摘要： Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that accurately and reliably updates a full charge capacity of a battery. During operation, the system charges the battery from an initial state to a rest point prior to reaching a fully charged state. The system then interrupts the charging process to allow the battery to relax to a resting voltage. Next, the system measures the resting voltage. The system then resumes the charging process toward the fully charged state. The system subsequently estimates the capacity of the battery based on the measured resting voltage and one or more other parameters.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for calibrating a fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) to compensate for wavelength fluctuations. The wavelength of the light propagating in the gyroscope is accurately determined by obtaining wavelength indicia for light originally produced by the sensor light source and for light produced by a reference light source. The wavelength indicia may include normalized power values, such as sum and difference indicia, obtained from two outputs of a wavelength division multiplexer. Such information can be used to determine the wavelength of light produced by the sensor light source, and to adjust a scale factor or other operating parameter of the gyroscope as a function of the determined wavelength. This adjustment, in turn, can be used to compensate the output of the sensor to account for wavelength variations.
