US Patent:
6551740, Apr 22, 2003
Filed:
Oct 5, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/682694
Inventors:
Robert John Melichar - Dearborn MI
Assignee:
Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
H01M 1050
US Classification:
429120, 429 72, 429 99, 429176
Abstract:
A battery assembly including a generally hollow housing and several batteries which are disposed within the interior cavity of the housing Particularly, the batteries reside upon the axis and partition the cavity into a first tapered region and a second expanding portion effective to cause the speed of the air flowing through the cavity to be substantially constant as the air passes the surface of the batteries.

US Patent:
7333902, Feb 19, 2008
Filed:
Nov 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/598895
Inventors:
Robert J. Melichar - Troy MI, US
Assignee:
Cobasys, LLC - Orion MI
International Classification:
H02J 1/04
US Classification:
702 63, 324426, 324427, 320136
Abstract:
A system for determining an operating limit of at least one battery according to some embodiments of the present invention comprises a voltage module that measures a voltage V across at least one battery during first and second periods. A current sensor that measures current I supplied by the at least one battery during the first and second periods. A limit module estimates an ohmic resistance Rbased on at least one of a temperature of the at least one battery and a time difference between the first and second periods, and that estimates a sum of a polarization voltage Vand an open circuit voltage Vof the at least one battery at the second period based on the voltage V and current I of the at least one battery at the first period and an ohmic resistance Rof the at least one battery.

US Patent:
7375497, May 20, 2008
Filed:
Mar 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/081978
Inventors:
Robert Melichar - Troy MI, US
Assignee:
Cobasys, LLC - Orion MI
International Classification:
H02J 7/00
US Classification:
320132, 320127, 320128, 320137, 320162, 324426, 324427, 324428, 324432
Abstract:
A battery control module for a battery system comprises a voltage measuring module that measures battery and a current measuring module that measures battery current. A state of charge (SOC) module communicates with the current and voltage measuring modules and estimates SOC at least one of when an accumulated charge swing during charge is greater than or equal to an accumulated discharge swing during a prior discharge and a negative of a charge current is within a predetermined window of a negative of a retained discharge current during the prior discharge and/or when an accumulated discharge swing during discharge is greater than or equal to an accumulated charge swing during a prior charge and a negative of a discharge current is within a predetermined window of a negative of a retained charge current during the prior charge.

International Classification:
H02J 7/00
US Classification:
320132
Abstract:
A battery control module is provided for use with a battery and includes a voltage measuring module that measures battery voltage, a current measuring module that measures battery current, and a state of charge (SOC) module that communicates with the current and voltage measuring modules.

US Patent:
7570024, Aug 4, 2009
Filed:
Dec 13, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/301754
Inventors:
Robert J. Melichar - Troy MI, US
Assignee:
Cobasys, LLC - Orion MI
International Classification:
H02J 7/00
H02J 7/16
US Classification:
320149, 320132
Abstract:
A battery control module is provided for use with a battery and includes a voltage measuring module that measures battery voltage, a current measuring module that measures battery current, and a state of charge (SOC) module that communicates with said current and voltage measuring modules. In some features, the SOC module determines an unfiltered SOC of said battery, a characteristic of said unfiltered SOC, and a modified SOC that is based on said unfiltered SOC and said characteristic. In other features, the SOC module determines first and second reset voltages, compares the battery voltage to the first and second reset voltages, and determines an unfiltered SOC based on said first and second reset voltages and said battery voltage.

Battery Ohmic Resistance Calculation System And Method

View page
US Patent:
7782061, Aug 24, 2010
Filed:
Mar 16, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/725240
Inventors:
Robert J. Melichar - Troy MI, US
Hans I Johnson - Washington MI, US
Assignee:
Cobasys, LLC - Orion MI
International Classification:
G01N 27/416
US Classification:
324430, 324432
Abstract:
An apparatus that estimates the ohmic resistances of N batteries includes voltage and current measurement modules that respectively measure the voltage and current of each of the N batteries. An ohmic resistance estimating module over N+1 time periods receives the voltage and current measurements of each of the N batteries and receives consecutive voltage and current measurements for one of the N batteries. N is a positive integer and the ohmic resistance estimating module estimates the ohmic resistance of the battery that is associated with the consecutive voltage and current measurements.
