ADAPTIVE ALGORITHMS OF CONTROLLING THE SMART LI-ION BATTERY CONTROLLER

The article substantiates the necessity of organizing the control system of modern lithium-ion batteries. Passive and active methods of cell balancing are described. The method of increase of efficiency of modes of accumulation of electric energy by means of the special electronic control device (the intellectual controller) and its further use for power supply of the functional equipment is considered. The structure of the intelligent controller as a part of the autonomous power supply system with the description of its main functional units and purpose is presented. Practical results of application in the intellectual controller of original adaptive control algorithms defining modes of operation of lithium-ion drives depending on various environmental conditions are resulted. The results of the analysis obtained by the results of experimental operation of the battery system, reflecting the qualitative and quantitative advantages of the proposed method.

Development and Application of Flexible Pressure Sensor Pad

With the gradual rise inthe proportion of the aging population, the world has entered the agingsociety. Thus, the assessments of service to care receivers and home sleepquality have attracted more emphasis and attention of the medical sector. Theactuation principle is to apply a load on the upper sensor film, which touchesan external electronic control device to form the micro-current conduction.Thus the movement information of care receivers getting into or out of bed areprovided, and then through the device itself or emergency call device of thenursing station, warnings to the care receiver and other functions are given.This research aimed to understand the relationships of positive load, andrepeated load of the sensor pad to resistance; and at the last course of theexperiment, SEM and AFM were used to observe the change of oil ink organizationon the surface of the sensor film before and after the experiment as anamendment parameter for subsequent designs of the sensor pad. Future researchdirections for the flexible pressure sensor pad can be aimed at detecting bodypressure distribution, assessment of sleep quality, and so on.
