Latest Patents

Kondo is credited with 1 patent: “Voltage Detection Device, Voltage Detection Method, Abnormality Determination Device, Abnormality Determination Method, and Battery Pack System.”

The invention describes a voltage detection device for battery stacks electrically connected by a connection member. Capacitors are connected in parallel with the battery stacks, while switches connect the battery terminals to the capacitors. A detection unit measures capacitor voltage, and a control unit manages the switches. When discharging a capacitor, the control unit selects a path that includes the connection member and the capacitor. The system then determines whether an abnormality has occurred in the battery pack or in one or more switches, based on capacitor voltage after charging or discharging.

Career Highlights

Kondo’s listed patent reflects work on battery monitoring and fault detection. The disclosed approach uses capacitor voltage measurements and controlled discharge paths to help identify abnormalities in battery packs and their switching components.

Collaborations

Kondo’s listed coworkers include Atsushi Izutani and Kazuya Ogawa. His patent work is associated with Fujitsu Ten Limited.
