Method And Apparatus For End Of Discharge Indication Based On Critical Energy Requirement
US Patent:
2003007, Apr 24, 2003
Filed:
Dec 19, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/024871
Inventors:
Richard DeIRossi - Dallas TX, US
Gary Zanders - Fairview TX, US

International Classification:
G08B021/00
US Classification:
340/636000
Abstract:
A battery monitoring system and method in accordance with the principles of the present invention, a capacity of interest is determined. This capacity of interest is the useful battery capacity required for an operation of interest; that is, the battery capacity at the discharge rate required for the operation of interest. The operation of interest may be a save-to-disk operation during a battery operated computer shutdown or a shutdown procedure for a personal digital assistant, for example. Given the capacity of interest, alarm settings are determined for a variety of voltage, discharge, and, optionally, temperature conditions. The trip points map, or index, voltage and discharge rate information for one or more discharge rates to one or more capacities of interest. When an indexed battery-voltage/discharge-rate combination that corresponds to the capacity of interest is encountered, an alarm may be set to indicate that, although the present voltage and discharge rates may indicate that there is more or less capacity than required for the critical operation, the capacity of interest (useful energy left at the discharge rate of interest) has been encountered.
Method And Apparatus For Flexible Analog-To-Digital Conversion
US Patent:
2003007, Apr 24, 2003
Filed:
May 16, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/147250

Mark Enochson - Plano TX, US
Jimmie Vernon - Carrollton TX, US

International Classification:
H03M001/10
US Classification:
341/120000
Abstract:
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes storage for one or more configuration parameter values. Configuration parameter values stored in the storage locations are used by control logic to configure the ADC's conversion mechanism. The configuration values may be arranged in lists that the control logic cycles through in order to modify the configuration of the ADC's conversion mechanism. The control logic may change from one list, or series of lists, to another in order to adapt the ADC to changing circumstances. The changing circumstances may include the changing state of charge in a battery monitoring application.
