Abstract: The present invention generally relates to electrodes, electrical storage devices comprising the electrodes, and methods for producing the electrodes and electrical storage devices. The electrodes comprise a current collector, an electrically conductive mat, and a first and second electroactive material, the first electroactive material having a higher energy density than the second electroactive material, and the second electroactive material having a higher rate capability than the first electroactive material. The electrically conductive mat provides a structural and conductive support for at least one of the high-rate and high-energy electroactive materials. The electrodes can be provided in various configurations and be used in high-rate high-energy electrical storage devices to provide improved cycle life.

Abstract: An improved system and method for automatically indicating the validity of calibration certifications is disclosed. For one example, a self-terminating calibration certification system is disclosed as a label with a first layer including a thermally-activated material with a bar code printed on one side, a heater element on the second side of the first layer, and a second layer of material affixed to the second side. A processing unit, a power unit, and a transmitter/receiver unit are affixed to one side of the second layer, and an adhesive material is affixed to the second side of the second layer. Thus, the label can be affixed semi-permanently to the measurement instrument or item of test equipment involved. When the measurement instrument or item of test equipment is calibrated, the processing unit starts an internal clock that counts down (or up) to the calibration certification due date.

Abstract: The invention concerns a custom made magnetic pad having a sheet, the sheet having a first side having a magnetic material and a second side. The second side displays a graphic representation. The graphic representation is chosen from a window or door and includes a grille and a plurality of geometric panels.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting a potentially malicious executable file is described. An executable file, for example attached to an electronic mail message or downloaded to a computer system, is trapped and disassembled to provide an analysable file. The analysable file is analysed to determine whether any program call is made by the executable file and whether any detected program call is potentially malicious by comparing the program call with a list of known potentially malicious program calls. If the program call is potentially malicious, the executable file is quarantined or deleted.
