  • Patent number: 12176512
    Abstract: A method for direct recycling of degraded lithium-ion battery (LIB) cathodes includes relithiating degraded lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM) by mixing the cathode particles with a eutectic molten-salt solution and heating the mixture at ambient pressure over a period of time, followed by a short-time thermal annealing. Combining low-temperature relithiation using the eutectic molten-salt solution with thermal annealing provides successful regeneration and full recovery of the LIB to its original storage capacity, cycling stability and rate capability to the levels of the pristine materials. The method is useful to recycle and remanufacture degraded cathode materials for LIB or sodium-ion batteries.

  • Patent number: 12099823
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for reducing register pressure. Loops of a computer program with a number of live variables that exceeds a threshold number, such as the number of available registers with capacity to store data, are identified. Such identified loops may be the to be subject to high register pressure. Upon identifying such loops in the computer program, chains within each identified loop are identified, where each chain includes load and store instructions from the same induction address and where the variable offsets of the load and store instructions are loop invariants. The address expressions for the load and store instructions in the identified chains may then be modified or changed to reuse common variable offsets using an analysis and transformation process. By reusing common variable offsets, there are less variable offsets that need to be stored in the registers thereby mitigating register pressure.
