Publication number: 20240128531Abstract: 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).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Cleanaway Company LimitedInventors: CHIH-HUANG LAI, HSIN-FANG CHANG, TZU-MIN CHENG, YUNG-FA YANG, TSUNG-TIEN CHEN, ZHENG-YU CHENG, CHI-YUNG CHANG

Patent number: 9236068Abstract: A hard bias (HB) structure for producing longitudinal bias to stabilize a free layer in an adjacent spin valve is disclosed and includes a composite seed layer made of at least Ta and a metal layer having a fcc(111) or hcp(001) texture to enhance perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in an overlying (Co/Ni)x laminated layer. The (Co/Ni)x HB layer deposition involves low power and high Ar pressure to avoid damaging Co/Ni interfaces and thereby preserves PMA. A capping layer is formed on the HB layer to protect against etchants in subsequent process steps. After initialization, magnetization direction in the HB layer is perpendicular to the sidewalls of the spin valve and generates an Mrt value that is greater than from an equivalent thickness of CoPt. A non-magnetic metal separation layer may be formed on the capping layer and spin valve to provide an electrical connection between top and bottom shields.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2013Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Headway Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Zhang Kunliang, Li Min, Zhou Yuchen, Zheng Min

Publication number: 20140258283Abstract: In a file searching method using a computing device, the computing device connects to one or more terminal devices. An electronic file is obtained from a database when a file name is inputted from one of the terminal devices, and the file is analyzed to obtain a title and text content of the file. One or more keywords are extracted from each of the text content of the file using a term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) rule. One or more interested terms are obtained from the keywords according to an importance factor of each of the keywords. The method obtains search results from the database according to the interested terms, and ranks the files according to a relevance degree between each file in the search results and the interested terms. The computing device sends the files with a ranking order to the terminal device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2014Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicants: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD., GDS SOFTWARE (SHENZHEN) CO.,LTDInventors: JEN-HSIUNG CHARNG, CHI-LING LIN, CHIEN-WEI LEE, I-CHEN LEE, ZHENG-MIN OU
