Alternatively, or additionally, these systems, methods, and apparatuses can transform the three-dimensional reflection model of the object onto a two-dimensional reflection model of the object and/or provide the two-dimensional reflection model of the object to the real-world structure to display the object on the real-world structure.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the removal of hydrogen sulfide, vapor phase thiols, carbonyl sulfide, and combinations thereof, from gas/vapor streams are provided through the utilization of a regenerable formulated media. The compositions may include a bound complex treated-activated carbon media (BCT-AC media). The compositions and methods provide advantages over current known technologies by reducing the number of required process steps and resulting reduction in capital and operating costs, as well as elimination of aqueous phase processes that are expensive to operate and generate unwanted waste by products. Additionally, the compositions and methods provided remove hydrogen sulfide as recoverable elemental sulfur and are ideally suited for gas/vapor phase applications where carbon dioxide may be present as it has no process or economic impact on the compositions or methods.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to a method for analyzing magnetic impurities and materials in lithium hydroxide monohydrate. Any magnetic materials (e.g., Cr, Fe, Co, Nd, Ni, Sm, and other rare earth elements) in the lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM) are recovered by a neodymium, glass-encased magnetic stir bar and then subjected to acid digestion. The digested LHM samples are analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) or Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The inventive method provides a standardized procedure for analyzing or measuring magnetic impurities in the LHM samples to determine if the LHM end product meets a lithium-ion battery manufacturer's specifications for battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate.

Abstract: Systems and methods utilize a data change repository that supplements existing data in a database by storing various data labels for each record. Each data label comprises a first data characteristic comprising a stateless value and a second data characteristic that comprises a modification characteristic of the stateless value.

As the labels are used for the identification and/or validation (as opposed to the underlying data itself), the systems and methods do not affect, and function despite, security protocols, access restrictions, and/or viewing rights.

Abstract: Particular embodiments provide a variable, BitDepth, that may be set at a value based on a number of bits used to represent pixels in pictures of a video. The variable may be used in syntax elements in HEVC, such as the HEVC range extension, but other coding standards may be used. By using the variable, different resolutions for the video may be accommodated during the encoding and decoding process. For example, the number of pixels in the pictures may be represented by 8 bits, 10 bits, 12 bits, or another number of bits depending on the resolution. Using the BitDepth variable in the syntax provides flexibility in the motion estimation and motion compensation process. For example, syntax elements used in the weighted prediction process may take into account different numbers of bits used to represent the pictures.
