TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Model-Based Prognostics For Batteries (TOP2-144)

NASA's Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology.  License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use.  NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses.THE TECHNOLOGY: Battery-powered devices have become ubiquitous in the modern world, from tiny headsets, to cameras, cell phones and laptops, to hybrid and electric vehicles.  Effective Battery Health Monitoring (BHM) technologies are needed to ensure that battery operation is optimal and, if not, that it stays within design limits and warnings are provided to operators or automated actions are taken to mitigate damage when these limits are exceeded. BHM technologies protect the assets batteries from degradation due to non-optimal usage.   Prediction of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of a systems component is at the center of effectively

managing a systems health.  This invention provides as many as eight different prognostic modes for estimating the state of charge, state of life, end of discharge, and/or end of life of a battery.   These estimates help in making predictions of the remaining useful life for individual discharge cycles as well as for cycle life.To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA's Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/TOP2-144If you have any questions, please contact Ames Research Center ARC-TechTransfer@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information.  For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/These responses are provided to members of NASA's Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities.  No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
