TL;DR: In this paper, a simple but effective analysis to calculate the performances achievable by a balancing circuit for series-connected lithium-ion batteries (i.e., the time required to equalise the battery and the energy lost during this process) is described.

TL;DR: A general and flexible architecture for battery management implementation and the main techniques for state-of-charge estimation and charge balancing are reported and an innovative BMS is described, which incorporates an almost fully-integrated active charge equalizer.

TL;DR: An innovative lithium-battery cell-to-cell active equalizer capable of moving charge between series-connected cells using a super-capacitor as an energy tank and its very high efficiency, which is over 90%.

TL;DR: The proposed scheme combines a low-repetition-rate quasi-periodic pulse coding technique with the use of standard high-power fiber lasers operating at 1550 nm, allowing for what is believed to be the first long-range distributed temperature measurement over single-mode fibers.

TL;DR: The design, implementation, and validation of a FlexRay transceiver and a SpaceWire (SpW) router and interface are presented, which constitute the main hardware building blocks of the two in-vehicle communication standards.
