Patent number: 10355277Abstract: The present invention pertains to the selection of cathode materials. The cathode materials of concern are the conducting polymer or backbone and the redox active species or sulfur species. The selection of the materials is based on the characteristics of the materials relating to the other components of the batteries and to each other. The present invention also pertains to the resultant cathode materials, particularly a selected cathode material of a single component sulfur-based conducting polymer with the sulfur species covalently linked to the conducting polymer, and most particularly a thiophene based polymer with covalently linked sulfur species. The conducting polymers have been covalently-derivatized with sulfides and/or sulfide-containing groups as battery cathode materials. The present invention also pertains to a battery employing the selection method and resultant cathode materials.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2015Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: The Blue Sky Group, Inc.Inventors: John Pope, Dan Buttry, Shannon White, Robert Corcoran

Patent number: 9454516Abstract: A method of ambiguous word review or correction for a handheld electronic device includes receiving a plurality of actuations of input members in which each of a number of these members has a plurality of assigned characters, rendering a plurality of words responsive to the actuations, displaying a plurality of representations of the words, and detecting a number of the words, which are ambiguous. For each of the detected number, a visual indicator is displayed associated with a corresponding one of the representations. Touching of a touch screen is detected in connection with the displayed visual indicator. Preferably, a first magnification of the corresponding representation and a second magnification of a representation of a number of alternative words are displayed. The touch screen can be used to select one of the first and second magnifications to correct the ambiguous word.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2008Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Steven H. Fyke, Peter La, Alen Mujkic, Michal Rybak, Richard Sibley, Neil Adams, Vadim Fux, Shannon White
