摘要： A battery ECU includes a central processing unit (CPU). The CPU calculates plural deterioration degrees based on data input from a thermistor, an ammeter, and a voltmeter which detect state quantities of a nickel-hydrogen battery, and reads, from a memory, contribution degrees each of which corresponds to each of the calculated plural deterioration degrees. Then the CPU calculates a total deterioration degree of the nickel-hydrogen battery based on the deterioration degrees and the contribution degrees, calculates the contribution degrees based on the calculated total deterioration degree, and stores the contribution degrees in the memory.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for measuring impedance and voltage characteristics of cells of multi-cell electrochemical devices, for example a battery or a fuel cell stack. Voltages are measured across individual cells, or groups of cells. At the same time, a load is connected in series with the electrochemical device. Both the device for measuring the voltages and the load are controlled together, preferably by means of a controller, which can include some form of microprocessor. This enables the load to be controlled to provide a desired combination of DC and AC current characteristics. By setting appropriate DC and AC current characteristics, desired characteristics of the impedance of individual cells can be measured.

摘要： A method and apparatus for testing a storage battery is provided that generates a temperature at which the battery will fail to meet performance criteria. The use of a temperature-based system to rate battery performance provides a clearer understanding to those not skilled in the art of battery testing. The critical failure temperature is obtained using the battery parameters of open circuit voltage, temperature and a dynamic parameter such as conductance or resistance.

摘要： An apparatus and method for measuring conductance are provided. The method and apparatus are particularly well adapted for use with a removable or replaceable cartridge in a blood analysis system. The apparatus generally involves providing a system having a first, unfiltered, conductance measurement cell and a second, filtered, conductance measurement cell. The preferred method involves relating values measured in the two cells for a whole blood sample and for a known calibrant together, to obtain a value, for example hematocrit, for the unknown whole blood sample.

摘要： A method and apparatus for measuring the electrical efficacy of one or more battery cells for use in an uninterruptable power supply are disclosed. The efficacy is determined by making use of the ripple current which flows in the battery cells when in use in the uninterruptable power supply. Simultaneous measurement, for example, of the ripple current and a corresponding voltage component enables the internal impedance of a battery cell to be determined, the impedance acting as an indicator of electrical efficacy.

摘要： The amount of charge passing through a measurement resistor connected to a rechargeable battery is measured by integrating in an analog manner an overall current. This overall current is equal to the sum of the resistor current and of a reference current that selectively takes one of two opposite values. The results of the integration are compared with a reference voltage, and one of two opposite values of the reference current is selected depending on each result of the comparison. The number of times where the positive opposite value of the reference current is selected furnishes an indication on the amount of charge during the integration time.

摘要： A remaining charge detecting system of an electric double layer capacitor to be usable, for example, as an energy source of a hybrid vehicle having an internal combustion engine and an electric motor separately driving wheels. The system includes a current-voltage sensor which generates an output indicative of a terminal voltage across terminals of the capacitor and an output indicative of charge/discharge current charged into and discharged from the capacitor and an electronic control unit, comprising a microcomputer, which inputs the outputs of the current-voltage sensor indicative of the terminal voltage and charge/discharge current and calculates a remaining charge of the capacitor based on a state equation (mathematical model) having the remaining charge of the capacitor as a state variable and an observer that observes the state equation, thereby enabling simple and accurate detection of the remaining charge of the electrical double layer capacitor without need for a high-precision current sensor.

摘要： An alternator tester having improved heat dissipation. The alternator tester has a housing and a circuit board including tester circuits. The housing has a size suitable to be held in one's hand. The housing includes a first compartment for receiving the circuit board and a second compartment for housing a load. The load is coupled to an alternator when the alternator tester conducts a test on the alternator. The second compartment has an opening disposed on one side and a fan disposed on the other side. The load, the opening and the fan are substantially in line. The opening and the fan form an air flow path, when the fan is in operation, the heat generated by the load is dissipated to the surrounding air and drawn out through the air path.

A voltage supply circuit for such voltage measuring circuit of a composite fuel cell system comprising a plurality of individual fuel cells connected in series includes at least one voltage stabilization element connected in parallel with the circuit which is to be supplied with voltage by the composite fuel cell system. At least one current source or current sink is connected in series with this parallel circuit.
