According to some embodiments, a battery control device has a current detector, a storage, and a state determiner. The current detector detects a current value of a current which flows into a second battery which is connected in parallel to a first battery. The first battery and the second battery are charged with a fixed current. The storage stores an initial value of the current which flows into the second battery if the second battery is charged with the fixed current in an initial use stage of the second battery. The state determiner determines a state of the first battery based on the current value detected by the current detector and the initial value stored in the storage.

According to one embodiment, in a storage cell system, cell lines each formed by connecting a prescribed number of storage cells in series are connected in parallel to form a storage cell module. Each unit is formed by connecting a prescribed number of storage cell modules in parallel. Outputs of a number of units corresponding to load capacity are linked in parallel and supplied to a load. At this time, current is limited to an extent that the storage cells are not damaged by interposing a current-limiting resistor in an output line of the storage cell module.

Communication arrangements wherein each of ONUs of a first or second PON transmits data toward a connected first or second OLT after a wait time period designated by the connected first or second OLT; the first communication device of the first packet communication network sends a first frame for measuring communication time period, to the second communication device of the second packet communication network through the first PON, and sends a second frame for measuring communication time period, to the second communication device through the second PON; and the second communication device calculates a difference of communication time period between the received first and second frames, and instructs the first or second OLT of the first or second PON, for correcting a wait time period which is set to the one or plural ONUs connected to the first or second OLT, based on the difference between communication time periods.

Communication system and communication apparatus

Communication time period measuring frames are simultaneously sent from an OAM adaptive device on a transmission side, to both a working path and a protection path. In an OAM adaptive device on a reception side, reception times of the frames having arrived from both the paths are checked so as to measure a time period difference between both the paths. The time period difference is fed back to a logic distance adjustment function of each PON section to determine required communication time periods of the PON sections respectively included in a working system and a protection system. Communication time periods of the working system and the protection system in a packet communication network are arbitrated in order to decrease a packet loss at line switching in a packet relaying network.

A communication system is provided which allows synchronous devices in different synchronous communication networks to have synchronous communications with one another via an asynchronous communication network. In the communication system of the present invention, a master communication device generates a master clock based on a reference clock which is provided by a clock supplier. The master communication device sends a synchronization information frame, which contains information about the generated master clock, to plural slave communication devices via the asynchronous communication network. The slave communication devices each reproduce the master clock from the received synchronization information frame.

Specific parameters used for calculation of a worst-case parameter can be readily selected. Parameters not suitable for characteristic-value expression are eliminated from principal parameters (step ST,), and model equations are extracted (step ST,). Then, parameter values extracted from the same chip are inserted into the model equations to calculate the characteristic value (step ST,). A correlation coefficient between the calculated and measured characteristic values are obtained (step ST,) to select specific parameters (step ST,).
