Abstract: The various embodiments of the present invention provide a method of fabricating carbon felt based electrodes without any binder additive. A coating of conductive polymer adhesives is applied on the current collector. The carbon felts are placed on either side of the current collector to get an assembly. The assembly comprising current collector and carbon felt is placed between the plates of hot press with predetermined conditions for curing the adhesive applied on the surface of current collector and to obtain sandwich structure of electrode. The sandwich structure of electrode is subjected under a roller and pressed depending on required thickness and porosity of the electrodes. The electrodes are cut into desired shape using electrode cutting die in tailoring process. The prepared carbon felt based electrode illustrates high flexibility and mechanical robustness when compared to carbon felt electrodes that are binder based and brittle in nature.

Abstract: The embodiments herein provide a facile four-step process for the preparation of binder-free graphene felts that are free standing and mechanically robust. The step of deagglomeration of graphene material leads to a uniform size distribution which when combined/integrated with an appropriate moulding technique allows an easy fine tuning of various attributes of graphene felts including electrical conductivity, porosity, surface area, surface morphology and surface functionalization depending on the desired application. Since graphene felts obtained from this process do not incorporate any binder, to achieve better electrical conductivity, electrochemical activity and catalytic and sensing properties compared to conventional graphene felts while not compromising with their mechanical properties.

Abstract: Database synchronization by initiating a transaction to synchronize data from a source database to a target database. The source database issues a trigger that provides a sequence identification (ID) and calculates a thread number that is employed for syncing the rows from the source database to the target database based on a primary key hash. The sequence identification (ID) and the thread number from the source database is inserted into a synchronization (SYNC) table. Data synchronization may also include picking the rows that are allotted their thread number from the SYNC table using polling threads. The rows from the SYNC table may be replicated into target database using a sequence provided by the sequence identification and thread number.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed for reducing latency during IRAT re-selection in the presence of race conditions. When a UE initiates an IRAT re-selection procedure, and concurrently initiates a call setup procedure, a race condition may result, in which the UE's NAS layer prioritizes the call setup procedure, while the RRC layer prioritizes the IRAT re-selection procedure. This may result in failure of the call setup procedure, which may lead to a user needing to re-initiate the call, resulting in poor user experience and significant latency. To prevent this, the UE may cache a message and/or other information relevant to the call setup procedure, until the IRAT re-selection procedure is complete. The UE may then proceed to complete the call setup procedure. The message may be cached, e.g., at the NAS layer or the RRC layer of the cellular modem, or by an application processor.

Abstract: Multiple users communicate over a network via client devices that include one or more cameras and a display to enable video messaging. At least one of the client devices modifies regions of video data captured by the client device's camera to more prominently identify the people within the video data. To identify a person, the client device disambiguates between actual people and static objects that may appear like people. The client device uses pose models to identify bounding boxes and applies a motion model to determine if a bounding box may include a person based on an amount of movement within the bounding box. If a threshold amount of movement is detected in a bounding box, the client device obtains a higher resolution portion of the scene including the bounding box and classifies whether the bounding box contains a person based on movement within the higher resolution video.
