Patent number: 8637134Abstract: Vented plastic stretch film and a method of making the film in which elongated reinforcement strips are applied to a base sheet, each reinforcement strip including a cord-like, reinforcement member formed from plastic film and a flat, narrow film strip covering the reinforcement member. Vent holes are formed from slits between the reinforcement members by applying tensional forces to the base sheet.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2010Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Alliance Plastics, LLCInventors: Arthur Norman Aronsen, Jaime Nelson Barfield, Luis Arturo Lopez, Jason Zhao

Patent number: 8339403Abstract: Architecture that enhances the visual experience of a slide presentation by animating slide content as “actors” in the same background “scene”. This is provided by multi-layered transitions between slides, where a slide is first separated into “layers” (e.g., with a level of transparency). Each layer can then be transitioned independently. All layers are composited together to accomplish the end effect. The layers can comprise one or more content layers, and a background layer. The background layer can further be separated into a background graphics layer and a background fill layer. The transition phase can include a transition effect such as a fade, a wipe, a dissolve effect, and other desired effects. To provide the continuity and uniformity of presentation the content on the same background scene, a transition effect is not applied to the background layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2008Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jason Zhao, Mark Pearson, Peter Lai

Patent number: 8048558Abstract: A nickel-zinc battery cell is formed with a negative can, a positive cap, and a jelly roll of electrochemically active positive and negative materials within. The inner surface of the can is protected with an anticorrosive material that may be coated or plated onto the can. Good electrical contact between the jelly roll and the cap is achieved through folding the nickel substrate over to contact a positive current collection disk.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2009Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: PowerGenix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Phillips, Franz Josef Kruger, Samaresh Mohanta, Sean Clinton, Ernest M. Rimanosky, Jason Zhao, Cecilia Maske, Zheng Gang Fan

Publication number: 20110039139Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a rechargeable power cell are described. Methods include providing a slurry or paste of negative electrode materials having low toxicity and including dispersants to prevent the agglomeration of particles that may adversely affect the performance of power cells. The methods utilize semi-permeable sheets to separate the electrodes and minimize formation of dendrites; and further provide electrode specific electrolyte to achieve efficient electrochemistry and to further discourage dendritic growth in the cell. The negative electrode materials may be comprised of zinc and zinc compounds. Zinc and zinc compounds are notably less toxic than the cadmium used in NiCad batteries. The described methods may utilize some production techniques employed in existing NiCad production lines. Thus, the methods described will find particular use in an already well-defined and mature manufacturing base.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2010Publication date: February 17, 2011Applicant: POWERGENIX SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey Phillips, Jason Zhao

Publication number: 20100293330Abstract: One or more transition images are displayed during a transition period between a display of slides within a presentation. The displayed transition images include images of different slides that are contained within the presentation. The transition images provide the audience with a glimpse of slides that are displayed within the presentation. For example, the transition images may include images from previous and future slides that are contained within the presentation. The transition images may also be cached in order to more efficiently display the transition images during the transition period.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2009Publication date: November 18, 2010Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christopher Michael Maloney, Daly Chang, Esther Ho, Jason Zhao, Mark Pearson

Publication number: 20100092857Abstract: A nickel zinc battery cell includes a metallic zinc-based current collection substrate as a part of the negative electrode. The metallic zinc-based current collector may be made of or be coated with a zinc metal or zinc alloy material and may be a foil, perforated, or expanded material. Battery cells incorporating the zinc-based current collector exhibit good cycle lifetime and initial charge performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2008Publication date: April 15, 2010Applicant: POWERGENIX SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey Phillips, Samaresh Mohanta, Zheng Gang Fan, Ru Jun Ma, Feng Feng, Lou Uzel, Chi Yau, Jason Zhao, Zeiad M.
