Abstract: A technique for processing the black powder materials of spent Li-ion battery cathodes is described. The black powder materials of spent Li-ion battery cathodes are irradiated by high frequency electromagnetic fields. Under the action of mechanical oscillation and temperature rising, the black powder materials of spent Li-ion battery cathodes decompose and recombine. The water-soluble Li-based materials are separated from the metal oxide solids which are insoluble by water washing, and finally the lithium-ion solution and metal oxide solids are obtained. The method uses high frequency electromagnetic fields to irradiate the black powder materials of spent Li-ion battery cathodes and wash the product by water, which has the advantages of green, high efficiency, rapid, etc., and is an important technique of processing spent Li-ion batteries.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing deep learning samples for geographic information extraction from remote sensing images. The samples can be produced by fusing two results from flood fill algorithm in image processing and deep learning model in artificial intelligence. In deep learning reasoning by changing an input image, such as rotation, translation, scaling, color & saturation adjustment and so on, multi-input images can be gotten and the corresponding output results are fused as a result by a rule of “Output by Bitwise Maximum Grayscale”. Finally the fusion result is perfected by man-machine interaction and supplemented to sample set. The method can improve the efficiency of producing deep learning samples, reduce the subjectivity of manual sample production and ensure the sample quality.

Abstract: Devices and methods are described for reducing etching due to galvanic effect within a printed circuit board that may be used, for example, in a data storage device, such as a card-type data storage device. Specifically, a contact trace is coupled to a contact finger that has a substantially larger surface area than the contact trance, and that is configured to couple the data storage device to a host device. The contact trace is electrically isolated from the rest of the circuitry during a fabrication process. The contact finger and an exposed portion of the contact trace are plated with a common material to reduce galvanic etching of the contact trace during fabrication. The contact trace is then connected to an impedance trace though at least one of a component and a bond wire.
