  • Publication number: 20260202590
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a high-color gamut diffuser plate and a preparation method therefor, and relates to the field of diffuser plate material technologies. In the present invention, a high-haze diffusion layer, a quantum dot layer, and a specific-spectral absorption layer are formed through in-mold co-extrusion, to prepare a high-color gamut diffuser plate. Green perovskite in the quantum dot layer works in cooperation with a visible-light absorber in the specific-spectral absorption layer, to obtain an expected spectral emissivity profile, thereby enabling the high-color gamut diffuser plate to absorb a spectrum around 580 nm (yellow). Overlap between absorption spectra of an R/G (yellow) filter is reduced as much as possible, to avoid emission leakage in other colors. An increase in the color gamut is achieved through emission spectra similar to those of the QD.

  • Publication number: 20260204669
    Abstract: A battery manufacturing process includes: acquiring a battery to be treated and injecting an electrolyte into the battery; and charging the battery before sodium in the battery is reduced at a negative electrode. In this application, the battery is charged before sodium in the battery is reduced at the negative electrode. In the process of charging the battery, water may receive electrons at the negative electrode and undergo a reduction reaction, producing hydrogen gas and hydroxide; or water may decompose in the electrolyte to generate hydrogen ions, and the hydrogen ions may receive electrons at the negative electrode to undergo a reduction reaction, producing hydrogen gas. In this way, water in the battery is removed. After removing water, sodium is reduced at the negative electrode to generate elemental sodium metal.

  • Patent number: 12682924
    Abstract: This disclosure describes an apparatus that enables rapid transitions during microwave-assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) of storage media. In various aspects, the apparatus incorporates a driver circuit configured to provide a controlled bias current through separate source and sink output terminals, which respond to feedback signals. An MAMR sensor connects between the source and sink output terminals and generates microwave fields when receiving the controlled bias current from the driver circuit. A common-mode feedback (CMFB) loop connects to the source and sink output terminals, detects common-mode voltage (CMV), and delivers feedback signals to the driver circuit to maintain CMV regulation of the MAMR sensor. A differential voltage regulation loop connects to the source and sink output terminals, providing feedback signals that maintain the MAMR sensor voltage differential at a reference value. The apparatus controls the magnetic recording process of the MAMR sensor with rapid transition times.

  • Publication number: 20260196508
    Abstract: An electrode assembly, a preparation method therefor, a battery, and an electrical apparatus are disclosed. The electrode assembly includes an electrode plate comprising a current collector, an active layer, and a tab. The active layer is disposed on at least one side of the current collector in its thickness direction, and the tab is arranged on one side of the current collector in its height direction. In a direction from the tab side toward the opposite side and from the current collector toward the outward side, the liquid absorption capacity of the active layer gradually decreases. Such gradient structure enables the active layer to exhibit different electrolyte absorption capacities in a specified direction, improving electrolyte wettability. The configuration further reduces electrolyte loss caused by electrode plate expansion or contraction during charge and discharge, thereby enhancing overall wettability of the electrode assembly.
