Abstract: A hard mask includes a silicon oxide layer provided on a bare silicon wafer; and a silicon nitride layer provided on the silicon oxide layer, wherein the silicon nitride is provided with a first pattern, the silicon oxide layer is provided with a second pattern corresponding to the first pattern, the first pattern and the second pattern have different shapes, and the first pattern and the second pattern are configured to assist in forming a Josephson junction on the bare silicon wafer.

Abstract: A method for monitoring acceleration of a number A of axes of a multi-axis kinematic system utilizes a sampling process with a first sampling interval, wherein a first acceleration limit value assigned to the first sampling interval and a second different acceleration limit value is determined for the acceleration, where a second time interval is assigned to the second acceleration limit value, a plurality of position values of the axis is determined by sampling with the first sampling interval, a current acceleration is calculated via the ascertained position values, and the calculated current acceleration is monitored via a first instance of monitoring utilizing the first acceleration limit value and the assigned first sampling interval and, simultaneously, via a second instance of monitoring utilizing the second acceleration limit value and the assigned second time interval, such that acceleration of an axis is monitored using at least two acceleration limit values simultaneously.

Abstract: Compact battery-based energy storage systems are disclosed. An example battery-based energy storage device includes: an energy storage inverter; a transformer; a fire extinguisher system; a first battery chamber; a second battery chamber, and an air conditioner system that is configured to provide air conditioning to the first battery chamber and the second battery chamber. The first battery chamber and the second battery chamber are separated by a wall structure and each has its independent air conditioning. The dimensions of the battery-based energy storage device are substantially same as those of a standard 20 ft container. The first battery chamber, the second battery chamber, and the wall structure may equal to inner width of the battery-based energy storage. The battery-based energy storage device may also comprise a ventilation opening of battery set at a top of the first battery chamber and/or the second battery chamber.

Abstract: An example battery-based energy storage device that comprises: a battery chamber configured to host a plurality of rechargeable battery packs; an operation chamber separated from the battery chamber by at least an insulation board; an energy storage inverter mounted on the operation chamber; a battery control box mounted on the operation chamber and configured to control one or more operations of the plurality of rechargeable battery packs; a first door rotatably mounted on the battery chamber; a second door rotatably mounted on the battery chamber. The first door and the second door open outward and are on opposite sides of the battery chamber; and a third door rotatably mounted on the operation chamber. The energy storage inverter is configured to convert AC to DC when charging a rechargeable battery pack and to convert DC to AC when providing power to an external device from a rechargeable battery pack.

Abstract: A multifunctional all-terrain walking-type hydraulic excavator includes a multifunctional working apparatus (2), a cab (3), a slew assembly (4), a slewing bearing (6), and a walking-type chassis (5). By means of a hydraulic capstan (5.9) arranged at the forward end of the chassis (5), the excavator is able to perform self-rescue and towing assistance. The walking-type chassis (5) adapts to terrain through adjustments of the swing angles of the forward and rear legs (5.2, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6) and thus is able to walk and operate in difficult terrain.
