An apparatus is disclosed that includes a resistance measuring unit operable to determine a solution resistance Rsol and a charge transfer resistance Rct of a battery; and at least one computer-readable non-transitory storage medium comprising code, that, when executed by at least one processor, is operable to provide an estimate of the present value of the battery by: comparing Rsol and Rct to historical deterioration transition information; estimating the number of remaining charge cycles before a discharge capacity lower limit is reached by the battery using the comparison; and estimating the number of remaining charge cycles before a discharge time lower limit is reached by the battery using the comparison. The estimate of the present value of the battery includes the smaller of the number of remaining charge cycles before a discharge capacity lower limit is reached or the number of remaining charge cycles before a discharge time lower limit is reached.

Battery diagnosis device and method

A computer readable medium having computer readable program code means embodied therein, the computer program code means comprising a code that presents a user with architecture information in which framework candidates are hierarchically classified according to properties, and accepts a designation of a framework, of the candidates, which are to be included in a system as a development target from the user, a code that supports the user to determine a reference model representing a general structure of the system, a code that supports the user to extract an object to be included in the system, in accordance with the reference model determined by the user, and a code that supports the user to develop the system, on the basis of the framework designated by the user and the object extracted by the user.

Computer readable medium, method, and system for supporting system development

A monitoring system is constructed using a frameworkdescribed by an object-oriented language. The frameworkincludes a model partfor holding data relating to an external apparatus serving as an object to be monitored, a view partprovided between the monitoring system and a user, a proxy partfor exchanging data between the monitoring system and the external apparatus in accordance with a predetermined protocol, and a controller part. The controller partcontrols data of the model part, and connects the model partwith the view partto provide various services for the external apparatus on the basis of data which are given from the user or the external apparatus. The proxy partconverts communication data into a format of internal data which is handled in the monitoring system. Thus, it is possible to provide a service providing system capable of improving the stability of the architecture of a software against specification change and extension, and of improving the reusability and change facility of the software.
