Much before @Tesla, Thomas Edison had proposed an electric motor powered car (which could only move in one direction). fastscience.tv/summary/electr…

Who do you think has contributed more to the progress of mankind?

This #patent (US010071643) by Emerging Automotive (cited 264 times) enables the user to track the status of their #EVs auxiliary #battery and notifies them with the list of nearby charge units so that they can plan their journey accordingly. zurl.co/Gv2C 2/2

Wouldn't it be convenient if your #EV plans your route based on battery status and availability of nearby charging stations? 1/2

#Battery performance monitoring is critical for understanding its cell capacity, lifetime and reliability. This patent (cited 222 times) proposes a novel method to analyse the usage environment and operating conditions of a battery to enhance its performance. #EV #energy

#EV components such as motors and air conditioning systems dissipate a lot of heat during vehicle's operation. Can this heat be recaptured to be used efficiently? For example to regulate battery temperature. This #patent by Thunder Power cited over 41 times tries to explore.

@cloutplatforms Possibly, in near future this is not something #EV drivers have to worry about as we embrace #wireless #charging fastscience.tv/summary/automa…

@checkfit Range anxiety, lack of charging infrastructure, upfront cost. Though the solutions seem within reach as #EV companies race to innovate and tackle these challenges. You can stay upto date with #EV innovations here. fastscience.tv/collections/x4…

Petrol is Rs 101 in Mumbai ! Ever wonder why they do not want everyone to go EV/solar ? #renewables #ElectricVehicles

Stubble burning chokes millions of people in Northern India every year. A #patent by @ibrumtech proposes a method for making #eco-friendly bio-bricks from agro-waste turning this #carbonvolcano into a #carbonsink. #worldenvironmentday zcu.io/FTaw

@ResearcherLife_ Patent literature stays relatively unexplored due to overwhelming volume of data. @fastscience_tv is changing that by publishing interactive patent summaries for researchers and students. #content #discovery for #patents. fastscience.tv

#Academicpublishing has changed rapidly over the past few decades. Amid these changes, speed, efficiency, and ease of use have emerged as the need of the hour, giving rise to many content discovery platforms, apps and smart tools for #researchers: ow.ly/YqQD50EVFHV

@adyckovsky @OpenAcademics @hapyresearchers @PhDVoice @PhD_Genie @fastscience_tv publishes interactive patent summaries to make #patents accessible and interesting for researchers and students.

How can we minimise electricity costs while charging #EVs? This popular #patent (cited 181 times) shares some interesting insights about scheduling delayed charging and using a combustion engine to charge #EV battery when levels are critically low. zcu.io/TEd

Why can't all #EVs be rapidly charged? Rapid charging heats up the battery and reduces battery life. This #patent by Lightening Energy (cited 75 times) proposes a rapid charging method which limits #battery overheating using coolant #technology. zcu.io/bHMC

Would you buy an #EV which charges itself without you ever stepping out of it? This popular #patent (cited 99 times) by @Proterra Inc. proposes a novel method to charge an electric bus using an adaptable overhead charging station. zcu.io/gkxY

Gloves act as a barrier and degrade touch sensor's ability to capture multiple inputs. This #patent by @Apple proposes a method to detect touch with barriers (like gloves) and can be especially useful for healthcare workers. zcu.io/Qpiw #apple #engineering

In this #patent, Samsung discloses techniques for viewing events in the real world along with #VR content. Physical harm or external risks can be quickly identified and presented on the VR device without interrupting the VR experience. zcu.io/oDGw

@Apple has proposed a charging pad on which multiple devices can be placed at the same time. This #patent shows how transmitter coils are layered on top of each other to generate a wider magnetic flux to charge multiple devices. zcu.io/dwSh #apple #engineering

@Apple may be interested in building a #touch #stylus featuring capacitive touch, magnetic coupling, wireless charging and wireless communication with the device. In this #patent summary, we break down the proposed stylus. zcu.io/NQSt

A connected #IoT oven can stream live video of the food being cooked right to your #mobile device. Read more in this #patent granted to @fluidquiptech. zcu.io/K1qc

Do you know that naturally occurring compounds like Menthol, Linalool and Icilin can prevent neuronal damage from brain trauma safely and without side-effects? Read this #patent granted to @NestecInc to learn more. zcu.io/iMDZ
