Abstract: The present application relates to the field of energy storage materials, and particularly, to an electrolytic solution and a battery using the electrolytic solution. The electrolytic solution of the present application contains an additive, the additive including a multi-cyano compound represented by formula (I). The multi-cyano compound of the present application has a stronger complexation with a transition metal on the surface of a positive electrode material, and therefore a protective film can be formed on the surface of the positive electrode material, and the dissolution of the transition metal is effectively suppressed; the surface activity of the positive electrode material is reduced, thereby suppressing side reactions, such as the decomposition of the electrolytic solution on the surface of the positive electrode material; and the cycle performance and storage performance of a battery under wide range of working voltage and wide range of operating temperature conditions are thus improved.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of energy storage materials, and particularly, to an electrolyte and a battery using the electrolyte. The electrolyte contains an additive selected from a group consisting of multi-cyano six-membered N-heterocyclic compounds represented by Formula I-1, Formula I-2 and Formula I-3, and combinations thereof. The addition of the multi-cyano six-membered N-heterocyclic compound as an additive in the electrolyte of the present disclosure can effectively passivate surface activity of the positive electrode material and inhibit oxidation of the electrolyte. The battery using the electrolyte according the present disclosure has good cycle performance at high temperature and high voltage and good storage performance, while gas production of the battery is reduced.

Abstract: In some aspects, a machine-learning model, which can transform input attribute values into a predictive or analytical output value, can be trained with training data grouped into attributes. A subset of the attributes can be selected and transformed into a transformed attribute used for training the model. The transformation can involve grouping portions of the training data for the subset of attributes into respective multi-dimensional bins. Each dimension of a multi-dimensional bin can correspond to a respective selected attribute. The transformation can also involve computing interim predictive output values. Each interim predictive output value can be generated from a respective training data portion in a respective multi-dimensional bin. The transformation can also involve computing smoothed interim output values by applying a smoothing function to the interim predictive output values.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to calibrating I/Q mismatches in communication systems. In some implementations, a reference signal to be transmitted by a transmitter (Tx) is identified. A loopback signal corresponding to the reference signal is generated by passing the reference signal through the TX and a receiver (Rx). The loopback signal includes an additional signal that distinguishes an in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) mismatch caused by the Tx (Tx I/Q mismatch) from an I/Q mismatch caused by the Rx (RX I/Q mismatch). A set of Tx I/Q mismatch parameters and a set of Rx I/Q mismatch parameters are determined based on the reference signal and the loopback signal, using the additional signal. A Tx signal is calibrated based on the set of Tx I/Q mismatch parameters, while a Rx signal is calibrated based on the set of Rx I/Q mismatch parameters, independently from the calibrating the Tx signal.

Abstract: A method and system for determining a QoS of a WLAN service in a backhaul network are disclosed.

Abstract: The compounds encompassed by Formula I include compounds which are HIV protease inhibitors and other compounds which can be metabolized in vivo to HIV protease inhibitors. The compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful for the prophylaxis or treatment of infection by HIV and the prophylaxis, treatment, or delay in the onset of AIDS. The compounds and their salts can be employed as ingredients in pharmaceutical compositions, optionally in combination with other antivirals, immunomodulators, antibiotics or vaccines.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for averaging data in packed format are provided. The data may be image data, such as data words containing color-specific data portions representative of pixels of a captured image. A first data word containing first image data is received. A second data word containing second image data is received. A logical AND of the first data word and the second data word is performed to generate a third data word. A logical exclusive OR (XOR) of the first data word and the second data word is performed to generate a fourth data word. A right shift of the fourth data word is performed. The third data word and the right shifted fourth data word are summed to generate a fifth data word that is an average of the first and second data words.

Abstract: Techniques for video data delivery are provided. A first data stream is received that includes a plurality of video data frames. At least one corrupted video data frame is detected in the first data stream. At least one replacement video data frame is generated for the corrupted video data frame(s) based at least on a non-corrupted video data frame received in the first data stream prior to the corrupted video data frame(s). The replacement video data frame(s) include a modified form of the non-corrupted video data frame, and are configured to provide a smooth scene transition from the non-corrupted video data frame. The corrupted video data frame(s) are replaced in the first data stream with the generated replacement video data frame(s) to generate a second data stream.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for processing captured image data are described. A first array of pixel data values corresponding to a captured image is received. The first array is segmented into a plurality of N by M array portions. A subsample pattern is selected for each N by M array portion of the plurality of N by M array portions from a plurality of subsample patterns so that each N by M array portion has a corresponding selected subsample pattern. The subsample patterns may be selected in a random fashion, or other fashion, to avoid noise patterns in a spatial domain (same image frame) and/or in a time domain (across multiple image frames). Each N by M array portion is subsampled according to the corresponding selected subsample pattern to generate a second array of filtered pixel data values. The second array of filtered pixel data values corresponds to a down-sized version of the captured image.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for filtering captured image data are provided. An array of pixel data values corresponding to a captured image is received. The pixel data values in the received array are pixel data values of a first color of the captured image. A filter function is performed on a portion of the pixel data values of the array that are located in Bayer pattern pixel locations of the array for the first color. Subsequent arrays of pixel data values corresponding to further colors of the captured image may be received and filtered in a similar manner. Furthermore, further captured images in a video stream may be received and filtered in a similar manner, to generate a stream of filtered video images.

Abstract: This invention involves a two-level variable chip rate spreading and despreading method used in CDMA systems. The total spreading gain is the product of the two level spreading factors. Orthogonal sequences, ZCZ sequences and Pseudo-Noise (PN) sequences can be employed as the first- and second-level spreading codes. By employing the two-level spreading method, the interference existing in the systems can be suppressed efficiently and the system performance can be improved significantly.
