltage from the hybrid vehicle or the battery electric vehicle, wherein the vehicle charging system is external to the hybrid vehicle or the battery electric vehicle.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an on-board electrical network for a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle comprises a battery cell unit configured as a so-called SmartCell. The on-board electrical network also comprises a controller for operating the battery cell unit. In order to be able to be supplied with electric energy, the controller comprises a supply connection for supplying a supply voltage. The supply voltage is usually supplied by an energy supply device of the on-board electrical network, which is coupled to the controller via a first connection line. In order to allow for a redundant energy supply for the controller, a second connection line is provided in addition to the first connection line, via which a battery cell of the respective battery cell unit is coupled to the supply connection. The supply voltage can thus be supplied either via the first connection line or via the second connection line on the basis of an operating state of the energy supply device.

    摘要: Remote updating of software on a target module of an electric work vehicle including a rechargeable battery. When a software update for the machine's software is available a determination is made as to whether or not the machine's rechargeable battery is connected to a charging module. If the machine's rechargeable battery is connected to a charging module, the software update is provided on the target module. If the machine's rechargeable battery is not connected to a charging module, the software update is delayed until the rechargeable battery is connected to a charging module. The software update to the target module may be performed via remote flashing.

    摘要: According to examples, an optical fiber-based sensing membrane may include at least one optical fiber, and a substrate. The at least one optical fiber may be integrated in the substrate. The optical fiber-based sensing membrane may include, based on a specified geometric pattern of the at least one optical fiber, an optical fiber-based sensing membrane layout. The substrate may include a thickness and a material property that are specified to ascertain, via the at least one optical fiber and based on the optical fiber-based sensing membrane layout, a thermal and/or a mechanical property associated with a device, or a radiation level associated with a device environment. The specified geometric pattern of the at least one optical fiber may include a spiral geometric pattern, and each spiral of the spiral geometric pattern includes no direct neighbor.

    摘要: An energy recovery control method and apparatus. The energy recovery control method includes: after receiving a braking request from a vehicle, determining an allowable energy recovery power and a target energy recovery power corresponding to a target vehicle, wherein the braking request contains a target braking torque; and in response to determining that the allowable energy recovery power is less than the target energy recovery power, requesting a target motor controller to control a target drive motor to perform energy recovery, according to an allowable thermal power corresponding to the target drive motor, and requesting the target motor controller to control the target drive motor to output the target braking torque, wherein the sum of the allowable thermal power and the allowable energy recovery power is greater than or equal to the target energy recovery power.
