Filed:

Jun 26, 2013

Appl. No.:

13/927447

Inventors:

Peter J. Burke - East Northport NY, US
Sai Fung - Melville NY, US

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320107

Abstract:

A portable battery charging apparatus having two or more battery charging interfaces on separate panels. Wires electrically couple the battery charging apparatuses to a charger unit. The wires are routed for flexibility to fold and unfold the panels. The battery charging apparatuses and the charging unit may be connected to a flexible material. Each battery charging apparatus may include two or more charging jacks for the same or different batteries. The charger unit has an input to receive a power source, and an output to power a further device, for example a further battery charging apparatus.

Ail System, Inc. - Deer Park NY

International Classification:

H03K 408
H03K 490

US Classification:

327132

Abstract:

An ultra-linear chirp generator includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) having a tuning characteristic which is naturally nonlinear, a linear ramp generator which generates a linearly ramping output signal having a linear slope characteristic with respect to time, a polynomial correction waveform generator which generates a polynomial correction signal, and a summer which is responsive to and sums the linearly ramping output signal and the polynomial correction signal. The summer generates a VCO tuning signal for tuning the VCO. The tuning signal corresponds to the linearly ramping output signal predistorted with a nonlinearity opposite to the natural nonlinearity of the VCO tuning characteristic. The linear chirp generator also includes a phase locked loop which is responsive to the output signal of the VCO and which has a reference frequency which is related to the repetition rate of the output signal of the VCO.

International Classification:

H04B 116

US Classification:

455254

Abstract:

A continuous wave (CW) integrator is employed within a compressive receiver to improve the sensitivity of the compressive receiver to CW signals. The CW integrator circuit partitions the bandwidth of the compressive receiver into a series of contiguous bins and integrates any signals residing within these bins over many sweeps of the compressive receiver bandwidth. By sampling and integrating CW signals present in the compressive receiver bandwidth, the CW integrator circuit improves the sensitivity of the compressive receiver by a factor approximately equal to 10 log. sqroot. N, where N is the number of integrations performed.

Abstract:

A ballistic resistant case for a secondary battery having a rectangular metal case () with a panel () connected to the bottom wall and the side walls to divide the internal space of the case into cell pack receiving bays (). A bus bar () extends from the front wall, across the top of the panel, to the rear wall. A connector () secures the cover () to the panel () with the bus bar () sandwiched therebetween. The bus bar () reinforces a central portion of the cover () and prevents the panel () and the walls from deflecting to provide ballistic protection for the cell packs ().

Abstract:

A thermal management system () for rechargeable secondary batteries having an electrically insulating material () lining the interior of a metal case (). One or more cell packs () made of individual cells () arranged within end frames () is disposed in the metal case (). A thermally conductive granular filler () occupies the interstices (A) between the individual cells () and the space between the cell pack and the electrically insulating material liner (). The thermally conductive filler () decreases the thermal impedance from the cell pack () to the exterior surface of the metal case () to reduce cell pack temperature and increase battery life

Abstract:

A modular case having similarly sized U-shaped sections that enclose energy storage cells and a battery management system. Additional modules can be ganged together to increase the energy storage and output capacity. Removable panels in the sections can be removed for the installation of jacks and a status display. Various charging sources can be coupled to the module including solar, generator and AC mains for charging. An output switch selectively delivers AC mains power when available, and then switches to battery power during periods of AC mains unavailability.

Abstract:

Rechargeable cells in cylindrical form are arranged within frames in a honeycomb structure and coupled by connecting straps outside the frames to form cell pack. Several cell packs, an electronic switch and control circuit are integrated into the battery housing. A bus bar extends around the perimeter of the housing. A high density MOSFET switch is coupled between the bur bar and the battery contact. A high power electronic clamp disposed across the battery terminals absorbs or redirects transients. An active, high-efficiency, low-noise cell balance converter or a LC based resonant converter may also be provided. For advanced battery applications a +5V CAN bus interface is provided via two circular connectors. Thermistors are provided for use in a thermal protection scheme.
