Abstract: Systems and methods are provided, in which the level of metal ions in cells stacks and lithium ion batteries is regulated in situ, with the electrodes of the cell stack(s) in the respective pouches. Regulation of metal ions may be carried out electrochemically by metal ion sources in the pouches, electrically connected to the electrodes. The position and shape of the metal ion sources may be optimized to create uniform metal ion movements to the electrode surfaces and favorable SEI formation. The metal ion sources may be removable, or comprise a lithium source for lithiating the anodes or cathodes during operation of the battery according to SoH parameters. Regulation of metal ions may be carried out from metal ion sources in separate electrolyte reservoir(s), with circulation of the metal-ion-containing electrolyte through the cell stacks in the pouches prior or during the formation.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to energy storage devices, and to metal sulfide energy storage devices in particular. Some aspects of the invention relate to energy storage devices comprising at least one flowable electrode, wherein the flowable electrode comprises an electroactive metal sulfide material suspended and/or dissolved in a carrier fluid. In some embodiments, the flowable electrode further comprises a plurality of electronically conductive particles suspended and/or dissolved in the carrier fluid, wherein the electronically conductive particles form a percolating conductive network. An energy storage device comprising a flowable electrode comprising a metal sulfide electroactive material and a percolating conductive network may advantageously exhibit, upon reversible cycling, higher energy densities and specific capacities than conventional energy storage devices.

Abstract: A method and system for balancing the load of computer resources among a plurality of computers having consumers consuming the resources is disclosed. After defining the lower threshold of the consumption level of the resources and obtaining the consumption level of the resources for each of the consumers and for each of said computers, the consumption level for each of the computers is compared during a period with its associated lower threshold. Whenever a computer having a consumption level of the resources higher than the lower threshold is identified, a new layout of computer resources for each of the consumers is determined. Consumers are then shifted from their current location in the computer to a corresponding location in another computer according to the layout, so that the consumption level of the resource(s) for a computer may be reduced.

Abstract: A method and system for providing a Web service by a plurality of Web domains hosted by a computer, through a single IP address, is disclosed. A server having a unique domain name and the same IP address is allocated for each of the domains, while a software module intermediates between a client of the service and each of the servers. Upon receiving a request for connecting the client to one of the servers in order to provide the service, the target domain name of the request is identified by interacting between the client and the software module via standard communication protocol. The software module communicates with the server providing the service associated with the target domain name also by the standard protocol. A communication channel is then established between the server and the client, so that the server is allowed to provide the desired service to the client.
