Latest Patent Applications
Kurihara's notable patent application is titled "SOLAR CELL POWER SUPPLY DEVICE AND RECHARGEABLE BATTERY SOLAR CHARGING METHOD." This application describes a charging operation controlling portion that manages the charging current or voltage when a battery pack is charged with electric power generated by a solar panel. The system includes a current detecting portion that monitors the charging current of the battery pack and a voltage detecting portion that measures the battery voltage. When the battery pack approaches a fully charged state, the charging operation controlling portion cuts off the charging current at predetermined timing for a charging operation stop period. It then compares the battery voltage with a predetermined restart voltage value to determine if the battery pack is fully charged.
Conclusion
