Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of recruitment systems. The system comprises a memory, an input module, a talent reader, a repository, a talent pool creation module, and a pre-offer module. The candidates provide values corresponding to tags in a pre-defined resume format to generate a resume, read by the talent reader to extract the tag values and store in candidate repository. An assessment test for the candidate based on the pre-determined questionnaires and tag values is created, and responses of the test is assessed to generate a score for filtration of candidates. A recruiter sends a set of desired tag values which are extracted and mapped with the stored tag values to generate a mapped set of candidates for sending pre-offer letters. The system create a talent pool and reduces turnaround time of the selection process.

Abstract: The present disclosure envisages an automated system for onboarding. The system comprising a database to store details of existing employees, a vacancy repository to store details related to vacant positions within an organization, a recruitment module to receive candidate application details corresponding to a plurality of candidates, a test module to provide test case to candidates, an assessment module to provide assessment score, a selection module to select candidate based on the assessment score, a pre-boarding module to identify and receive missing details of the selected candidates to obtain complete details, a verifier module to verify the complete details of the selected candidates to obtain verified details, an onboarding module to receive verified details and facilitate onboarding of the selected candidates.

Abstract: Methods of making cathodes for lithium-sulfur batteries are disclosed, in addition to cathodes and batteries containing the cathodes. A method of making a cathode is disclosed which includes extracting lignosulfonate from brown liquor, pyrolyzing the lignosulfonate, carbonizing the pyrolyzed lignosulfonate to form a carbon-sulfur compound, and forming the carbon-sulfur compound into a cathode. A cathode for a lithium-sulfur battery is disclosed which includes pyrolized lignosulfonate recovered from brown liquor, and carbon. The pyrolized lignosulfonate and carbon are suspended in a matrix having a substantially homogenous distribution of sulfur. A battery is disclosed in which an anode including an electrolye, lithium, is provided along with a membrane separate and a carbon comprising a carbon-sulfur compound derived from lignosulfonates.

Abstract: A lithium-based energy storage system includes an electrolyte and an electrode. The electrode has a conformal coating of parylene. The parylene forms an artificial solid electrolyte interface (SEI). The electrode may include a material chosen from silicon, graphene-silicon composite, carbon-sulfur, and lithium. The use of parylene to form a conformal coating on an electrode in a lithium-based energy storage system is also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems for the production of graphene oxide sheets are provided. The systems include electro-deposition and spray deposition techniques. The graphene oxide sheets may be used as pre-cursors for the formation of porous graphene network (PGN) anodes and lithiated porous graphene (Li-PGN) cathodes. The method of making PGN electrodes includes thermally reducing a pre-cursor sheet of graphene oxide to provide a PGN anode and exposing the sheet to lithium or a lithium-containing compound to produce a Li-PGN cathode. The Li-PGN cathode and PGN anode may be combined with an electrolyte to provide an “all-carbon” battery that is useful in various applications, such as automotive applications.

Abstract: A method of synthesizing a sheet of graphene oxide paper includes combining graphite oxide with water to form a colloidal suspension of graphene oxide; providing a working electrode and a counter electrode such that the working electrode and the counter electrode are inserted in the colloidal suspension; applying a potentiostatic field until a film of graphene oxide having a predetermined thickness forms on the working electrode; and drying the film to form a graphene oxide paper. The method may also include reducing the graphene oxide to graphene by either photo-thermal reduction or thermal exfoliation. The reduced graphene material exhibits high energy density as well as high power density making it useful as anode material for rechargeable batteries.

Abstract: Techniques for finding the source of perceptual audio degradation in an IP telephony environment provide a hop-by-hop analysis of a network over which IP telephony is laid, and may be performed by network switching devices, such as routers, gateways and switches. Rather than monitoring packet loss, these techniques employ perceptual measures to determine the source of audio quality degradation in the network, as perceived by a user or caller. Generally, a reference waveform is systematically sent to intermediate network switching devices along the path between two endpoints. Each intermediate device sends back a return waveform that is based on the respective reference waveform received at each device. From comparing the reference waveform with the return waveform, for each round-trip along the path, the degradation of the audio quality is computed for each round-trip path, from which audio degradation is computed for each hop, from which the source of degradation is determined.
