  • Patent number: 10720183
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electronic device for generating a multiple point of view (MPOV) video and the method thereof. The present disclosure involves the electronic device to obtain a plurality of media contents. The electronic device would identify a first media content relating to a second media content in time and location according to time information, audio information, and location information including a geographic tag and a surrounding signal information. Then, the first media content and the second media content are provided as relevant media contents for generating the MPOV video of the event having the relevant media content captured from different point of view.

  • Patent number: 10329163
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a nickel oxide fine powder that is suitable as a material for electronic parts and has a controlled sulfur content, a low chlorine content, and a fine particle size and a method for industrially and stably producing such a nickel oxide fine powder. Nickel hydroxide obtained by neutralizing an aqueous nickel sulfate solution with an alkali is heat-treated in a non-reducing atmosphere at a temperature higher than 850° C. but lower than 1050° C. to form nickel oxide particles, and a sintered compact of nickel oxide particles that may be formed during the heat treatment is pulverized by preferably allowing the nickel oxide particles to collide with one another. The thus obtained nickel oxide fine powder has a sulfur content of 400 mass ppm or less, a chlorine content of 50 mass ppm or less, a sodium content of 100 mass ppm or less, and a specific surface area of 3 m2/g or more but less than 6 m2/g.

  • Patent number: 8288053
    Abstract: This invention provides a nickel oxide powder material, a production process thereof with high efficiency, a raw material composition for use in the same, and an anode material using the nickel oxide powder material. The nickel oxide powder material, when used as an anode material for a solid oxide fuel cell, can reduce heat shrinkage percentage in calcination to reduce a shrinkage difference from other component, and can suppress the occurrence of cracking, delamination, warpage and the like during calcining. Also in power generation after re-reduction after exposure of the anode once to an oxidizing atmosphere, for example, due to the disruption of the fuel supply, deterioration of microstructure of the anode can be suppressed, and the voltage drop percentage of the cell can be reduced.
