  • Patent number: 11967686
    Abstract: A system and method for optimizing electrochemical cells including electrodes employing coordination compounds by mediating water content within a desired water content profile that includes sufficient coordinated water and reduces non-coordinated water below a desired target and with electrochemical cells including a coordination compound electrochemically active in one or more electrodes, with an improvement in electrochemical cell manufacture that relaxes standards for water content of electrochemical cells having one or more electrodes including one or more such transition metal cyanide coordination compounds.

  • Publication number: 20240119092
    Abstract: A computer system for executing a processing graph including: (A) accessing a graph definition of the processing graph from a nodes database, each node of the processing graph representing a component of computation performed by at least one program referenced by that node; (B) constructing the processing graph in the at least one memory device; (C) identifying at least one group of nodes in the processing graph; (D) traversing the at least one group of nodes; (E) upon visiting a node of the at least one group of nodes, accessing a node definition of the node from the nodes database, the node definition identifying a program referenced by the node; (F) executing the program to generate an output; and (G) passing the output to a parent node of the node, the parent node using the output during processing of the parent node.

  • Patent number: 11666943
    Abstract: A system and method for sizing and separating granular particles within the bulk granular solids by creating a graded granular flow comprising multiple sized fractions with gradation of the particles according to particle size between relatively fine fractions and relatively coarse fractions; and capturing at least a portion of granular flow. The system (11) comprises means (25) for creating the graded granular flow, and means (30) for capturing at least a portion of the graded granular flow. The graded granular flow is split into separate streams, one of which is subsequently captured by intercepting that stream. The intercepted stream may be collected or redirected for further processing.

  • Patent number: 11660640
    Abstract: A system and method for separating granular particles according to particle size, and more particularly enhance ore grades by removing unwanted material. The system (10) comprises means (11) for transporting granular material (12) comprising multiple sized fractions with gradation of the particles according to particle size between relatively fine fractions and relatively coarse fractions, in a direction having a horizontal component; and subjecting the granular material (12) to vibration while being so transported to induce some separation of particles according to particle size. The system (10) further comprises means (13) for causing the granular material (12) to subsequently move as a granular flow (14) along a curved path (15) under the influence of gravity to further induce separation of particles according to particle size. The system (10) still further comprises means (16) for dividing the granular flow (14) moving along the curved path (15) into different streams (17) according to their trajectory.

  • Publication number: 20200319260
    Abstract: Apparatus (1) is for detecting electrical current in a support (2) for an overhead power line (3) adapted to carry AC electricity at a nominal frequency. The apparatus (I) comprises a first and a second electrical contact (16, 17). The first and second electrical contacts (16, 17) are adapted to be electrically coupled to the support (2) in spaced apart relationship, in use. A voltage detector (7) is coupled to the first and second contacts. A first voltage signal generator (11) is coupled to the first electrical contact (16) and is adapted to generate a voltage signal at a second frequency. A processor (15) is coupled to an output from the voltage detector (7). The voltage detector (7) is adapted to detect a first voltage differential between the first and second electrical contacts (16, I 7) at a first frequency corresponding to the nominal frequency, and to detect a second voltage differential between the two electrical contacts (16, 17) at the second frequency.
