Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for preparing lithium iron phosphate from ferric hydroxyphosphate, including: purifying ferrous sulfate to form a ferrous sulfate solution, adding hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric acid, an ammonium dihydrogen phosphate solution and ammonia water into the ferrous sulfate solution and then reacting to form a mixed slurry, holding the mixed slurry at a temperature for a period of time, and then washing with water and subjecting to press filtration to form ferric hydroxyphosphate precursors with different iron-phosphorus ratios; then flash drying, sintering at a high temperature, and pulverizing to obtain ferric hydroxyphosphate precursors with different iron-phosphorus ratios and different specific surface areas.

Abstract: Interactive multi-view video presents a new type of video capture system. Many video cameras are allocated to capture an event from various related locations and directions. The captured videos are compressed in control PCs and are sent to a server in real-time. The compressed video can also be transcoded through an off-line compression approach to further reduce the data amount. Users can subscribe to a new type of service that allows users to connect to the servers and receive multi-view videos interactively.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing EIC pattern analysis is described. Pattern feature extraction is performed followed by EIC symbol segmentation. A system may later use the result from the pattern analysis to determine a location of a captured image in relation to a larger array of EIC symbols.

Abstract: The universal input device provides a common user interface for a variety of different computing platforms including printed documents. Using the present system, one may use the universal input device to control various computing devices as well as capture handwritten electronic ink and have the electronic ink be associated with new or stored documents. The universal input device can be identified by a specific identification in order to allow for multiple users to operate on a document and/or within an application program simultaneously or not. An off-set optical system with infrared illumination handles perspective and helps detect positional encoding which can be covered by existing ink under common visible light illumination.

Abstract: Interactive multi-view video presents new types of video capture systems, video formats, video compression algorithms, and services. Many video cameras are allocated to capture an event from various related locations and directions. The captured videos are compressed and are sent to a server in real-time. Users can subscribe to a new type of service that allows users to connect to the servers and receive multi-view videos interactively. In addition to conventional playing controls, users can manipulate controls to the camera positions and orientations, select viewing directions and enjoy special effects such as a sweeping effect and a freeze-and-rotate effect, and so on. Interactive multi-view video provides a brand-new experience in watching events.
