  • ELECTROLYTE FORMULATIONS FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS CONTAINING A SILICON ELECTRODE
    Publication number: 20230155175
    Abstract: Additives to electrolytes that enable the formation of comparatively more robust SEI films on silicon-based anodes. The SEI films in these embodiments are seen to be more robust in part because the batteries containing these materials have higher coulombic efficiency and longer cycle life than comparable batteries without such additives. The additives preferably contain a dicarbonate group or are an organo-metallic hydride.

  • On-line monitoring system for measuring on-state voltage drop of power semiconductor devices
    Patent number: 11398817
    Abstract: An online monitoring system for measuring the on-state voltage drop of power semiconductor devices comprises a voltage withstanding circuit and a voltage clamping circuit, one terminal of the voltage withstanding circuit is connected to one terminal of the voltage clamping circuit, and the other terminals of the voltage withstanding circuit and the voltage clamping circuit are randomly connected to two terminals of the power semiconductor device under test (DUT) respectively. The two terminals of the voltage clamping circuit are output terminals of the online monitoring system. A clamping voltage of the voltage clamping circuit is higher than the on-state voltage drop of the DUT. When the DUT is off, the output voltage of the system is fixed to the clamping voltage, and when it is on, the output voltage is not clamped. The system has simplified structure and enables convenient, accurate and low-cost measurement of on-state voltage drop.

  • Authentication method for a computing device using interactive game board and game piece images
    Patent number: 11354395
    Abstract: An authentication method and system includes a computing device, such as a smart phone, which includes a display for presenting a graphical and interactive game board that is used for entering a user's passcode. During the authentication process, the user selects a game board (e.g. chess, checkers, poker, backgammon, etc.) and associated game pieces for presentation on the display. The user then moves one or more game pieces to locations on the game board. Together, the selected game board, selected game pieces, and the movements and/or locations which the game pieces are moved on the game board form an entered passcode. This generated passcode is then compared with a stored passcode to authenticate the user before granting access to the computing device.

  • Augmented reality authentication methods and systems
    Patent number: 11182465
    Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) authentication method and system provides an AR environment that is presented on a display. The AR environment combines real-world object images captured by a camera with computer generated virtual icons. The virtual icons may be “mapped” to the real-world objects, whereupon the real-world objects take on the characteristics of the mapped images. During an authentication process, a user interacts with the AR environment by a variety of techniques to enter their passcode. Such interaction may include physically moving objects in the real-world so that such movement is reflected in the AR environment; controlling the “mapped” real-world objects through user interaction with the AR environment via an input device; and controlling the virtual icons through user interaction with the AR environment via the input device. Accordingly, if the user interacts with the AR environment in a manner that matches their previously “set” passcode the user is authenticated.
