  • Patent number: 11969687
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide for a filter assembly. The filter assembly includes a filter housing, a filter element, and a cover. The filter housing has a first housing end and a second housing end that define an internal cavity. The filter housing has a housing seal member formed on the second housing end. The filter element is disposed in the internal cavity. The filter element includes a filter media, an endplate, and a filter seal member. The filter media has a first media end and a second media end. The endplate is disposed at the first media end. The filter seal member is formed on the endplate. The filter seal member includes an inner seal portion and an outer seal portion. The filter seal member is configured to engage the housing seal member. The cover secures the engagement of the housing seal member and the filter seal member.

  • Patent number: 11955613
    Abstract: Cathode material from exhausted lithium ion batteries are dissolved in a solution for extracting the useful elements Co (cobalt), Ni (nickel), Al (Aluminum) and Mn (manganese) to produce active cathode materials for new batteries. The solution includes compounds of desirable materials such as cobalt, nickel, aluminum and manganese dissolved as compounds from the exhausted cathode material of spent cells. Depending on a desired proportion, or ratio, of the desired materials, raw materials are added to the solution to achieve the desired ratio of the commingled compounds for the recycled cathode material for new cells. The desired materials precipitate out of solution without extensive heating or separation of the desired materials into individual compounds or elements. The resulting active cathode material has the predetermined ratio for use in new cells, and avoids high heat typically required to separate the useful elements because the desired materials remain commingled in solution.

  • Patent number: 11929853
    Abstract: A method performed by an artificial neural network includes determining a conditional probability distribution representing a channel based on a data set of transmit and receive sequences. The method also includes determining a latent representation of the channel based on the conditional probability distribution. The method further includes performing a channel-based function based on the latent representation.

  • Patent number: 10268745
    Abstract: An inherited dimension comprises one or more base dimension objects and one or more specialized dimension objects that are stored in a non-transitory volatile or non-volatile computer-readable storage. Each base dimension object of the one or more base dimension objects has a first set of dimension attributes that are common across the plurality of multidimensional datasets. The one or more specialized dimension objects include a specialized dimension object that has a second set of dimension attributes for a particular multidimensional dataset from the plurality of multidimensional datasets. In response to receiving a query that references the dimension and targets the particular multidimensional dataset, a base dimension object and the specialized dimension object are accessed to generate a query result.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for inheritance of dimensional attributes in multidimensional datasets. In some embodiments, an inherited dimension comprises one or more base dimension objects and one or more specialized dimension objects that are stored in a non-transitory volatile or non-volatile computer-readable storage. Each base dimension object of the one or more base dimension objects has a first set of dimension attributes that are common across the plurality of multidimensional datasets. The one or more specialized dimension objects include a specialized dimension object that has a second set of dimension attributes for a particular multidimensional dataset from the plurality of multidimensional datasets. In response to receiving a query that references the dimension and targets the particular multidimensional dataset, a base dimension object and the specialized dimension object are accessed to generate a query result.
