  2. Charge controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_controller

    By way of example, a 150 volt PV array connected to an MPPT charge controller can be used to charge a 24 or 48 volt battery. Higher array voltage means lower array current, so the savings in wiring costs can more than pay for the controller. [citation needed] Charge controllers may also monitor battery temperature to prevent overheating.

  3. Solar-powered calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_calculator

    Solar-powered calculators are hand-held electronic calculators powered by solar cells mounted on the device. [1] They were introduced at the end of the 1970s. [2]Amorphous silicon has been used as a photovoltaic solar cell material for devices which require very little power, such as pocket calculators, because their lower performance compared to conventional crystalline silicon solar cells is ...

  4. Maximum power point tracking - Wikipedia

    A partially disassembled Curta calculator, showing the digit slides and the stepped drum behind them Curta Type I calculator, top view Curta Type I calculator, bottom view. The Curta is a hand-held mechanical calculator designed by Curt Herzstark. [1] It is known for its extremely compact design: a small cylinder that fits in the palm of the hand.

  6. Battery management system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_management_system

    A battery management system (BMS) is any electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery (cell or battery pack) by facilitating the safe usage and a long life of the battery in practical scenarios while monitoring and estimating its various states (such as state of health and state of charge), [1] calculating secondary data, reporting that data, controlling its environment ...

  7. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    Some digital loop controllers offer a self-tuning feature in which very small setpoint changes are sent to the process, allowing the controller itself to calculate optimal tuning values. Another approach calculates initial values via the Ziegler–Nichols method, and uses a numerical optimization technique to find better PID coefficients.

  8. Death clock calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_clock_calculator

    Some media outlets and websites misrepresented the intent of life2vec by calling it a death clock calculator, [6] leading to confusion and speculation about the capabilities of the algorithm. [7] This misinterpretation has also led to fraudulent calculators pretending to use AI-based predictions, often promoted by scammers to deceive users.

  9. Kinect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect

    Kinect is a discontinued line of motion sensing input devices produced by Microsoft and first released in 2010. The devices generally contain RGB cameras, and infrared projectors and detectors that map depth through either structured light or time of flight calculations, which can in turn be used to perform real-time gesture recognition and body skeletal detection, among other capabilities.
