  • Publication number: 20240120568
    Abstract: Among other things, the present disclosure relates to re-purposing used lithium-ion batteries. The present disclosure includes treating an electrode using a solvent prior to electrochemically relithiating the electrode. In some embodiments, the relithiation may be done using a roll-to-roll device, wherein the electrode may be secured on a first pin and a second pin, then it may be unwound and submerged in an electrolyte solution. Lithium ions may be inserted into the electrode using a voltage. The layer of lithium may provide lithium ions to the electrode.

  • Patent number: 11664966
    Abstract: A co-frequency co-time full duplex (CCFD) signal receiving method includes: taking the sent baseband signal as the self-interference reference signal, reconstructing self-interference, and then performing primary self-interference cancellation on the received signal; processing, by using a timing synchronization loop, the signal after the primary self-interference cancellation, realizing timing recovery at the optimal sampling point of the useful signal through resampling a, and controlling resampling b1 and resampling b2 after performing low-pass filtering on the timing error signal in the timing synchronization loop, to recover the optimal sampling points of the self-interference reference signal and the received signal respectively; and performing joint self-interference cancellation and equalization on the resampled self-interference reference signal and the resampled received signal, and receiving the useful signal through signal demodulation.

  • Patent number: 10399853
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of producing metal sulfide materials, including cathode materials. In some embodiments, the metal sulfide material comprises a secondary cluster of metal sulfide nanoparticles surrounded by a carbon layer. The carbon layer may be created by carbonizing one or more polymer layers disposed about the secondary cluster. The carbonized layer may aid in optimizing performance of the cathode material. Also disclosed herein are methods, processes, devices, and systems for removing hydrogen sulfide from a waste stream. In some embodiments, the waste stream containing hydrogen sulfide is a gas. The waste stream can be combined with a solvent containing a metal-catalyst complex, and the reaction of hydrogen sulfide with the metal results in production of a hydrogen gas and a solid comprising metal sulfide.

    Abstract: A voice quality evaluation method, apparatus, and system comprises an obtained voice data packet is parsed, and a frame content characteristic of the data packet is determined according to a parse result, for example, the frame content characteristic is a silence frame and a voice frame. Then, a voice sequence is divided into statements according to the determined frame content characteristic, and the statements are divided into multiple frame loss events; after non-voice parameters are extracted according to the frame loss events, voice quality of each statement is evaluated according to a preset voice quality evaluation model and according to the non-voice parameters. Finally, voice quality of the entire voice sequence is evaluated according to the voice quality of each statement. By using this solution, prediction precision can be improved significantly, and accuracy of an evaluation result can be improved.
