Abstract: A device for quick charging of batteries, whereby the charging current of the battery is directed in constant current impulses. Several charging current strengths of varying strengths, are brought into effect, depending on the respective charging condition of the battery, by clock impulses. Assigned to each charging current strength is a battery-specific zone in the electrochemical voltage gradient U=f(t), whereby the individual zones are indicated by voltage set values. The voltage zone assigned to each charging current strength is so chosen that in passing through this zone, no heating or gassing occurs. Thereby use is made of the fact that the battery at the beginning of the charging can accept a very high current. The charging condition of the battery is measured in each impulse pause, stored and compared with the voltage set value. Where there is a variance, the set-current value assigned to the zone is correspondingly adjusted.

Abstract: A system for detecting the presence of rain droplets on a windshield (17) employs a source of light, such as an LED (11), and a photodetector (12) installed on the dashboard (13) of a vehicle. The LED (11) and the photodiode (12) are arranged with respect to one another such that light from the LED (11) cannot reflect directly off the windshield into the photodiode (12). Only when the light from the LED is backscattered by an environmental condition, such as the raindrops (25) on the exterior of the windshield (17), the condensation of moisture on the interior of the windshield (17), or the presence of smoke in the cabin, will the photodiode (12) receive the light from the LED (11). Each of these environmental conditions has a predeterminable characteristic signature which permits the processing of data to detect same. An ambient light signal is subtracted from the combination of the rain and ambient light signals by pulsed operation of the LED (11) and subtracting the ambient light signal, which is detected when the LED (11) is dark, from the combined LED (11) and ambient light signal which is present when the LED (11) is illuminated.
