Patent
Battery state of charge gauge
TL;DR: In this article, a function generator is constructed to simulate the characteristic curve of the battery relating the internal resistance to the percent charge, and feedback is provided from the output of the indicating circuitry to the bias point of the function generator for causing the generator to produce a signal related to the actual internal resistance.
Patent
Electrically propelled vehicle
TL;DR: In this paper, a propulsion system for an electrical vehicle including a linear proportional controller operable in a plurality of modes for operating a dc drive motor via power derived from a propulsion battery is presented.
Patent
Power converter employing non-saturating interphase transformer
TL;DR: In this paper, a power converter for operation with a d.c. power supply to provide an output voltage having a level controlled in response to an external control signal is presented. And the converter uses a dual chopper configuraton with the out of phase outputs from the respective chopper halves being combined in an interphase transformer.
