  • Patent number: 10396339
    Abstract: A bi-metal tab includes an internal tab segment that can be coupled to a battery cell terminal within an interior of the cell and an external tab segment that can be coupled to an element external to the cell. One tab segment includes a pin tab segment that comprises a pin, and another tab segment includes a socket tab segment comprised of a separate metal material, that comprises a socket. The socket can be at least partially enclosed, on at least two opposing sides, by the structure of the socket tab segment, and the socket and pin of the separate segments can be configured to couple, to form the tab, where at least two surfaces of the pin are in flush contact with the socket tab segment structure. A protection layer that restricts electronic transport across the tab based on exposure to particular physical conditions can be included between the tab segments.

  • Publication number: 20190258655
    Abstract: A method includes generating a plurality of entigen groups from a plurality of phrases, where the plurality of entigen groups represents a plurality of most likely meanings for the plurality of phrases. The method further includes determining an initial interpretation of the related topic based on the plurality of most likely meanings for the plurality of phrases and generating a plurality of scores for the plurality of entigen groups based on the initial interpretation and source information of the plurality of phrases. The method further includes interpreting the plurality of scores in relation to the initial interpretation to determine a confidence level of the initial interpretation and when the confidence level of the initial interpretation compares favorably to a confidence threshold, indicating that the initial interpretation is reliable.

  • Publication number: 20190258717
    Abstract: A method includes interpreting sets of first language identigens to produce an entigen group which represents a most likely meaning of a string of first language words. The method further includes identifying, for each entigen of the entigen group, a corresponding set of second language identigens to identify sets of second language identigens. The method further includes selecting, for each entigen of the entigen group, a selected second language identigen from the corresponding set of second language identigens based on meaning of the entigen to produce an initial string of second language words.

  • Publication number: 20190220474
    Abstract: A method includes determining a set of identigens for each word of at least some words of a string of words of a query to produce a plurality of sets of identigens. The method further includes interpreting, based on a first knowledge database, the plurality of sets of identigens to produce a first entigen group and generating a first preliminary query response based on the first entigen group. The method further includes interpreting, based on a second knowledge database, the plurality of sets of identigens to produce a second entigen group and generating a second preliminary query response based on the second entigen group. The method further includes comparing the first and second preliminary query responses and when the first preliminary query response and the second preliminary query response are divergent, resolving inconsistencies between the first and second preliminary query responses to produce a final query response.

  • Publication number: 20190220756
    Abstract: A method includes selecting an entigen group from a knowledge database. The entigen group is a most likely meaning of a phrase of a string of words. An entigen of the entigen group corresponds to a selected identigen from a set of identigens regarding a word of the string of words. The set of identigens represent different meanings of the word. The method further includes identifying other entigen groups of alternate phrases having the most likely meaning from the knowledge database. The alternate phrases are different permutations of the string of words. The method further includes determining a dominant digital representation of a human reaction of the other entigen groups and generating a digital representation of a human reaction for the entigen group based on the dominant digital representation of a human reaction.

  • Patent number: 10116013
    Abstract: A battery includes one or more protection layers, applied to one or more foil layers in the battery, which restrict electronic transport across the protection layer based on exposure to particular physical conditions. The protection layer can change from being an electrically conductive layer to being an electrically insulating layer based on the exposure. The protection layer can include a mixture of materials that change state to electrically insulating states based on exposure to various particular physical conditions. A battery can include multiple protection layers that restrict electronic transport based on exposure to different physical conditions. A protection layer applied to a foil layer that is applied to an electrode restricts electronic transport between the foil layer and the electrode based on exposure to the one or more physical conditions. A protection layer located between separate battery cells can restrict electronic transport between portions of separate battery cells.
