Title: Running bidirectional recurrent neural networks in hardware
Inventor: BISWARUP CHOUDHURY
IPC: G06N3/063
Filed: 2021-06-30
Abstract: Implementing a bidirectional recurrent neural network (BRNN) in hardware. The BRNN operates on a sequence of inputs. Each step of the BRNN operates on: an input; a corresponding backward state regarding a subsequent input; and a corresponding forward state regarding a preceding input. A representation of the BRNN is transformed into an equivalent derivative neural network comprising a forward recurrent neural network (RNN) and a backward RNN which operate on the forward and backward states, respectively. The BRNN may be transformed into the derivative neural network by identifying non-causal operations for performance without dependence on the forward or backward state and forming a non-causal layer of the derivative neural network by grouping the non-causal operations such that the non-causal layer processes inputs in parallel at the hardware. Such grouping may comprise combining non-causal operations into a single convolution. The forward and backward operations may be independent, and implementing the derivative neural network in hardware may comprise allocating forward and backward indices to each input such that the first input of the sequence according to the forward index is the last input of the sequence according to the backward index and vice versa.

Title: Method of recycling nickel from waste battery material
Inventor: BARBARA BREEZE
IPC: C22B23/02
Filed: 2021-08-11
Abstract: A method for recycling nickel from waste material obtained from the cathodes of battery cells is described. This waste battery material, which comprises a nickel containing oxide, is reduced under a hydrogen atmosphere so that at least some nickel is converted to a zero-oxidation state. This reduced battery material is then reacted with carbon monoxide, CO, to form nickel carbonyl, Ni(CO)4. This nickel tetracarbonyl is then further reacted with a source of sulphate such as sulphuric acid, H2SO4, to give nickel sulphate, NiSO4. The H2 and CO generated as a by-product of the reaction between Ni(CO)4 and H2SO4 may be recycled back into the process and used for the initial reduction and carbonylation reactions. The NiSO4 produced may be used as a feedstock for the manufacture of battery material. All reactions are preferably carried out in the gas-phase with the reduction and carbonylation reactions taking place in less than one hour.

Title: Method for safe pyrolysis and impurity removal of waste lithium battery and application
Inventor: HAIJUN YU
IPC: H01M10/54
Filed: 2021-12-30
Abstract: Disclosed are a method for safe pyrolysis and impurity removal of a waste lithium battery and an application. The method comprises the following steps: performing primary roasting and quenching on electrode fragments of the waste lithium battery, and then screening to obtain fragments of a current collector and an electrode material; mixing and grinding the electrode material and a grinding aid, adding the mixture into alkali liquor for soaking, filtering and taking filter residues to obtain electrode powder; and performing secondary roasting on the electrode powder to obtain a positive electrode material. According to the method of the present invention, the bonding performance of a binder is reduced by performing primary roasting on the electrode fragments of the waste lithium battery, and meanwhile, the surface temperature of the electrode fragments of the waste lithium battery is rapidly decreased; because notches of the fragments of the current collector (aluminum foil and copper foil) are thinner, the temperature at the notch parts is decreased more quickly, contractility is first generated, and the notches of the fragments of the current collector are curled quickly; and therefore, openings of the fragments of the current collector and the electrode material of the waste lithium battery are larger, and the electrode material of the waste lithium battery is easier to fall off after screening.
