 Software for configuring and delivering power

Details
Inventors: Potega, Patrick Henry;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Rodriguez; Paul L.
Assistant Examiner: Cabrera; Zoila
Attorney, Agent or Firm:

Software (101 and 800) which interacts with either embedded (100) or external (400) hardware assemblies, for processes (330 to 356) such as acquiring power-related values (342), principally by the use of a connector (132) that accesses a battery (134), in order for a processor (102) to calculate an optimized power signal (338), and then to configure an output (344) of a power supply (122) to deliver the power signal to a powered device (136).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A system for configuring an output of a configurable power supply, comprising: interfacing means for electrically coupling said power supply to independently and simultaneously access both a previously unknown battery-powered device and an installed battery thereof, said coupling resulting in the power supply being capable of bypassing said battery as a source of power for the powered device, without limiting said battery's ability to automatically access said device; preloading means for temporarily electrically coupling to the battery at least one of one or more substantial resistive loads, said resistive loads being capable of combining in order to vary the coupled load; processing means accessible to said power supply for executing program instructions embodied on a computer-readable medium, comprising: detecting means for acquiring at least one value as to voltage sag resulting from said preloading; analyzing means for evaluating the acquired voltage-sag value and determining an anticipated fully-charged battery voltage; said analyzing means further for producing an output voltage value of the configurable power supply by performing in a work space at least one of one or more predetermined computations based on acquired and memorized voltage values, and controlling means accessible to said processing means and power supply for configuring the output voltage of the power supply to said previously produced output voltage value, whereby, said power supply delivers a suitably configured power signal to said device.
2.
The system of claim 1, wherein said analyzing means includes said predetermined computations based on memorized voltage values that are stored in a look-up table comprising at least one of one or more substantial matrices of battery design parameters.
3.
The system of claim 1, wherein said configurable power supply is a module so interposed as to be electrically coupled between a fixed-voltage power supply and said battery, whereby the interposed module reconfigures an inputted fixed voltage signal to be then output as a voltage signal of a value determined by said analyzing means
