SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING BATTERY ALARMS IN INFUSION DEVICES
A system and method is disclosed for detecting remaining battery voltage or capacity in an infusion device and generating alarms based on the detection. The battery lifetime extension method includes providing an infusion device that derives its power from a rechargeable battery. The infusion device may derive its power from a rechargeable battery. Furthermore, the infusion device receives, at predetermined intervals of time in real-time sensor data comprising: a voltage, a change in the voltage over the predetermined interval of time, an average current, a temperature, and a remaining voltage or capacity reported by a battery gas gauge integrated circuit (“IC”) associated with the rechargeable battery. An improved and customized neural network model utilizes the sensor data to determine an indicia of the actual remaining voltage or capacity of the rechargeable battery in real-time. The indicia may be used to lengthen and/or abate ongoing medical infusion therapy.
BATTERY INDICATOR FOR FULLY DISCHARGED STATE
For indicating that a battery is fully discharged to a decommissioned state, methods, apparatus, and systems are disclosed. One apparatus includes a battery that powers an electronic device, a battery state module that comprises a non-reversible indicator, a control module coupled to the battery, and a decommission module. The decommission module receives a discharge signal from the control module and discharges the battery to a fully discharged state, where discharging the battery causes the non-reversible indicator to indicate the fully discharged state.
Vehicle, deterioration evaluation device for secondary battery, and deterioration evaluation method for secondary battery
A vehicle includes a secondary battery and a display device. The secondary battery is mounted on the vehicle as a power source. The display device is configured to display an indicator that indicates a capacity retention rate of the secondary battery at a current point in time. The capacity retention rate is a ratio of a capacity of the secondary battery at the current point in time to a reference capacity of the secondary battery. The reference capacity is set in advance based on a virtual capacity of the secondary battery after a lapse of a predetermined period from manufacture of the vehicle.
