  • Publication number: 20230417706
    Abstract: A non-destructive inspection method of detecting defects in a pouch-type secondary battery is disclosed. The defects are due to a crack or weld condition of an electrode sealed with a pouch. The method is used in a manufacturing process of the pouch-type secondary battery, where the manufacturing process includes an electrode tab pre-welding process; an electrode tab main-welding process; and a packing process. The method can include a first crack condition inspecting operation; a second crack condition inspecting operation; and a weld condition inspecting operation. The first crack condition inspecting operation inspects a first crack condition of the electrode tabs which occurs in the electrode tab pre-welding process. The second crack condition inspecting operation inspects a second crack condition of the electrode tabs, which occurs in the electrode tab main-welding process. The weld condition inspecting operation inspects a weld condition of the electrode tabs.

  • Patent number: 10235884
    Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program for utilizing a WiFi beacon for low-latency communication with smart computing devices. Embodiments of the invention use beacon-stuffed network announcement broadcast signals to promptly convey urgent safety information to pedestrians and other vulnerable road users and to warn them of approaching vehicles. This information can then be used to generate visual or audible alerts that are presented on a smart computing device of the vulnerable road user. Similarly, beacon-stuffed network announcement broadcast signals transmitted by pedestrians' smart computing devices can be used to warn vehicle operators of pedestrians in their path.

  • Patent number: 10111031
    Abstract: A system and method for automated crowd sensing object detection. The invention senses a missing object's presence in proximity which is conducted using a smartphone, with a software application running in the background that opportunistically collects and reports the data without the active involvement of the user. A small tag is attached to a tracked object or worn by a person who does not carry a smartphone (i.e., a young child), and emits a secure wireless signal periodically for geo-fencing and geo-tracking by caregivers. The information is sent to a cloud server so that the commander may be able to confirm the whereabouts of the tagged object or person in this case.

  • Patent number: 6066913
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of arranging a conductive wire pattern of a film-type saddle deflection member for a cathode ray tube which properly arranges the conductive wires of each film such that an optimum magnetic field can be obtained, and a film-type saddle deflection member having the conductive wire pattern arranged by the method. In the method, the total number of conductive wires arranged from a horizontal axis of the cathode ray tube to a position having an angle of .theta. is determined by a following equation according to angle .theta. taken from the horizontal axis of the cathode ray rube: [.PHI.(.theta.)=A.sub.1 sin .theta.+A.sub.3 sin 3.theta.+A.sub.5 sin 5.theta.+ . . . ], in which .theta. is an angle taken from the horizontal axis to 90 degree, A.sub.1, A.sub.3, A.sub.5, . . . , A.sub.2N-1 are integers, and n is a natural number.
