  • Patent number: 11557813
    Abstract: A system and method for separating battery components provides for the separation of batteries into their individual layers of anodes, cathodes, first polymer separator layers, and second polymer separator layers. A battery casing of a battery is cut to uncover a battery cell core, which is then washed to remove an electrolyte therefrom. An outer wrapping layer of the washed battery cell core is cut to form an open loose end, and the open loose end is engaged by first and second rollers to unroll a laminate therefrom. The laminate includes a cathode layer, an anode layer, a first polymer separator layer, and a second polymer separator layer. The laminate is then separated into the cathode layer, the anode layer, the first polymer separator layer, and the second polymer separator layer with the first roller, the second roller, a third roller, and a fourth roller. Each layer is then collected.

  • Patent number: 11479388
    Abstract: An example packaging system includes a first box part with a first lid wall, the first lid wall including an aperture. The packaging system also includes a latch slidably disposed within the aperture, the latch having a body portion that extends perpendicularly into the first box part, where the latch is slidable in a direction parallel to the first lid wall. The packaging system also includes a second box part having a first tray wall, the first tray wall including a channel sized to slidably receive the latch, the channel including an assembly channel segment and a locking channel segment. When the first box part and the second box part are fitted together, a) the assembly channel segment is aligned with the latch when the latch is in a first position within the aperture, and b) the latch is slidable within the locking channel segment to a second position.

  • Patent number: 11445291
    Abstract: The application belongs to the field of earphone technology, and discloses a type of noise-reducing earphones with adjustable voice. An audio processor processes voice signals. After a digital signal processor (DSP) completes noise reduction, the signals return to the audio processor, where two signals are combined, through another signal wire. Then the signals are transmitted to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that transmits the signals to an acoustic amplifier, where the signals are transmitted to a speaker to realize the adjustment of voice.

  • Patent number: 11436294
    Abstract: A network-based service is disclosed for disambiguating search queries based on a location-based clustering of search results corresponding to the query. In one embodiment, a user may submit a query for travel items, such as hotel accommodations. The service can determine, based on the query, an initial set of hotels providing such accommodations. The service can then cluster the hotels according to their geographic positions. If the service identifies multiple clusters, the user can be prompted to select a specific cluster to receive additional information regarding the cluster. Illustratively, if a user submits a query for a hotel in “Springfield,” the service may ask the user to select among multiple clusters of results, each corresponding to a different city named “Springfield” in which results have been located.
