The fixture component includes a pair of end plates disposed on opposite side faces of the layered rectangular cells, and a metal strap with which the layered rectangular cells are fixed in their compressed state by connecting the tip of the metal strap to the end plate.

Provided herein are electrolytes for lithium-ion electrochemical cells, electrochemical cells employing the electrolytes, methods of making the electrochemical cells and methods of using the electrochemical cells over a wide temperature range. Included are electrolyte compositions comprising a lithium salt, a cyclic carbonate, a non-cyclic carbonate, and a linear ester and optionally comprising one or more additives.

The present invention provides a transparent inorganic oxide dispersion which makes it possible to improve the refractive index and mechanical characteristics and to maintain transparency by modifying the surface of inorganic oxide particles with a surface modifier having one or more reactive functional groups; and an inorganic oxide particle-containing resin composition in which the transparent inorganic oxide dispersion and a resin are compositely integrated by the polymerization reaction, a composition for sealing a light emitting element, a light emitting element, and a method for producing an inorganic oxide particle-containing resin composition; and a hard coat film which has high transparency and makes it possible to improve a refractive index and tenacity, an optical functional film, an optical lens and an optical component. The transparent inorganic oxide dispersion of the present invention comprises inorganic oxide particles which have a surface modified with a surface modifier having one or more reactive functional groups and have a disperse particle diameter of 1 nm or more and 20 nm or less, and a disperse medium, wherein the surface modifier is one or more kinds selected from the group consisting of a silane coupling agent, a modified silicone, and a surfactant.

The present invention relates to a friction material comprising a primary layer material layer and at least a partial coating of symmetrically shaped friction modifying particles on at least one surface of the primary layer for use as an anti-shudder friction material.

Techniques are described for wireless communication. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) includes receiving an instance of a discovery reference signal (DRS) on a beam over a shared radio frequency spectrum band; determining a public land mobile network identifier (PLMN ID) based at least in part on a time-frequency location of the instance of the DRS; and selectively performing a random access procedure based at least in part on the determined PLMN ID. A method for wireless communication at a base station includes transmitting an instance of a DRS on a beam over a shared radio frequency spectrum band; and transmitting a PLMN ID based at least in part on a time-frequency location of the DRS.

An exercise device comprising an elongate, substantially upright and substantially rigid weight-bearing portion which includes a gripping portion extending across the top of the device, the weight bearing portion having an open bottom and generally lying in a first plane; a pair of feet, one at either end of the weight-bearing portion, extending outwardly to stabilize the upright weight-bearing portion without interfering with the open bottom, the feet being spaced apart to permit the positioning of a user between the feet and be clear of interference from the feet. The feet and weight-bearing portion are configured so that the mass of the device is generally balanced about said first plan.

An embedded device is hibernated by storing state data of the embedded device to a non-volatile data storage medium, and powering off the embedded device. The embedded device is later woken up in response to the detection of a wakeup event from a wakeup source. The state data stored in the RAM of the embedded device comprises data in one or more registers of a Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the embedded device, one or more registers of a system-on-chip (SOC) of the embedded device, and the system and applications code and data. Waking the embedded device comprises loading, from the non-volatile data storage medium, initial memory sections that are used to run a kernel of the embedded device. State data that is stored in the RAM of a system may be compressed by dividing the RAM into a plurality of sections and independently choosing, for each section in the plurality of sections, a corresponding compression arithmetic.

A bite block intended primarily for use with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The bite block comprises a unitary fabrication that fits into the mouth between the teeth or dental ridges and has a central passageway large enough to accommodate a gastroscope. The bite block also has a surface which lies exterior to the oral cavity and extends around the outer surface of the lips. The bite block also has a suction device which can be attached to a standard suction machine via flexible tubing or with an intermediary hollow wand. The suction device extends through the bite block into the intra-oral portion thereof where it forms an angle and allows suction drainage of pooled oral fluids from the cheek cavity. The interior tip of the suction device has multiple slit like openings circumferentially arranged to allow suction drainage of oral fluids without becoming occluded by the oral tissues.

A method of treating whey for demineralization purposes, the method comprising a stage of separating out salts by transfer through electrodialysis or nanofiltration membranes, wherein, upstream from this separation stage, the method comprises in succession at least one step of exchanging divalent cations for protons and at least one step of exchanging divalent anions for chloride ions.

The present invention relates to a friction material comprising a carbon woven material layer and at least a partial coating of friction modifying particles on at least one surface of the primary layer for use as an anti-shudder friction material.

Embodiments of systems and methods for a storage system are disclosed. More particularly, in certain embodiments locations of storage devices may be allocated to store data when commands pertaining to that data are received. Specifically, in one embodiment a distributed RAID system comprising a set of data banks may be provided where the different performance characteristics associated with different areas of disks in the data bank may be taken into account when allocating physical segments to corresponding logical segments of a volume by allocating certain physical segments to a particular logical segment based upon a location of the physical segment or criteria associated with the logical segment.

This invention relates to the electric field method to reduce fibrous capsule formation adjacent to the surface of implanted medical devices and associated apparatus for generating electrical currents to reduce fibrous capsule formation. The invention has utility with medical devices or systems such as those providing long term parenteral drug delivery, fluid infusion or analyte sampling/measurement. The apparatus of the invention may be constructed as a part of the medical device or may be constructed of separate elements while providing the benefit of the electric fields to the medical device.

A mobile terminal comprising: a first body; a second body mounted in the first body to be folded and unfolded; and hinge units for rotatably hinge-connecting the first and second bodies, wherein the hinge units comprise: a first hinge unit mounted in the first body; a second hinge unit mounted in the second body, and rotatably engaged with the first hinge unit to have the same rotation angle as that of the first hinge unit; and a connection unit for rotatably connecting the first hinge unit to the second hinge unit, whereby the first body can be rotated up to 360° with respect to the second body so that videos and satellite broadcasting can be viewed more conveniently.
