  • Publication number: 20260080082
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for generating and applying function-based and/or rule-based labels to data records for a data security system are described. Such labels may be used for querying of data records. A user of a data security system may define metadata criteria for triggering generation of a label. In some examples, the user may define a function that may transform the metadata that satisfies the triggering criteria for a data record into a label to apply to the data record. In some examples, the user may define a rule that indicates a label to apply to the data record(s) that satisfy the metadata criteria. A user may query the database for records based on the labels applied to the data records in a consistent format expected by the administrative user.

  • Patent number: 11784307
    Abstract: Although silicon-oxide based particles have stable capacity and high cycling efficiency as anode active material, they are known to suffer significant capacity loss during the first battery cycles. The addition of lithium silicate may help to mitigate the initial capacity loss, but it has been difficult to produce such anodes. During battery manufacture cell components are exposed to water, and lithium silicate is water soluble. As lithium silicate dissolves, the pH of the water increases, which can etch silicon, degrading the anode active material. Such degradation can be mitigated by doping lithium silicate with multivalent elements or by converting some silicon to metal silicide before water processing. Doping of lithium silicate makes it less soluble in water. And metal silicide is not as easily etched as silicon.
