Title: Dopant for electrolyte
Inventor: UMAROV GEORGY R
IPC: H01M10/056
Filed: 2011-09-07
Abstract: The method includes doping into an electrolyte an intermetallid compound additive, the binding energy of which is higher than the binding energy of combinations generated at discharge of a secondary power source. The intermetallid may have the formula A(N-2)/2C(N+2)/2B8-N, where A is a metal, C is a metal or a metalloid and B is a metal or a metalloid, which is particularly effective for acid-lead batteries.

Title: Time sensitive transaction over an asynchronous serial link
Inventor: THOUMY FRANCOIS
IPC: H04L47/22
Filed: 2012-07-13
Abstract: In a time-diverse multi-GHz wireless network employing asynchronous messages on a serial link (330) having significant in-transit latency (fig. 2), messages (eg. control messages CM) are blocked from being relayed to the receiver (102) until a timer triggered by a synchronisation message (or conditional message, CDM) expires.

Title: Wave motion modeling
Inventor: GELLER ROBERT
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2009-11-20
Abstract: Numerical analysis of wave motion in a finite region of an elastic body, such as the earth, which is carried out using a time-domain finite-difference scheme. A stiffness matrix I-I' is designed, where a spatial first-order difference operator, which operates on a state vector, and a displacement vector at each discrete grid point is P, and the matrix of elastic constants is C. The mass matrix T' is derived using finite-difference approximations at the discrete grid points so that the result of tile matrix Trun operating on a state vector corresponding to rotations or translations is 0, where T is a positive definite diagonal mass matrix and OT"" = T' -T. The simulation may be used for processing seismological data for oilfield drilling or reducing earthquake risks.

Title: Drive circuit for power transistor
Inventor: GIBSON RICHARD SAMUEL
IPC: H03K17/0412
Filed: 2013-02-28
Abstract: A speed-up capacitor Ccontrol allows a rapid initial turn-on of an IGBT 4 so that the drain voltage initially falls quickly, thereby reducing transistor dissipation. As the speed-upÂ capacitor becomes charged the gate drive current is reduced and the drain voltage then falls more slowly, thereby reducing interference. A speed-up capacitor may also be disposed in a turn-off circuit (C1, figure 3).
