Abstract: Provided a separator, a preparation method thereof, and a secondary battery, a battery module, a battery pack, and an electric apparatus containing such separator. The separator includes: a substrate and a coating applied on at least one surface of the substrate, where the coating includes 40 wt % to 90 wt % first organic particles, 2 wt % to 15 wt % pressure-sensitive binder, and optionally 0 wt % to 50 wt % second organic particles. The first organic particles include an organic polymer and an inorganic substance. The pressure-sensitive binder includes an organic polymer and a plasticizer. The separator has good ionic conductivity and adhesion performance at room temperature, is not adhered under a pressure of 1 MPa or below and is significantly adhered under a pressure of 2 MPa or above, which can significantly improve structural stability and ionic conductivity of an electrochemical device while satisfying requirements for yield rate of production and kinetic performance of a battery cell.

Abstract: This application provides a binder and a separator containing same, an electrode plate, and a related secondary battery, a battery module, a battery pack, and an electrical device. The binder includes an organic polymer and an inorganic compound. The organic polymer is polymerized from a first polymerizing monomer containing an ester bond, a second polymerizing monomer containing a nitrile bond, and a third polymerizing monomer containing an amide bond. A weight ratio between the first polymerizing monomer, the second polymerizing monomer, and the third polymerizing monomer is 1:(0 to 0.8):(0 to 0.15), and optionally 1:(0.05 to 0.2):(0.05 to 0.1). When the binder is applied to the separator, the resistance of the separator is reduced, the ionic conductivity of the separator is improved, and the battery performance is improved.

Abstract: A binder includes a polymer and ceramic particles modified with silane coupling agent. The polymer contains structural units derived from a first-type monomer, a second-type monomer, and a third-type monomer, and a molar ratio of the first-type monomer, the second-type monomer, and the third-type monomer is (50 to 58):(40 to 44):(2 to 6). The first-type monomer is selected from one or more compounds of formula I, the second-type monomer is selected from one or more compounds of formula II, and the third-type monomer is selected from one or more compounds of formula III.

Abstract: This application relates to the field of lithium battery technologies, and in particular, to a binder, a separator, and a lithium-ion battery using such separator, where the binder includes a terpolymer formed by copolymerization of a first monomer unit, a second monomer unit, and a third monomer unit that are specified.

Abstract: One embodiment described herein provides a system and method for path control in a network. During operation, in response to determining that a path-control condition is met, an end host in the network can determine an offset value to be applied to a packet header of a packet, modify the packet header by applying the determined offset value, and forward the packet based on the modified packet header.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and devices for data transmission by a switch. The method can include transmitting, by the switch, over a first path, a first packet that is received from a first host to a second host; receiving a replacement packet from the first host, wherein the replacement packet is transmitted from the first host in response to a determination that the first packet was lost and wherein the replacement packet includes a path indicator; and based on the path indicator of the replacement packet, transmitting, over a second path different from the first path, at least part of the replacement packet to the second host.
