  • Patent number: 11977324
    Abstract: In some aspects, a mask shape is represented by vertices that are connected by segments. A correction to the mask shape is received. The correction may include displacements of the segments and displacements of the vertices. The mask shape is modified by a processor, as follows. The segments are moved according to the segment displacements. As part of this process, vertices that are endpoints of the moved segments are replicated. The replicated vertices are then collapsed. The resulting vertices are then moved according to the vertex displacements. This process of modifying the mask shape may be used as part of a mask synthesis process, to synthesize or correct the mask shapes according to some desired result.

  • Publication number: 20240128531
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for recycling all types of lithium batteries. First, the lithium battery waste is acid-leached to obtain a solution containing most of metal ions. After filtering, the solution is separated from the remaining solids, and then the obtained solution is subjected to separate precipitation many times. After separately adjusting the pH value of the solution many times, adding precipitants with a high selectivity ratio, and matching with filtration and separation reaction, all ions in the lithium battery waste are sequentially precipitated in forms of iron phosphate (FePO4), aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3), manganese oxide (MnO2), dicobalt trioxide (cobalt oxide, Co2O3), nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)2), and lithium carbonate (Li2CO3).
