Publication number: 20240052458Abstract: A battery recycling method removes impurities to ensure production of battery-grade materials. The method includes removing cadmium (Cd) from a pregnant leach solution before recovering valuable battery metals such as nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), and lithium (Li). The removal of the Cd may be performed by precipitating an insoluble organo-complex by adding an organic compound material to the pregnant leach solution. The organic compound material may include one or more of organosulfur, organothiophosphate, benzothiazole compounds or derivatives, such as dithiophosphinate, dithiophosphate, and mercaptobenzothiazole, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Ghazaleh NAZARI, Gomer M. ABRENICA, Eugen Gluck, Mary Loisse Grimaldo, Jolina Pagulayan, Joseph Holden Gerona

Publication number: 20230115712Abstract: Data indicative of a line of sight to a target is obtained from a sensor mounted on an aircraft. Data indicative of an orientation of the aircraft relative to the Earth is obtained from a navigation system associated with the aircraft. An expression is generated that couples a first variable indicative of misalignment of an orientation of the sensor and the orientation of the aircraft and a second variable indicative of the location of the target relative to the Earth. The first variable and second variable are determined using the data indicative of the line of sight from the sensor to the target and the expression coupling the first variable and the second variable. The misalignment of the orientation of the sensor and the orientation of the aircraft is compensated for using the first variable. The location of the target relative to the Earth is determined using the second variable.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2021Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Michael Thomas GRABBE, Michael Lindsey MAHAFFEY, Michael Duane SAPP, Brian Joseph HOLDEN

Patent number: 9872145Abstract: A device may obtain event information regarding a set of user equipment. The device may determine a first location for a particular user equipment, of the set of user equipment, based on the event information and a stored set of parameters. The device may provide information associated with identifying the first location. The device may determine a second location for the particular user equipment based on the information associated with identifying the first location and after determining the first location. The device may provide information associated with identifying the second location. The device may update the stored set of parameters as a set of updated parameters. The device may use the set of updated parameters to determine another location.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Viavi Solutions UK LimitedInventors: David Christopher Wyles, John Joseph Holden, David Antony Razzetti, Gareth James Smith, Peter Kenington

Patent number: 9584966Abstract: A device may be configured to obtain metric information relating to an operating environment. The metric information may describe a signal strength or a signal quality associated with one or more calls placed in the operating environment. The device may be configured to obtain a threshold for the metric information. The device may be configured to determine indoor/outdoor classification information that identifies whether the one or more calls are classified as an indoor call or an outdoor call or an unclassified call based on whether the metric information satisfies the threshold. The device may be configured to determine geolocation information identifying one or more geographical locations associated with the one or more calls. The device may be configured to provide the indoor/outdoor classification information and the geolocation information.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Viavi Solutions UK LimitedInventors: Stefan Ulrich Thiel, Gareth James Smith, John Joseph Holden, Ryan Clark
