Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying abnormal sounds in a particular environment. A normal audio stream obtained in the absence of abnormal sounds may be used as a baseline for subsequently processing an incoming audio stream with a processor to determine whether the incoming audio stream from the microphone in the particular environment includes an abnormal audio event for the particular environment. When it is determined that the incoming audio stream includes an abnormal audio event for the particular environment an electronic database may be accessed to determine a location of the abnormal audio event in the particular environment. A video camera with a field of view that includes the location of the abnormal audio event in the particular environment may be identified and the video stream from the identified video camera retrieved and displayed.

Abstract: A composite coated form of lithium cobalt oxide is described that can achieve improved cycling at higher voltages. Liquid phase and combined liquid and solid phase coating processes are described to effectively form the composite coated powders. The improved cycling positive electrode materials can be effectively combined with either graphitic carbon negative electrode active materials or silicon based high capacity negative electrode active materials. Improved battery designs can achieve very high volumetric energy densities in practical battery formats and with reasonable cycling properties.

Abstract: Positive electrode active materials are described that have a high tap density and high specific discharge capacity upon cycling at room temperature and at a moderate discharge rate. Some materials of interest have the formula Li1+xNi?Mn?Co?O2, where x ranges from about 0.05 to about 0.25, ? ranges from about 0.1 to about 0.4, ? ranges from about 0.4 to about 0.65, and ? ranges from about 0.05 to about 0.3. The materials can be coated with a metal fluoride to improve the performance of the materials especially upon cycling. Also, the coated materials can exhibit a very significant decrease in the irreversible capacity lose upon the first charge and discharge of the battery.
