ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 24 -- United States Patent no. 12,560,653, issued on Feb. 24, was assigned to UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA (Columbia, S.C.).

"Lebesgue sampling-based lithium-ion battery state-of-charge diagnosis and prognosis" was invented by Enhui Liu (Columbia, S.C.) and Bin Zhang (Irmo, S.C.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Method provides accurate state-of-health (SOH) diagnostics and prognostics during the whole-life-service of a lithium-ion battery by considering the effects of state-of-charge (SOC) and SOH on certain parameters (such as consideration of nonlinearity of the terminal voltage) during the process of SOC diagnostics and prognostics. The method integrates Lebesgue sampli...
