Abstract: A host device acting as a wireless hotspot can suffer poor network performance when many client devices are connected simultaneously, particularly devices with a poor connection speed. To improve network performance, the host device can identify a client device with the worst network connectivity based on wireless signal strength, a peer-to-peer (P2P) packet drop rate, and a P2P ping response time, and instruct the client device to scan the other client devices to identify the best candidate to serve as a new host device for the client device. The hotspot functionality can then be offloaded to the new host device with respect to the client device, thereby reducing the number of client devices connected directly to the main host device and improving the network performance of the client device.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method for non-destructive inspection of cell etch redeposition. In some embodiments of the method, a grayscale image of a plurality of cells on a wafer is captured. The grayscale image provides a top down view of the cells and, in some embodiments, is captured in situ after etching to form the cells. The cells are identified in the grayscale image to determine non-region of interest (non-ROI) pixels corresponding to the cells. The non-ROI pixels are subtracted from the grayscale image to determine ROI pixels. The ROI pixels are remaining pixels after the subtracting and correspond to material on sidewalls of, and in recesses between, the cells. An amount of etch redeposition on the sidewalls and in the recesses is then scored based on gray levels of the ROI pixels. Further, the wafer is processed based on the score.

Abstract: A negative electrode plate, including a negative current collector and a negative active material layer disposed on at least one side of the negative current collector. The negative active material layer includes a negative active material, including hard carbon particles and graphite particles. The hard carbon particles have a lamellar structure. Based on a quantity of the hard carbon particles, a quantity of the hard carbon particles with an aspect ratio of 3 to 7 accounts for a %, and 30?a?70. The face-to-face contact in the lamellar hard carbon active material in the negative electrode plate replaces the point-to-point contact in the hard carbon active material of conventional morphology, thereby effectively reducing the internal resistance of the negative active material layer, and effectively increasing the compacted density of the negative active material layer and reducing the porosity, and in turn, increasing the energy density of the lithium-ion battery.

Abstract: Implementations relate to a system for hosting independent content items anchored to another online resource. The independent content items are themselves online resources. Implementations also relate to enhancing search results by incorporating independent content items anchored to a resource identified in the search result page. An example method involves identifying resources to be included in search results for a query, determining that independent content items are associated with a resource, and adding an independent content item summary control to the search result for the resource. This control enables users to access an independent content feed interface for further exploration of the independent content items anchored to the resource. The search result page, enriched with these independent content item overview, is then delivered to the user's device.
