Enchancing life span of battery pack using a novel battery balancing technique

Large battery packs composed of Lithium-Ion cells are continuously gaining in importance due to their applications in Electric Vehicles (EVs) and smart energy grids. To ensure maximum lifetime, safety and performance of the battery pack, complex embedded system architectures consisting of sensors, power electronics and microcontrollers are integrated into the pack as Battery Management System (BMS).Active cell balancing is a recently developed method that reduces losses by reducing the hardware components and providing more software control.

Coincidence and fixed points via multivalued mappings on partial metric spaces

In this paper, we prove coincidence and common fixed point theorems for two pair of multivalued and single valued mappings in complete partial metric spaces. These results improve, extend and generalize the corresponding results in the literature. Moreover, an example is provided to illustrate the usability of main results.

Per-cutaneous nailing of the distal radius fractures using a “s” shaped elastic nailpreliminary results

Background: The central venous accesses technique uses a direct visualization puncture. With the advent of the ultrasound (US)-guided puncture, a high variation rate in the anatomical position (AP) of the right internal jugular vein (RIJV) was observed compared to the right common carotid artery (RCCA). Objective: This study describes the rate of AP variability in RIJV, compared with previous studies and descriptions.

Clinical managements for severe covid-19 patients with pneumonia and acute respiratory distress: basic recommendation to reduce community mortality

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by a novel corona virus (SARS-CoV-2), is a highly contagious disease. Most of the infected patients have mild symptoms including fever, fatigue and cough. But in severe cases, patients can progress rapidly and develop to the acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, metabolic acidosis and coagulopathy. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on 11th March 2020.

Iot based accident detection device
