Abstract: A battery cell includes a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate that are alternately stacked. A separator is disposed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate. The first electrode plate includes a first current collector and a first active material layer disposed on the first current collector. The first active material layer includes a body portion and an end portion. The end portion is provided with a raised structure and a transition section. The transition section is adjacent to the body portion and the raised structure. In a thickness direction of the battery cell, a distance from a lowest point of a surface of the transition section to a surface of the first current collector is hr, and a thickness of the body portion of the first active material layer is ha, where (ha?hr)/ha?2%.

Abstract: An electrochemical device includes a shell, an electrode post, and an electrode assembly. A through-hole is provided on the shell. The electrode post is disposed on the shell and at least partially accommodated in the through-hole. The electrode post is electrically connected to the electrode assembly. A frangible portion is provided at a position corresponding to the through-hole on the electrode post. The frangible portion is configured to be burst open when a pressure in the shell reaches a threshold, so as to implement communication between inside and outside of the shell to relieve the pressure. Provided on the electrode post, the frangible portion can be broken when the pressure in the electrochemical device reaches the threshold, so as to relieve the pressure in the electrochemical device.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer readable medium are disclosed to receive inputs from a user, send the inputs to an analytical system, transform the inputs into conversation features, send the conversation features to a decision system that, based on control settings, transforms the conversation features into user feedback and/or conversation pivot decisions, in order to operate a network of bot agents to service a conversation with the user.

Abstract: Acoustic tags and a process for fabrication are disclosed for identifying and tracking various hosts including inanimate and animate objects in up to three dimensions. The acoustic tags may be powered by a single power source. Tags can have an operation lifetime of up to 90 days or longer at a transmission rate of 3 seconds. The acoustic tags have an enhanced signal range that enhances detection probability when tracking the hosts.

Abstract: Injectable acoustic tags and a process of making are described for tracking host animals in up to three dimensions. The injectable acoustic tags reduce adverse biological effects and have a reduced cost of manufacture compared with conventional surgically implanted tags. The injectable tags are powered by a single power source with a lifetime of greater than 30 days. The injectable tags have an enhanced acoustic signal transmission range that enhances detection probability for tracking of host animals.
