Patent Images
1. A battery monitoring network including a battery node;
- one or more distributed nodes of a first class each including means for acquiring first battery variable information, processing means adapted to manipulate the first battery variable information, and a communication means for communicating with the battery node; and
one or more distributed nodes of a second class each including means for acquiring second battery variable information, processing means adapted to manipulate the second battery variable information, and a communication means for communicating with the battery node, wherein the distributed nodes are arranged in two or more sub-networks, each sub-network communicating with the battery node via a respective sub-network junction, each sub-network including one or more distributed nodes of the first class and one or more distributed nodes of the second class.

20. A battery monitoring network comprising:
-
a battery node; one or more distributed nodes of a first class configured to generate first battery variable information; one or more distributed nodes of a second class configured to generate second battery variable information; and a communications network coupling the battery node, the one or more distributed nodes of the first class, and the one or more nodes of the second class, wherein the battery node, the one or more nodes of the first class and the one or more nodes of the second class are configured to conduct peer-to-peer communications over the communications network. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
