Title: Secondary battery system
Inventor: TSUJIKO AKIRA
IPC: H01M10/48
Filed: 2009-03-26
Abstract: Provided is a secondary battery system which can accurately detect a state of a secondary battery system (such as a secondary battery state and a secondary battery system failure). The secondary battery system (6) includes dV/dQ calculation means which calculates a dV/dQ value as a ratio of a change amount dV of a battery voltage V of a secondary battery (100) against a change amount dQ of an accumulation amount Q when the accumulation amount Q of the secondary battery (100) is changed.  The secondary battery system (6) detects the state of the secondary battery system (6) by using the dV/dQ value.

Abstract: Balloon catheters (1), and medical devices including balloon catheters, are provided that comprise a balloon assembly (5) disposed at the distal end of an elongated tubular member (6). The balloon (5), when in the inflated state, includes a body fluid lumen (30) that extends longitudinally through the balloon (5) and is open at the proximal end of the balloon and the distal end of the balloon. In some aspects, the outer surface (45) of the balloon is contiguous from the proximal end to the distal end of the balloon when the balloon is inflated. In other aspects, an endoluminal prosthesis (20), for example, a stent that can optionally include a prosthetic valve, surrounds the balloon assembly (5) and is adjacent to the outer surface (40) of the balloon (5). The balloon assembly (5) is configured to permit a fluid to pass from the first end of the balloon to the second end of the balloon when the balloon is in an inflated state. In some embodiments, the body fluid lumen (30) includes a body fluid lumen valve (36) movable between a first position and a second position. The body fluid lumen valve occludes the body fluid lumen (30) to a greater extent in the first position than in the second position.

Abstract: A high fidelity distributed plant simulation technique includes a plurality of separate simulation modules that may be stored and executed separately in different drops or computing devices. The simulation modules communicate directly with one another to perform accurate simulation of a plant, without requiring a centralized coordinator to coordinate the operation of the simulation system. In particular, numerous simulation modules are created, with each simulation module including a model of an associated plant element and these simulation modules are stored in different drops of a computer network to perform distributed simulation of a plant or a portion of a plant. At least some of the simulation modules, when executing, perform mass flow balances taking into account process variables associated with adjacent simulation modules to thereby assure pressure, temperature and now balancing (i.e., conservation of mass flow) through the entire simulation system. In a dynamic situation, a transient mass storage relay technique is used to account for transient changes in mass flow through any non-storage devices being simulated by the simulation modules. Moreover, adjacent simulation modules located in different drops communicate directly with one another using a background processing task, which simplifies communications between adjacent simulation modules without the need for a central coordinator.
