Abstract: A multifunctional mixed oxide electrocatalyst material including a metal oxide A with oxygen storage capacity and a metal oxide B with oxygen evolution reaction is prepared by two-steps hydrothermal reactions. The electrocatalyst material is a good free radical scavenger, oxygen evolution reagent and able to alleviate carbon monoxide poisoning on catalyst, when it is applied in a membrane electrode assembly for fuel cells.

Abstract: A battery cell includes: a shell, including a first wall; an electrode assembly, disposed inside the shell; and a terminal assembly, including an electrode terminal and an elastic member. The electrode terminal includes a fixed portion for electrical connection with the electrode assembly and a movable portion for electrical connection with a current collecting component. The fixed portion is fixedly disposed on the first wall. The movable portion is movably disposed on the first wall, and has a first position in contact with the fixed portion and a second position separated from the fixed portion. The elastic member is used for applying elastic force to the movable portion to maintain the movable portion in the first position. The movable portion is configured to move from the first position to the second position against the elastic force when internal pressure of the battery cell reaches a threshold.

Abstract: A device and method for a switch to operate as an intermediate node in a Time Sensitive Network (TSN) are provided. The switch transmits a frame at a time if it is the right frame to be transmitted at the time according to a configuration stored by the switch. The switch does not transmit the frame at the time if it is not the right frame to be sent at the time according to the configuration. Further, a device and method for scheduling transmission of a data packet from a talker node to a listener node are provided, including sending a configuration to each switch of a subset of switches in the network comprising information on the flow and a timing when it is to be output from the switch.

Abstract: A system for tracking objects in a temporal sequence of digital images is configured to: detect potential objects in the images, the detected potential objects being indicated as nodes, identify pairs of neighboring nodes, such that for each pair the nodes of said pair potentially represent an identical object and their spatial and/or temporal relationship with each other is within a predetermined range, connect each pair of neighboring nodes with a first type edge, identify at least one supplementary pair of distant nodes whose spatial and/or temporal relationship with each other exceeds the predetermined range, connect the pair of distant nodes with a supplementary second type edge, each of the first and second type edges being assigned a cost value, and determine a track of an object in the temporal sequence of digital images based on a set of connected first type edges and at least one second type edge.

Abstract: According to an embodiment a packet forwarding device is disclosed for forwarding data packets on a link within a communication network. The packet forwarding device is further configured to perform the following steps: measuring a load of the link; detecting if the load exceeds one of a plurality of threshold indicative for a level of congestion on the link; and sending a signal to another device in the communication network signalling the level of congestion.
