  • Publication number: 20210226329
    Abstract: Antenna systems for access points and other wireless radio units include an RF ground plane, a radiating element mounted in front of the RF ground plane, and a coaxial feed cable coupled to the radiating element. The cable jacket includes a first opening that exposes a first portion of an outer conductor of the coaxial feed cable so that the cable jacket is on either side of the first opening along a longitudinal direction of the coaxial feed cable. The first portion of the outer conductor is galvanically connected to the RF ground plane via a first direct galvanic connection.

  • Patent number: 11069888
    Abstract: A simple solution processing method is developed to achieve uniform and scalable stabilized lithium metal powder coating on Li-ion negative electrode. A solvent and binder system for stabilized lithium metal powder coating is developed, including the selection of solvent, polymer binder and enhancement of polymer concentration. The enhanced binder solution is 1% concentration of polymer binder in xylene, and the polymer binder is chosen as the mixture of poly(styrene-co-butadiene) rubber (SBR) and polystyrene (PS). Long-sustained, uniformly dispersed stabilized lithium metal powder suspension can be achieved with the enhanced binder solution. A uniform stabilized lithium metal powder coating can be achieved with simple doctor blade coating method and the resulting stabilized lithium metal powder coating can firmly glued on the anode surface.

  • Patent number: 10949416
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for implementing an active-active transaction protocol according to which multiple sites can each provide active services such as executing update transactions that insert, modify, or delete data records. An active-active transaction protocol utilizes affinity records corresponding to both transactions that have been received as well as the data records those transactions are updating to determine which site should handle execution of an incoming update transaction. An affinity record defines a relationship between a data record and a site that determines whether and where a transaction seeking to update that data record will be routed for processing. Conflict handling mechanisms are also provided by the active-active transaction protocol to ensure data consistency between the multiple sites.

  • Publication number: 20210071299
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to protective coatings on substrates and methods for depositing the protective coatings. In one or more embodiments, a method of forming a protective coating on a substrate includes depositing a chromium oxide layer containing amorphous chromium oxide on a surface of the substrate during a first vapor deposition process and heating the substrate containing the chromium oxide layer comprising the amorphous chromium oxide to convert at least a portion of the amorphous chromium oxide to crystalline chromium oxide during a first annealing process. The method also includes depositing an aluminum oxide layer containing amorphous aluminum oxide on the chromium oxide layer during a second vapor deposition process and heating the substrate containing the aluminum oxide layer disposed on the chromium oxide layer to convert at least a portion of the amorphous aluminum oxide to crystalline aluminum oxide during a second annealing process.
