Abstract:
An autonomous lithium-ion cell balancing system with integrated voltage monitoring includes a lithium-ion battery having a plurality of cells, a cell balancing circuit and a cell balancing control circuit. The heart of the cell balancing circuit is a plurality of gated cell balancing converters that are connected with the battery cells and a common share bus. Each gated lithium-ion cell balancing converter receives and input drive voltage and an input sample voltage and transfers energy from highly charged lithium-ion cells to the less charged lithium-ion cells, forcing all cells to have the same energy level. Further, the gated cell balancing converter provides a telemetry output voltage analog to an input cell voltage, eliminating the need for a separate cell voltage monitor.
Partial Shunt Switching Limiter For A Spacecraft Solar-Panel Or Like Power-Source Array

Abstract:
This regulating system for an array of solar panels or the like consists of a tap connection into the array, and a boost switching regulator connected to the tapped array. The tap connection divides the array into first and second portions, and the switching regulator is connected so that its power-input terminals are across only one of the two portions of the array. The power-output terminals of the switching regulator are connected across the load (i. e. , across the entire array), and the sensing or feedback terminals of the regulator receive a signal which acts as a measure of voltage or current at the load. Boost regulators do not dump overvoltage into a dissipative load; hence the invention prevents local heat generation and resulting spacecraft heat-balance problems of conventional dissipative regulators. Furthermore, in the circuit of the present invention, negligible power flows through the regulator at the end of the solar-panel useful life; hence efficiency losses in the boost regulator itself are avoided when power is at its greatest premium.

Abstract:
An improved fire-retarded insert for forming a fire and thermal barrier between the bottom of a fluted deck structure and the top-of-walls is disclosed. The fire-retardant insert comprises an elongated fire-retardant member and at least one intumescent member in contact with the top, bottom, side, or end surfaces of the fire-retardant member, or positioned within the interior of the fire-retardant member. The fire-retardant member and the intumescent member are circumscribed preferably by a thin flexible film, such as shrink-wrap, to fully encase the fire-retardant insert making the installation easier and safer.
