Abstract:
A system and method for caching data in wireless application protocol (WAP) enabled services caches static data and facilitates dynamic creation of user-specific information to provide a customized output. The mobile cache generates the user-specific information in WML in real-time from cached information according to user-specified preferences. A change trigger triggers information delivery after a predetermined amount of cached information changes. The system may also include an image converter to ensure that image objects can be viewed easily on WAP-enabled devices having small display screens and a document converter to dynamically compose information from selected data based on XML-based content tagging.
Abstract:
A production method for producing a fuel cell, includes spinning a precursor consisting of a salt of at least one metal chosen from Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Ho, Yb, Sr, Ba, Mn, Co, Mg, and Ga, a solvent, and a macromolecular polymer to produce nanofibers of the precursor containing the salt of the metal. The method further includes calcining the nanofibers of the precursor at a temperature ranging from 550° C. to 650° C. for 2 to 4 hours, and making a solid electrolyte material composed of the nanofibers obtained from the calcining. The resulting solid electrolyte material constitutes a part of a fuel cell.
Abstract:
A connection method and a management server are provided. Each electronic apparatus detects connection behavior supported by a network, where the electronic apparatus is located, through the management server and accordingly generates a corresponding connection profile and stores it to the management server. The management server reads two connection profiles corresponding to two electronic apparatuses when the management server receives a connection request desired to connect from one of the electronic apparatuses to another one, and dynamically adjusts a plurality of connection detection procedures based on a connection success/failure record. The management server tests the connection detection procedures to determine whether a connection can be established between the two electronic apparatuses so as to obtain a session profile for establishing the connection.
Abstract:
Innovations in the area of encoding blocks using hash-based block matching improve coding efficiency in many situations. For example, some of the innovations relate to encoder-side decisions about when to use block flipping during prediction. Other innovations relate to encoder-side decisions about when to use skip mode for a block predicted using intra block copy (“BC”) prediction.
Abstract:
Innovations in the areas of hash table construction and availability checking reduce computational complexity of hash-based block matching. For example, some of the innovations speed up the process of constructing a hash table or reduce the size of a hash table. This can speed up and reduce memory usage for hash-based block matching within a picture (for block vector estimation) or between different pictures (for motion estimation). Other innovations relate to availability checking during block vector estimation that uses a hash table.
Abstract:
Innovations in encoder-side options for intra block copy (“BC”) prediction mode facilitate intra BC prediction that is more effective in terms of rate-distortion performance and/or computational efficiency of encoding. For example, some of the innovations relate to concurrently performing block vector (“BV”) estimation and making block splitting decisions for a block. Other innovations relate to selectively merging blocks into a larger block during BV estimation.
Abstract:
An RF coil device and an MRI apparatus allowing a connection relationship between input RF channels and output RF channels to be controlled by a smaller number of switch elements are provided. The RF coil device includes multiple coil segments and a multi-selection switch. Input terminals of the multi-selection switch are each connected to a different coil segment. An output terminal of the multi-selection switch leads to an RF output channel. A control terminal of the multi-selection switch is used to receive a control signal so as to select a coil segment for connection to the output terminal. Multiple coil segments connected to the input terminals are not in consecutive positions, and the number of coil segments by which any two of the multiple coil segments are spaced apart is no fewer than the maximum number of coil segments required for one MRI imaging less 1. The MRI apparatus includes the RF coil device.
Abstract:
A system and a method for testing information handling systems is provided. The system includes a top cover having a memory circuit and a bottom platform for receiving a test printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) including a slot. The system includes a sensor determining the relative position of the memory circuit and the slot; and a host controller coupled to the test PCBA and the sensor through a port. A computer program product including a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable and executable code is also provided. The code instructs a processor in a host controller in a test fixture to load a memory circuit on a crane; engage a sub-module carrying the memory circuit; load a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA); place a memory device on a slot in the PCBA; perform a system test on the PCBA; disengage the sub-module and the test fixture.

A cobalt-containing phosphate material can comprise lithium (Li) (or, alternatively or additionally other alkali metal(s)), cobalt (Co), phosphate (PO4), and at least two additional metals other than Li and Co (e.g., as dopants and/or metal oxides), and can have a molar ratio of Co to a total amount of Co and the additional metals (e.g., as dopants and/or metal oxides) of at least 0.2, at least 0.3, at least 0.5, at least 0.7, or at least about 0.75. The cobalt-containing phosphate material can have a molar ratio of Co to a total amount of Co and the additional metals (e.g., as dopants and/or metal oxides) ranging from 0.2 to 0.98, from 0.3 to 0.98, from 0.3 to 0.94, from 0.5 to 0.98, from 0.5 to 0.94, or alternatively from 0.5 to 0.9, from 0.7 to 0.9, or from 0.75 to 0.85.
