Abstract: A lithium primary battery comprising a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, a separator disposed between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet and an electrolyte. The positive electrode comprises a current collector for the positive electrode and an active material layer for the positive electrode coated on at least one surface of the current collector for the positive electrode. The active material layer for the positive electrode comprises an active material capable of deintercalating lithium ions. The negative electrode sheet comprises a copper foil, a nickel foil, a conductive carbon paper or a steel film.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally provide an electronic device comprising an electrical interconnect component that includes an electrical trace. The electrical trace has geometric characteristics that serve to suppress the skin effect over a large band of frequency components. More specifically, the electrical trace has a thickness that is less than a skin depth for a particular chosen frequency component. By making the electrical trace have a thickness that is less than the skin depth, the current flows through substantially the entire cross-sectional area of the electrical trace for all frequencies up to the chosen frequency component, which reduces the effects associated with the skin effect.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing instructions for loading objects into a storage space and for generating an optimized list of vehicles. The methods include generating a list of objects including receiving an object characteristic, retrieving an object based on the object characteristic, and receiving a selection of a retrieved object. The methods further include retrieving dimensional data associated with objects and retrieving dimensional data associated with a storage space of a vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cathode plate of a lithium ion battery. The cathode plate includes a carbon film cathode current collector and a cathode film containing cathode active material formed on the carbon film cathode current collector. The carbon film cathode current collector can remarkably improve the electrochemical performance and the safety performance of the lithium ion battery.

Abstract: An electrode group is configured for use in a lithium ion battery. The electrode group includes an anode plate and a cathode plate wound with a separator interposed therebetween. At least one metal oxide layer is disposed between the anode plate and the cathode plate. The metal oxide layer is provided at two length edges of the anode plate and/or the cathode plate, corresponding to the cutting edge of the cathode current collector where the cut burr formed in cutting process. Even though the cut burrs can pierce through the separator, the cut burrs still cannot contact the anode film. Any internal circuit short, caused by contact between the aluminum foil and the anode film, may therefore be avoided and, therefore, the performance of the lithium ion battery is remarkably improved.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for managing variation in acceleration values obtained from a vehicle acceleration sensor for use in on-board computer based crash evaluation algorithm. Sources contributing to the variation are identified and a determination is made of the magnitude of the variation from each source to a selected multiple of a standard deviation, for example, 3 to 6 ?. The variation for each source is suitably combined to produce a database of acceleration-time history with the combined variations for use in calibrating and or validating a candidate crash algorithm.

Abstract: A method is provided for identifying a compound that modulates a cellualr response associated with Homer and mediated by a cell-surface or an intracellular receptor. A method is further provided for identifying a compound that modulates receptor activated calcium mobilization associated with Homer. A method is provided for identifying a compound that inhibits Homer protein activity based on the crystal structure coordinates of Homer protein binding domain. A method is also provided for identifying a compound that affects the formation of cell surface receptors into clusters. Also provided are nucleic acids encoding Homer proteins as well as Homer proteins, and Homer interacting proteins.

Abstract: The recognition rate of a speech recognition system is improved by compensating for changes in the user's speech that result from factors such as emotion, anxiety or fatigue. A speech signal derived from a user's utterance, and a bio-signal, which is indicative of the user's emotional state, are provided to a speech recognition system. The bio-signal is used to provide a reference frequency that changes when the user's emotional state changes. An utterance is identified by examining the relative magnitudes of its frequency components and the position of the frequency components relative to the reference frequency.
