  • Publication number: 20250131806
    Abstract: A device and system thereof to provide early warning and potential shutdown of a charging consumer device including a rechargeable battery (i.e., lithium-ion) in the event of a possible thermal runaway are disclosed herein. Such a device includes a sensor to detect degassing of emitted carbon dioxide or hydrogen gas at a nanoparticle level as an indication of the initiation of such a possible flame presence due to such a thermal runaway event. Such a system thus incorporates such an overall device present within a close proximity to a rechargeable battery (or batteries) as a means to provide an early warning of such a potentially catastrophic situation to permit a user the capability of detaching or unplugging such a rechargeable battery and/or at least the chance to move the consumer device to a safer location. The method of utilizing such a device and system thereof is encompassed herein as well.

  • Patent number: 6558431
    Abstract: The inventive editor allows web authors to edit HTML visually while preserving the HTML source document. The editor preserves the structure and format of the HTML, and permits simultaneous modeless visual and source document editing. When an edit is made with the invention, only the HTML source around that edit is updated, rather than rewriting the whole HTML source document. Furthermore, when an edit is made, the new HTML source code is outputted in a format that is specified by the user. In order to preserve the format of the document, format information is stored in the parsed tree. The format of the node is preserved when its source is regenerated; edits to the node will reformat it according to user preferences. In order to preserve the structure of the document, invalid HTML structures are maintained and not corrected.
