Publication number: 20250023015Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing anisotropic expansion of silicon-dominant anodes. An example battery may include a cathode, an electrolyte, and an anode, with the anode including a current collector and an active material on a surface of the current collector. One or more characteristics of the current collector may ensure meeting particular expansion criteria. The expansion criteria may include expanding less in one of x-y directions and z-direction while expanding more in other one of the x-y directions and the z-direction, the x-y directions being parallel to the surface of the current collector and perpendicular to a thickness of the active material. The one or more characteristics include at least material of the current collector.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2024Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: Giulia Canton, Benjamin Park, Fred Bonhomme, David J. Lee, Ian Browne

Publication number: 20230360061Abstract: Systems and methods for generating digital assets corresponding to physical commodities are provided. Attributes identifying a first physical commodity are used to determine environmental attributes of the first physical commodity. Based on the first physical commodity and the environmental attributes, one or more smart contracts are contacted and activated to generate digital assets. The attributes and an indication of the digital asset are used in conjunction with the smart contract to generate a correlated digital asset, which can be recorded on a digital ledger.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Joseph James Madden, Jeff Cohen, David Cameron Prell, Paul Sestili, Ananda Mohan Bose, Andrew John Pisano, Samuel Joseph Teplitsky, David Browne, Michael Patrick DiPetrillo

Patent number: 11256652Abstract: A Multi-I/O SPI for precision converters supports a Dual/Quad/Octal SPI to support the speed requirements for digital transmission and also includes a special mode that can be enabled by hardware and/or software to remove the bit scrambling requirement dictated by the JEDEC standard. The special mode removes the scramble requirement and associates each of the bidirectional data lines to a specific channel. The special mode provides backward compatibility that permits the precision converter to be used with controllers that do not natively support the JEDEC standard. Also, the Multi-I/O SPI includes registers divided into a primary region that is accessed only in default mode at power-up for write and/or read operations, and a secondary region that is accessed by any mode enabled in the control register. By restricting access to the “control” register area to a pre-defined mode in the converter at power-up, the access mode can be controlled.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: Miguel Usach Merino, Wes Vernon Lofamia, Fergus John Downey, David A. Browne, Thomas Murphy

Patent number: 10712355Abstract: A particle counting device includes a scanner probe having a first opening for receiving particles from a sample surface and second openings. Pumps produce a first airstream flowing from the first opening and a second airstream flowing to the second openings. A flow device splits the first airstream into third and fourth airstreams. A first particle detector detects particles in the third airstream. The first particle detector is capable of detecting particles within a first range of particle sizes. A second particle detector detects particles in the fourth airstream. The second particle detector is capable of detecting particles within a second range of particle sizes different from the first range of particle sizes. Control circuitry controls the flow device and the pumps to provide a first flow rate of the third airstream and a second flow rate of the fourth airstream that is larger than the first flow rate.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: PENTAGON TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC.Inventors: David Browne, Don Lutz
