Abstract: This invention provides an environmental friendly method for the production of high capacity cathode materials for use in Li-ion batteries. Traditional methods for producing lithium mixed metal oxide cathode materials typically generate large amounts of effluent which effluent must be treated prior to discharge. The present process uses mixed metals as raw materials, in a wet chemical reaction with an oxidant, in order to make high-quality metal hydroxide precursors which can be used to prepare high-quality cathode materials after lithiation. As a key feature, in the precursor preparation process, the bulk of the aqueous solution used for the wet chemical reaction can be recycled back to the reactor, so that the total process has little or no effluent generated during production of the cathode precursor material.

Abstract: Techniques for encoding a binary prediction vector for predicting a palette for palette-based video coding is described. In one example, a method of decoding video comprises receiving an encoded binary prediction vector for a current block of video data, decoding the encoded binary prediction vector using a run-length decoding technique, generating a palette for the current block of video data based on the binary prediction vector, the binary prediction vector comprising entries indicating whether or not previously-used palette entries are reused for the palette for the current block of video data, and decoding the current block of video data using the palette.

Abstract: In palette-based coding, a video coder may form a so-called “palette” as a table of colors representing the video data of a given block. The video coder may code index values for one or more pixels values of a current block of video data, where the index values indicate entries in the palette that represent the pixel values of the current block. A method includes determining a palette for a block of video data, identifying escape pixel(s) not associated with any palette entries, identifying a single quantization parameter (QP) value for all escape pixels of the block for a given color channel using a QP value for non-palette based coding of transform coefficients, dequantizing each escape pixel using the identified QP value, and determining pixel values of the block using the dequantized escape pixels and index values for any pixel(s) associated with any palette entries.
