Patent number: 10127342Abstract: A method of designing and modifying electrode materials for a battery device is disclosed in this invention. The method includes constructing a first principle model for battery electrode material properties estimation and screening. The method also includes applying a structural and compositional modification on the first principle model. In some embodiments, the method includes developing a hybrid physical model to estimate the battery cell cycling behavior with the calculated and experimental parameters. The method and the simulation models have the advantage that both atomic level and physical structure will be considered for the battery electrode and its modified derivatives with small compositional or structural changes.

Patent number: 9629863Abstract: Natural occurring inhibitors of cyclin-dependent protein kinase 5 (Cdk5), isolated from the root of Rhodiola rosea are structurally different from the known Cdk inhibitors. They show selectivity among different Cdks and efficacy to inhibit Cdk via a mixed-type of inhibition, which should lead to less toxicity and side-effects. They are useful in preventing and treating diseases and disorders associated with aberrant Cdk5 activities, such as acute and/or chronic pain, neuropathic pain, diabetes mellitus, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and neuropathological disorders.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2014Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: THE HONG KONG UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Nancy Yuk-Yu Ip, Fanny Chui-Fun Ip, Wing Yu Fu, Guangmiao Fu

Patent number: 8584196Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for efficiently evaluating a security policy. During operation, the system retrieves one or more roles associated with the user. Next, the system checks if a session-level cache exists for a set of Access Control Entries (ACEs) which is associated with the one or more roles. If this session-level cache exists, the system returns the set of ACEs from the session-level cache. Otherwise, the system generates the set of ACEs associated with the one or more roles from an Access Control List (ACL). During operation, the system can also update the one or more roles associated with the user and update the set of ACEs based on the updated one or more roles and the ACL. The system subsequently updates the session level cache with the updated set of ACEs and updated one or more roles.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2008Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Mohammed Irfan Rafiq, Sabina Petride, Sam Idicula, Ashwini Surpur, Nipun Agarwal, Bhushan Khaladkar, Tim Wing Yu
