  • Publication number: 20150205514
    Abstract: A method for using a scroll bar in a multiple panel user interface. The method includes determining that two or more panels are displayed on a user interface, the two or more panels operated by a same scroll bar. The method includes detecting a cursor movement over the same scroll bar and responsive to the cursor movement over the scroll bar, displaying an icon. The method includes receiving an active panel selection via the icon and indicating the selected panel is active. The method further includes detecting movement of the same scroll bar on the selected panel and scrolling a displayed content of the selected panel corresponding to the movement of the same scroll bar.

  • Patent number: 9023520
    Abstract: A lithium ion battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a microporous polymer separator disposed between the negative electrode and the positive electrode, and a polymer having a chelating agent tethered thereto. The polymer is incorporated into the lithium ion battery such that the chelating agent complexes with metal cations in a manner sufficient to not affect movement of lithium ions across the microporous polymer separator during operation of the lithium ion battery.

  • Publication number: 20150093628
    Abstract: One example of a lithium ion battery component is a lithium ion battery separator including a planar microporous polymer membrane and a chelating agent bonded to the planar microporous polymer membrane through a linking group. The chelating agent is bonded such that the permanent dipole moment of the chelating agent is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the planar microporous polymer membrane.

  • Publication number: 20140242452
    Abstract: A lithium-ion cell has a positive electrode comprising at least one active material comprising a lithium transition metal compound in a binder comprising at least one binder material with functional groups selected from alkali and alkaline earth salts of acid groups and hydroxyl groups, amine groups, isocyanate groups, urethane groups, urea groups, amide groups, and combinations of these; a negative electrode comprising metallic lithium or a lithium host material with appropriately low operation voltage vs. metallic lithium; a nonaqueous solution of a lithium salt; and an electrically nonconductive, ion-pervious separator positioned between the electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20120221893
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products relating to test automation management are described. In some aspects, a request for initiating at least one test automation task is received by an electronic computing device from a mobile device. A web service associated with the received request and at least one automation tool are identified. At least one automation tool is launched in response to the received request. The launched at least one automation tool executes at least one test script based on the received request, the at least one test script can include a sequence of instructions. Test data are loaded based on at least a portion of the executed a sequence of instructions for the at least one test automation task, and one or more test results associated with the executed at least one test script are stored.

  • Publication number: 20100153835
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a method is provided for linking an annotation to a document object of a document. Here, a structured document format associated with the document is accessed and this structured document format defines document objects and object identifiers identifying the document objects. The annotation assigned to the document object is received and an object identifier that identifies the document object is identified. This object identifier comprises at least one other document object that is related to the document object. The object identifier is then associated with the annotation and this association links the annotation to the document object.
