#Battery performance monitoring is critical for understanding its cell capacity, lifetime and reliability. This patent (cited 222 times) proposes a novel method to analyse the usage environment and operating conditions of a battery to enhance its performance. #EV #energy

#EV components such as motors and air conditioning systems dissipate a lot of heat during vehicle's operation. Can this heat be recaptured to be used efficiently? For example to regulate battery temperature. This #patent by Thunder Power cited over 41 times tries to explore.

Stubble burning chokes millions of people in Northern India every year. A #patent by @ibrumtech proposes a method for making #eco-friendly bio-bricks from agro-waste turning this #carbonvolcano into a #carbonsink. #worldenvironmentday zcu.io/FTaw

How can we minimise electricity costs while charging #EVs? This popular #patent (cited 181 times) shares some interesting insights about scheduling delayed charging and using a combustion engine to charge #EV battery when levels are critically low. zcu.io/TEd

Why can't all #EVs be rapidly charged? Rapid charging heats up the battery and reduces battery life. This #patent by Lightening Energy (cited 75 times) proposes a rapid charging method which limits #battery overheating using coolant #technology. zcu.io/bHMC

Would you buy an #EV which charges itself without you ever stepping out of it? This popular #patent (cited 99 times) by @Proterra Inc. proposes a novel method to charge an electric bus using an adaptable overhead charging station. zcu.io/gkxY

Gloves act as a barrier and degrade touch sensor's ability to capture multiple inputs. This #patent by @Apple proposes a method to detect touch with barriers (like gloves) and can be especially useful for healthcare workers. zcu.io/Qpiw #apple #engineering

In this #patent, Samsung discloses techniques for viewing events in the real world along with #VR content. Physical harm or external risks can be quickly identified and presented on the VR device without interrupting the VR experience. zcu.io/oDGw

A connected #IoT oven can stream live video of the food being cooked right to your #mobile device. Read more in this #patent granted to @fluidquiptech. zcu.io/K1qc

Do you know that naturally occurring compounds like Menthol, Linalool and Icilin can prevent neuronal damage from brain trauma safely and without side-effects? Read this #patent granted to @NestecInc to learn more. zcu.io/iMDZ

Tea and coffee prepared using microwave ovens often lacks in desired flavour. This patent proposes a method to tackle this problem by using heated magnetic material to improve water flow proximate to tea leaves. zcu.io/elOx

This patent by @Apple describes a head mounting #VR device that allows users to couple and decouple a portable electronic device. Reminds anyone of @Google cardboard? zcu.io/LbfE

In this #patent, @Samsung discloses a method to reduce computational complexity of 360° #VR content. This is achieved by reducing computations involved in automatic viewpoint reproduction. zcu.io/xsiu #virtualreality #samsung

As #AR enabled wearable devices become smaller and move close to user's retina, use of touch screens becomes infeasible. This patent by @Apple describes a method to detect user's touch on a real object by sensing the temperature difference. zcu.io/NZwH

This patent proposes methods to capture and analyse electronic horizons of multiple vehicles to reduce the probability of them arriving at the same point. This could prevent collisions and allow efficient utilisation of a fleet. zcu.io/iSme #autonomous #vehicles

This #patent by @Apple describes a method of interacting with #3D #maps on a mobile device. Instead of scrolling or dragging, the user can move or tilt the device to interact with the real world. zcu.io/XzCo #VR #engineering
