Abstract: The loss in delivered capacity (capacity fade) after cycling non-aqueous rechargeable lithium manganese oxide batteries at elevated temperatures can be greatly reduced by depositing a small amount of certain foreign metal species on the surface of spinel in the cathode. In particular the foreign metal species are from compounds having either bismuth, lead, lanthanum, barium, zirconium, yttrium, strontium, zinc or magnesium. The foreign metal species are introduced to the surface of spinel by moderately heating either an aqueous treated mixture or a dry mixture of ready-made spinel and the foreign metal compound.

Title: Methode et appareillage pour eliminer les defauts d'images numeriques
Inventor: RICARD GARY ROSS
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2001-03-02
Granted: 2009-09-15
Abstract: Un défaut relativement long et étroit dans une image numérique est corrigé par le repérage de la zone allongée à corriger, puis par le calcul automatique des valeurs de nuance de couleur des pixels dans la zone à corriger à partir des valeurs des pixels à proximité du périmètre de la zone allongée. Idéalement, l'utilisateur détermine la zone rectangulaire allongée à corriger sur un appareil d'affichage interactif. L'ordinateur génère automatiquement les coordonnées des pixels d'une paire de lignes parallèles constituant les bords longs opposés du rectangle, puis un ensemble de segments de ligne entre les bords longs. Les pixels à l'intérieur du rectangle sont ensuite remplis par l'interpolation de valeurs de couleur le long de chaque segment de ligne. Comme ce processus ne garantit pas que tous les pixels seront remplis, le système tient en option une carte des pixels remplis et non remplis pendant l'exécution du processus. Après la fin du processus, il exécute une étape supplémentaire en établissant pour chaque pixel non rempli une valeur en fonction de la moyenne de tous les pixels adjacents. Pour les longs défauts étroits, notamment ceux créés par les plis, ce processus de correction automatique d'image numérique produit généralement des images sans défaut visible important et ce, sans effort inutile de la part de l'utilisateur.

Abstract: A CD changer support device mountable in a trunk forming a luggage compartment of a motorcycle, includes a storage recess to store a CD changer.  The storage recess is provided in a luggage compartment-forming wall of the trunk.  A swing support device allows the CD changer to swing between a protruding position where the opening of the CD changer protrudes inside the luggage compartment and a storage position where the CD changer is stored within the storage recess. A cover plate covers the CD changer. When the CD changer is in the storage position, the cover plate blocks the opening of the storage recess so as to be flush with the inner surface of the luggage compartment-forming wall. When an operating force is applied to the swing support device, the CD changer swings between the protruding position and the storage position.

Abstract: The nozzle of an acoustic jet directs high momentum flux gas particles essentially tangentially into the boundary layer of the flow in a diffuser, an engine air inlet, a jet engine gas flow path or on the suction surface of an airfoil, the gas particles in the chamber of the tangential acoustic jet being replenished with approaching low momentum flux particles drawn from the gas flow in a direction normal to the surface, thereby to provide a net time-averaged flow of increased momentum flux particles to defer the onset of boundary layer separation and/or reduce the thickness of the boundary layer. The acoustic jet is driven by a gas pressure oscillation generator which may be a loudspeaker, a resonant solenoid piston, a cranked piston, or the like.

Granted: 2007-07-03
Abstract: Improved methods for forming fine particles of a material have been developed, wherein the method steps include dissolving the material in a solvent to form a dilute solution, immobilizing the dilution solution, and then removing the solvent to yield particles of the material. Methods of immobilizing the dilute solution include freezing, gelation, and chelation. In a preferred embodiment, the immobilized solvent is removed by lyophilization, i.e. reducing the ambient pressure while avoiding application of sufficient heat to power a phase transition. Essentially any material and solvent for the material can be used in the methods described herein. Proteins and peptides in an aqueous solvent are the preferred systems.

Abstract: Hollow-core photonic-bandgap fiber is used in fiber optic Sagnac interferometers, including but not limited to fiber optic gyroscopes. Use of the hollow-core photonic-bandgap fiber reduces Rayleigh backscattering and Kerr effects, which otherwise would introduce phase shift into light propagating through the optical fiber and result in errors in the output of the interferometer. Narrowband light sources, such as semiconductor lasers currently employed for telecommunication applications, which provide increased wavelength stability, as well as broadband light sources, can be used to drive the fiber optic interferometers. Modulation can also be employed to improve the accuracy of the output of these sensors.
