Since deliverable 4.1 we have begun to assemble the actual VAMPIRE AR kit based on the experience we gained from the assembly of our prototype platform described in deliverable 4.1 1. The VAMPIRE tracking subsystem consists of a Advantech PCM 9577 board with PIII (see table 1 for more details) providing an onboard USB2 interface required for our custom CMOS camera 2, two webcams, an Xsens inert...

transition from medical school to GME, from residency training to fellowship, and from fellowship to practice. To maintain the “osteopathic” in osteopathic education, perhaps we need recharging outlets at each level. Osteopathic postdoctoral training institutions have been the battery pack for DOs in osteopathic residency and fellowship training, providing some osteopathic juice when the level ...

New energy vehicles have significant prospects in reducing greenhouse gas emission and environmental pollution. Lithium-ion batteries are the favored power source electric because of their high density long service life. The battery performance depends noticeably on temperature. Battery thermal management system, which can keep pack working a proper temperature range, not only affects significa...

Recent advances in lithium ion battery modeling suggest degradation may be reduced by permitting unequal but controlled charging of individual cells, delayed until immediately prior to discharge. Hence, this paper compares anode-side film formation for a standard equalization scheme versus unequal charging through switches controlled by deterministic dynamic programming (DDP) and DDP-inspired a...

Lithium-based battery technology offers performance advantages over traditional battery technologies at the cost of increased monitoring and controls overhead. Multiple-cell Lead-Acid battery packs can be equalized by a controlled overcharge, eliminating the need to periodically adjust individual cells to match the rest of the pack. Lithium-based based batteries cannot be equalized by an overch...

A power conversion interface for a small-capacity photovoltaic generation system (PPGS) is proposed in this paper. The composed of DC–DC converter (DDC), battery pack and buck–boost inverter (BBI). integrated to the store or release energy smoothing fluctuation PPGS. only activated when large change occurs array (PV array). DC power, no matter whether from PV pack, needs be converted into AC by...

Effective balanced management of battery packs can not only increase the available capacity a pack but reduce attenuation and loss caused by cell inconsistencies remove safety hazards abnormal use such as overcharge over-discharge. This research considers both equilibration period operating current. The State Charge (SOC), current, equalization current batteries are all limited. Based on existi...

With the rapid development of lithium-ion battery technology, powertrain electrification has been widely applied in vehicles. However, if thermal runaway occurs a pack, venting gas cells will spread and burn rapidly, which poses great threat to safety. In this study, 2D CFD simulation combustion characteristics cell pack is performed, possibility detonation explored. First, numerical model for ...
