They control the charging /discharging parameters, measure the voltages and state of charge (SOC) of the battery cells, equalize the charge/discharge characterizes of individual battery cells and notify the main controller of the status of the battery pack. They are also the critical safeguards against potential damages to the batteries. Due to the fact that LiPo batteries have great energy density, low discharge rate, high cell voltage and lack of memory effect, they are widely used in applications such as electric vehicles and electric bicycles. However, because one battery pack needs a lot of battery cells connected in series, the battery pack is prone to fail than a single cell battery. Moreover, the battery cells are always different in the SOC and internal impedance. This means if the weak cell hits the protection limit while the other cells in the series are still sufficient to power the system, the battery pack cannot be used either. This will limit the capacity and efficiency of the battery pack. To improve the reliability and capacity of Li-Po battery pack, this paper propose a novel battery management system, on which, individual battery cell can be dynamically connected to or disconnect from any position of the battery series via the matrix switching network. By appropriately controlling the matrixswitching network, the battery cells can be configured to different configurations to suit different application scenarios e.g. active cell balancing, multi-voltage output, and weak/fail cell replacement.","PeriodicalId":186975,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation","volume":"1988 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130385387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, each GD parameter is tunable for each GD design formula instead of being traditionally assigned the same value, which is the key point in this research for making simulations successful.

In this paper, we proposed a novel hybrid tracking method based on Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) and Multiple Instance Learning (MIL). Most modern trackers may be inaccurate when the training samples are imprecise which causes drift. To resolve these problems, MIL method is introduced into the tracking task, which can alleviate drift to some extent. However, the MIL tracker may detect the positive sample that is less important. PCNN is different from traditional artificial neural networks, which can be applied in many image processing fields, such as image segmentation. So, the PCNN was employed as sample detector which can know the most important sample when training the classifier. Then, a more robust and much faster tracker is proposed to approximately maximize the bag likelihood function. Empirical results on a large set of sequences demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed approach in robustness, stability and efficiency to state-of-the-art methods in the literature.","PeriodicalId":186975,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation","volume":"33 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114107835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
