Title: Energy storage structure
Inventor: FUGANG YANG
IPC: F15B15/06
Filed: 2016-11-07
Abstract: An energy storage structure is provided, comprising a housing (10) and a piston (20). An accommodation cavity (10a) and a piston cylinder portion (10b) communicating with each other are disposed in the housing (10). The piston (20) is slidably and sealingly disposed in the piston cylinder portion (10b), and is for transferring impact energy. An energy storage medium (1) is disposed in the accommodation cavity (10a) and the piston cylinder portion (10b). Pressure of the energy storage medium (1) acts on the piston (20), tending to drive the piston (20) to move. The energy storage structure of the present invention is simple in structure and easy to use, and can ensure that a propulsive force or an impact force remains unchanged or changes only slightly during operation, smoothly and steadily releasing potential energy. In addition, changing a temperature of the energy storage medium (1) in the accommodation cavity (10a) can adjust the propulsive force or the impact force, thereby adjusting the total impact energy of the energy storage structure.

Abstract: A method of predicting destinations that are in range of a vehicle. The method includes predicting a plurality of possible destination points on a digital route map based on a location and an amount of energy remaining in a vehicle: and modifying one or mere parameters affecting the prediction of the possible destination points, wherein the modification is made in dependence of an amount of energy remaining in the vehicle. The predicted destinations may be used to calculate a predicted range of the vehicle and when the energy falls below a threshold the accuracy of the predicted range may be increased. The parameter may correspond to the number of destination points calculated, the number of regions (radial sectors) used or a data type. Also disclosed is a method of sending an increased frequency of requests for navigation data (e.g. range prediction values or route data) when the energy of the vehicle falls below a threshold.
