  • Publication number: 20190252689
    Abstract: A one-step in-situ electrochemical pre-charging strategy to generate thin protective films simultaneously on the surfaces of both carbon-based air-electrode and metal anode under an inert atmosphere is disclosed. The thin-films are formed from the decomposition of electrolyte during the in-situ electrochemical pre-charging process in an inert environment and can protect both a carbon air-electrode and a metal anode prior to conventional metal-oxygen discharge/charge cycling where reactive reduced oxygen species are formed. Lithium-oxygen cells after such pre-treatment demonstrate significantly extended cycle life which is far more than those without pre-treatment.

  • Publication number: 20190231314
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method for generating ultrasonic panoramic image and an ultrasonic device. The invention first analyzes the degree of overlap area between two black-and-white images and determines the Doppler signal error of two corresponding color images once the overlap area is large enough. A plurality of black-and-white characteristic images and color characteristic images are then determined from the captured black-and-white images and color images and used for generating a black-and-white panoramic image and a color panoramic image respectively using an image stitching algorithm. The color panoramic image is then overlaid with the black-and-white panoramic image to form an output panoramic image.
