  • Publication number: 20260135243
    Abstract: A battery cell, a battery, and an electrical device are disclosed. The battery cell includes a shell with a pressure relief component on a wall portion. The pressure relief component has a first groove that defines a pressure relief region designed to split when internal pressure rises. A second groove is formed on a surface of the component to guide part of the pressure relief region to flip outward during venting. The second groove includes opposing side surfaces arranged at different angles relative to the surface, with the side surface nearer the relief region forming the smaller angle. This structure improves control of the pressure relief process, reduces the risk of premature opening caused by surface irregularities, and extends the service life of the battery cell.

  • Publication number: 20260081296
    Abstract: A battery cell, a battery, and an electrical apparatus are disclosed. The battery cell includes a shell having a first wall and a second wall joined together. The first wall is formed with a groove that ruptures during pressure relief to release internal pressure. The second wall is located adjacent to the first wall in a first direction, and the groove includes a segment aligned with the second wall in that direction. The first wall also has a second groove, and in the thickness direction of the first wall, the projection of the second groove lies between the projection of the groove segment and the outer surface of the second wall. This structure allows the second groove to absorb excess material produced during formation of the first groove segment, thereby reducing arching or loss of flatness in the first wall and improving stability of the battery cell.

  • Publication number: 20260038958
    Abstract: A battery cell, a battery, and an electrical device are disclosed. The battery cell includes a shell with a wall portion and a pressure relief component arranged on the wall portion. The pressure relief component has a first weak portion defining a pressure relief region and a second weak portion that guides the region to flip open during venting. The first weak portion includes a weak section spaced from the second weak portion in a first direction. The spacing distance and the cross-sectional area of the second weak portion are controlled within defined ranges to ensure both effective rupture and guided flipping of the pressure relief region. This structure enables the battery cell to achieve rapid and reliable pressure relief, improving safety and stability in operation.

  • Patent number: 11645737
    Abstract: Skin smoothing is applied to images using a bilateral filter and aided by a skin map. In one example a method includes receiving an image having pixels at an original resolution. The image is buffered. The image is downscaled from the original resolution to a lower resolution. A bilateral filter is applied to pixels of the downscaled image. The filtered pixels of the downscaled image are blended with pixels of the image having the original resolution, and the blended image is produced.

  • Patent number: 9805440
    Abstract: In an embodiment, at least one computer readable storage medium has instructions stored thereon for causing a system to send, from a processor to a task execution device, a first call to execute a first subroutine of a set of chained subroutines. The first subroutine may have a first subroutine output argument that includes a first token to indicate that first output data from execution of the first subroutine is intermediate data of the set of chained subroutines. The instructions are also for causing the system, responsive to inclusion of the first token in the first subroutine output argument, to enable the processor to execute one or more operations while the task execution device executes the first subroutine. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
