Abstract: Composite silicon based materials are described that are effective active materials for lithium ion batteries. The composite materials comprise processed, e.g., high energy mechanically milled, silicon suboxide and graphitic carbon in which at least a portion of the graphitic carbon is exfoliated into graphene sheets. The composite materials have a relatively large surface area, a high specific capacity against lithium, and good cycling with lithium metal oxide cathode materials. The composite materials can be effectively formed with a two-step high energy mechanical milling process. In the first milling process, silicon suboxide can be milled to form processed silicon suboxide, which may or may not exhibit crystalline silicon x-ray diffraction. In the second milling step, the processed silicon suboxide is milled with graphitic carbon. Composite materials with a high specific capacity and good cycling can be obtained in particular with balancing of the processing conditions.

Abstract: A MMU may read page descriptors (using virtual addresses as an index) in a burst mode from page tables in a system memory. The page descriptors may include intermediate physical addresses (“IPAs”, in stage 1) and corresponding physical addresses (“PAs”, in stage 2). The virtual address in conjunction with page table base address register is used to index page descriptors into main memory. The MMU may identify a first group of contiguous IPAs beginning at a base IPA and a second group of contiguous IPAs beginning at an offset from the base IPA. The first and second groups may be separated by at least one IPA not contiguous with either the first or second group. The MMU may read a first PA from the page tables that corresponds to the base IPA. The MMU may store an entry in a buffer that includes the PA and a first linearity tag.

The silicon-based blended graphite negative electrodes can be matched with positive electrodes comprising nickel rich lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides to form high energy density cells with good cycling properties.
