Mobile information apparatus, method and program for optimizing the charge state of the apparatus, and battery management server, method and program using the server to optimize the charge state of battery-powered electrical apparatus

A schedule recording section (4) records a user's schedule. A SOC (state-of-charge) optimization planning section (5) plans the SOC of a rechargeable battery (21) based on the user's schedule. The planned control target SOC is optimized through a comparison between the continuous charging characteristic of the rechargeable battery (21) and the length of an operable period or the amount of electric power to be secured at the time of battery-powered operation. For example, a control target SOC is set at a full charge in the proximity of the period during which a battery-powered operation time is expected to be long. A control target SOC is set lower enough than a full charge in the period during which a connection to an external power supply (A) by the AC adapter (11) is expected to continue for a long time. A power-supply control section (3) controls the charge and discharge of the rechargeable battery (21) according to a plan for the optimization of the SOC.

Ionizable isotopic labeling reagents for relative quantification by mass spectrometry

Relative quantification of metabolites by Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) requiring a mechanism for simultaneous analysis of multiple analytes in two or more samples. Labeling reagents that are reactive to particular compound classes and differ only in their isotopic kit facilitating relative quantification and providing tangible evidence for the existence of specific functional groups. Heavy and light isotopic forms of methylacetimidate were synthesized and used as labeling reagents for quantification of amine-containing molecules, such as biological samples. Heavy and light isotopic forms of formaldehyde and cholamine were also synthesized and used independently as labeling reagents for quantification of amine-containing and carboxylic acid-containing molecules, such as found in biological samples. Advantageously, the labeled end-products are positively charged under normal acidic conditions involving conventional Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC / MS) applications. Labeled primary and secondary amine and carboxylic acid end-products also generated higher signals concerning mass-spectra than pre-cursor molecules and improved sensitivity. Improved accuracy concerning relative quantification was achieved by mixing heavy and light labeled Arabidopsis extracts in different ratios. Labeling strategy was further employed to ascertain differences in the amounts of amine-containing metabolites for two strains of Arabidopsis seeds.

System for detecting a battery malfunction and performing battery mitigation for an hev

A system for detecting malfunction of a battery in a hybrid electric vehicle and optionally mitigating the battery fault. A neural network forms a diagnostic circuit which receives signals representative of the required driveshaft torque and speed over a diagnostic period and a prior state of charge of the battery at the beginning of the diagnostic period as input signals. The diagnostic circuit generates an output signal representing a difference between an estimated state of charge of the battery at the end of the diagnostic period and the actual state of charge of the battery. In the event that the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold, a battery fault signal is generated. The battery fault signal may be employed to vary the engine speed and / or torque to perform battery fault mitigation by increasing the state of charge of the battery.

The present invention provides a power source system that increases the power supply capacity of a power source device and continuously supplies the power necessary for a load device when a power source device stops. A control unit has a state quantity setting unit that sets a first target state quantity indicating a state of charge of the power storage device that is to be a target value when charge and discharge of the power storage device are controlled. When the power source device stops, the state quantity setting unit can change the first target state quantity to a second target state quantity that is to be a target value exceeding the first target state quantity and can increase the target state quantity of the power storage device. As a result, when the power source device stops, charge and discharge of the power storage device are controlled on the basis of the target state quantity exceeding that during the operation of the power source device. Therefore, the state of charge of the power storage device can be improved over that during the operation of the power source device. As a result, the power supply capacity of the power source device can be increased and the power necessary for the load device can be continuously supplied, in place of the power source device.

Power supply controller

A power supply control section calculates a target charge / discharge current of a secondary power supply apparatus based on an actual charged amount and a target charged amount of the secondary power supply apparatus, and feedback-controls the stepped-up voltage of a step-up circuit such that an actual charge / discharge current detected by a secondary current sensor coincides with a target charge / discharge current. When the actual charged amount (1) is equal to or greater than the target charged amount, the target charge / discharge current is set to zero to prevent overcharging, and (2) is less than the target charged amount, a target charge current corresponding to a capacity margin of the step-up circuit is set to quickly charge the secondary power supply apparatus. When the output of the step-up circuit has no margin, the target charge / discharge current is set to zero.

Labeling peptides with tertiary amines and other basic functional groups for improved mass spectrometric analysis

ActiveUS20100330680A1Easy to analyzeImprove fragmenting characteristicPeptide/protein ingredientsPeptide sourcesHighly charged ionGas phase
The present invention provides methods for enhancing the fragmentation of peptides for mass spectrometry by modifying the peptides with a tagging reagent containing a functional group, such as a tertiary amine, having a greater gas-phase basicity than the amide backbone of the peptide. These high gas-phase basicity functional groups are attached to a peptide by reacting the tagging reagent to one or more available carboxylic acid groups of the peptide. Linking these high gas-phase functional groups to the peptides leads to higher charge state ions from electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), which fragment more extensively during fragmentation techniques, particularly non-ergodic fragmentation techniques such as electron capture dissociation (ECD) and electron transfer dissociation (ETD).
