Title: Infrared radiation modulating device
Inventor: RUTT HARVEY NICHOLAS
IPC: G02F1/01
Filed: 1996-09-09
Abstract: A non-mechanical modulating device for use in infrared detection. The device is of particular use in the 8-14 Ám range and has application in thermal imaging cameras and gas sensing systems. The modulator comprises a germanium element and a means of varying the carrier concentration. In particular, the variation of the hole concentration gives rise to the absorption of infrared radiation due to interband transitions between the light and heavy hole bands in the split valence band in germanium. The variation in hole concentration may be initiated in any convenient way, for example, by the irradiation of the germanium with visible or near infrared light, by the electrical injection of free carriers across a germanium diode structure or by electron impact on the germanium surface following acceleration under vacuum. In the case where the variation in carrier concentration is initiated by optical means, the surface of the germanium is treated so as to produce a low surface recombination velocity.

Title: Electrolyte for lithium ion battery and lithium ion battery employing the same
Inventor: CHO HUN-GOO
IPC: H01M10/0568
Filed: 1998-08-28
Abstract: An electrolyte for a lithium ion battery containing an organic solvent mixture, lithium metal salt dissolved in the solvent and a surfactant of 0.01#5wt% based on the total weight of the organic solvent mixture and lithium metal salt, and a lithium ion battery employing the electrolyte. By using the electrolyte, a denser and more uniform solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film is formed on the surface of a negative electrode made of carbonic material, such that a side-reaction such as decomposition of the electrolyte is suppressed, thereby reducing irreversible capacity of the battery. Thus, cycle characteristics and life span of the lithium ion battery containing the electrolyte are improved.
