Patent number: 11422199Abstract: A used battery is discharged for a short time from a first Open Circuit Voltage (OCV1) to a second OCV2 and the discharge current ?Q measured. OCV1 is input to a calibration curve model to obtain a first modeled State of Charge (SOC1) value, and OCV2 is input to the calibration curve model to obtain a second modeled SOC2 value. The State of Health (SOH) is calculated as ?Q/[Qnew×(SOC1?SOC2)], where Qnew is the battery capacity when new. The used battery is sorted for reuse or disposal based on the SOH value. The calibration curve model is obtained by Artificial Intelligence (AI) modeling of OCV, SOC datapoints from fully charging and discharging used batteries. Only OCV values within a target region having a low first derivative of SOC as a function of OCV are modeled, and OCV1 and OCV2 are within this target region.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2021Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company LimitedInventors: Minjie Xu, Yaofeng Sun

Patent number: 11424158Abstract: A method comprises depositing a barrier layer on a dielectric layer to prevent oxidation of a metal layer to be deposited by electroplating due to an oxide present in the dielectric layer and depositing a doped liner layer on the barrier layer to bond with the metal layer to be deposited on the liner layer by the electroplating. The dopant forms a protective passivation layer on a surface of the liner layer and dissolves during the electroplating so that the metal layer deposited on the liner layer by the electroplating bonds with the liner layer. The dopant reacts with the dielectric layer and forms a layer of a compound between the barrier layer and the dielectric layer. The compound layer prevents oxidation of the barrier layer and the liner layer due to the oxide present in the dielectric layer and adheres the barrier layer to the dielectric layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: LAM RESEARCH CORPORATIONInventors: Yezdi N.

Patent number: 11424093Abstract: Within a direct current hybrid circuit breaker (DC HCB), a commutation unit (CU) is provided in a semiconductor switch path in series with a semiconductor switch to facilitate opening the DC HCB. The semiconductor switch path is connected in parallel with a mechanical switch path that includes a mechanical switch. The CU is a controlled voltage source which applies a reverse biased voltage on the semiconductor switch path. The CU causes the current through the mechanical switch to ramp down while the current through the semiconductor switch ramps up to a supply current. The CU maintains the current through the mechanical switch to remain at a zero vale by compensating for the voltage drop across the semiconductor switch and the self-inductance of the semiconductor switch path. The mechanical switch can open without current and against no recovery voltage.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: The Florida State University Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Michael Steurer, Fang Peng

Patent number: 11423597Abstract: Methods of removing text from digital video or still images are disclosed. An image processing system receives an input image set defining a region of interest (ROI) that contains text. The system determines an input background color for the ROI. The system applies a text infilling function to remove text from the ROI to yield a preliminary output image set. The system may determine a residual corrective signal that corresponds to a measurement of background color error between the input set and the preliminary output set. The system may apply the residual corrective signal to the ROI in the preliminary output set to yield a final output set that does not contain the text. Alternatively, the system may remove background from the ROI of the input set before text infilling, then return background to the ROI after the text infilling.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Palo Alto Research Center IncorporatedInventors: Raja Bala, Vijay K.
