Abstract: A cell includes a housing having an opening orientated towards a first direction, an end cover assembly configured to cover the opening and including an end cover body and two kinds of electrode terminals having opposite polarities, and at least two electrode assembly groups arranged in parallel in the housing in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Each electrode assembly group includes at least one electrode assembly each including a main part and two kinds of battery tabs having opposite polarities and led out from the main part. Two adjacent battery tabs in every two adjacent electrode assembly groups have a same polarity and are connected in common to an electrode terminal having the same polarity. Two battery tabs away from each other in every two adjacent electrode assembly groups have a same polarity and are connected to an electrode terminal having the same polarity.

Abstract: A surgical robot navigation and positioning system, and a measurement viewing angle multi-objective optimization method includes a surgical operation planning system, a control host for data processing and robot control, a series robot having any degree of freedom, a positioning sensor and its adaptive positioning tools (4), and an environmental perception sensor. The measurement viewing angle multi-objective optimization method comprises: obtaining information on and positions of all positioning tools (4) of each link in a surgery process, and establishing a multi-objective minimization problem based on a decision variable; establishing a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system for each positioning tool (4); defining a non-interference margin function between the positioning tools (4), and at least two objective functions of minimization optimization; and setting constraint conditions to minimize the at least two objective functions at the same time.

Abstract: Methods for reducing contact resistance include performing a selective titanium silicide (TiSi) deposition process on a middle of the line (MOL) contact structure that includes a cavity in a substrate of dielectric material. The contact structure also includes a silicon-based connection portion at a bottom of the cavity. The selective TiSi deposition process is selective to silicon-based material over dielectric material. The methods also include performing a selective deposition process of a metal material on the MOL contact structure. The selective deposition process is selective to TiSi material over dielectric material and forms a silicide capping layer on the silicon-based connection portion. The methods further include performing a seed layer deposition process of the metal material on the contact structure.

Abstract: A multimedia playback method includes: playing first multimedia data, switching from playing the first multimedia data to playing a multimedia frame corresponding to a target starting point of second multimedia data, based on a media switching operation, the second multimedia data including multimedia frames corresponding to a plurality of time points, the plurality of time points including pre-configured P candidate starting points, and the target starting point belonging to the P candidate starting points, and switching, during the playing of the second multimedia data, from playing a first multimedia frame in the second multimedia data to playing a new multimedia frame corresponding to a new starting point, based on a target triggering operation, the first multimedia frame being a multimedia frame played at a moment at which the target triggering operation is performed, and the new starting point being a candidate starting point other than the target starting point. .

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compounds, compositions, and methods for identifying substrates of E3 ubiquitin ligases. The proteins, vectors, compositions, and may be utilized in methods for orthogonal ubiquitin transfer (OUT) between variant components of the ubiquitin cascade such as a variant ubiquitin (UB), a variant ubiquitin activating enzyme (E1), a variant ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2), and a variant ubiquitin ligase (E3), which may include a variant HECT type, U-box type, RBR type, and/or Ring type E3 ligase. The variant components of the ubiquitin cascade typically include one or more mutations relative to their wild-type counterparts, such as amino acid substitutions, such that the variant components interact specifically and orthogonally with each of their variant components and do not interact with the wild-type counterpart of their variant components.

Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting alignment of a substrate during a printing process are described. In an embodiment, a printing apparatus may comprise an apparatus polarization area. A substrate may be configured with a substrate polarization area. The substrate may be arranged on the printing apparatus during printing such that the substrate polarization area overlaps the apparatus polarization area to form an alignment area. During printing, light may be radiated onto the alignment area to generate polarized light. The polarized light may be received by a polarized light receiving device. Characteristics of the light received by the polarized light receiving device may be monitored for variations. The variations may indicate that the substrate is not properly aligned for printing on the printing apparatus.

Abstract: Technologies are provided for filtering user's actions based on user's mood. User's actions may include online actions. To prevent “in the heat of the moment” actions, which a user may regret later, a mood based filter may identify a user action such as posting a message to a social network, a professional network, an email network, a blog, or an instant message network. An automatic system action may then be taken based on the detected user's mood. In some examples, the user's mood may be assigned to a numeric or alphanumeric category. Various system actions such as blocking or delaying the user action may be tied or associated to the user's mood category through one or more predefined, customizable rules. In other examples, a user confirmation of the user action may also be included in addition to the automatic system action.

Abstract: Printing apparatuses for detection of substrate alignment, methods for manufacture and use thereof, and substrates are disclosed. One printing apparatus may include a printing assembly having at least one conductive alignment sensor with a plurality of inductive coils configured to generate an electromagnetic field. The printing assembly may receive at least one substrate having at least one conductive portion and align the substrate such that the plurality of inductive coils and the conductive portion substantially overlap with each other to form an electromagnetic field having a direction from the at least one conductive alignment sensor to the at least one conductive portion. The direction of the electromagnetic field with respect to the conductive alignment sensor may form an angle. The conductive alignment sensor may be configured to detect a movement of the conductive portion when a change to the angle causes a current change through the plurality of inductive coils.
