Accurate Battery State-Of-Charge Monitoring And Indicating Apparatus And Method
US Patent:
5656919, Aug 12, 1997
Filed:
Nov 14, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/557451
Inventors:
Richard L. Proctor - Seattle WA

Cruising Equipment, Inc. - Seattle WA
International Classification:
H01M 1048
US Classification:
320 30
Abstract:
The apparatus and method of monitoring and/or indicating an accurate state-of-charge of a battery compensates for varying current loads and changing temperature conditions. The apparatus and method compensate for the Peukert Effect which manifests itself when varying current loads are applied to the battery. Also, the apparatus and method may compensate for temperature changes in the environment of the battery. The extent of the Peukert Effect and temperature variation on the battery is based on intrinsic characteristics of the battery which may be experimentally defined. Specifically, preferred apparatuses include memories for storing various discharging/charging related values and a processor to calculate and determine values related to accurately monitoring the battery's state-of-charge. Also, the apparatus may include a battery state-of-charge indicator including a multi-segmented, multi-color LED display. The apparatuses and methods use a battery having a state-of-charge equal to the battery's charge capacity (CCAP).
Clam-Shell Housing Having Releasably Attachable, Wall-Mounting Mechanism

Filed:
Feb 9, 1996

Cruising Equipment Company, Inc. - Seattle WA
International Classification:
H01R 13516
US Classification:
174 58
Abstract:
The housing may be quickly and easily assembled in a clam-shell manner. The housing includes a pair of half-shells with each having a tongue for connecting to a face plate and a locking mechanism for connecting the half-shells together. The tongues are inserted into a pair of tongue-receiving fulcrum structures of the plate so that the half-shells are positioned in an open clam-shell arrangement. To complete the connection and the formation of the housing, the half-shells are rotated towards each other until the locking mechanism of one of the half-shells fastens to the locking mechanism of the other half-shell. Furthermore, the housing provides a wall-mounting mechanism for releasably attaching the housing to a wall, wherein that mechanism has two operative positions, including locking and release positions. In the locking position, the wall-mounting mechanism securely mounts the housing to the wall, and in the release position, the housing is unmounted and removable from the wall.
