A battery monitor is provided for use with a battery of an automotive vehicle. The battery monitor can provide real time battery condition measurements and can selectively control the charging of the battery through an alternator of the vehicle based upon the measured battery condition.

Energy management system for automotive vehicle

An electronic battery tester for testing a storage battery includes test circuitry configured to provide an output based upon a selected test criteria. Additionally, circuitry is provided to assist in balancing batteries used in a string of multiple batteries.

Electronic battery tester

An automotive vehicle electrical system diagnostic apparatus includes first and second electrical connections configured to electrically couple to an electrical system of an automotive vehicle which includes a battery. Digital samples are obtained during operation of the vehicle which are related to the system. The digital samples are stored in memory.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a highly efficient semiconductor laser unit having excellent temperature characteristics, in which electrons or holes are suppressed from overflowing from the active layer to the cladding layers while the threshold of current density is maintained low. The present invention is to provide a semiconductor laser unit fundamentally composed of an active layer and cladding layers in which the active layer is interposed between the cladding layers the semiconductor laser unit comprising: a multiquantum barrier layer including well layers and barrier layers disposed between the active layer and the cladding layers or disposed in the cladding layers close to the active layer, wherein the well and barrier layers have a high reflectivity with respect to the electrons and holes at a position close to Γ-point in the reciprocal lattice space, and also the well and barrier layers have a high reflectivity with respect to the electrons and holes at a position close to at least one of the primary symmetrical points.
