Abstract:
In one embodiment, a system comprising a battery set comprising plural battery cells configured in a circuit; and a control system configured to switch current flow in the circuit from bi-directional flow to and from the battery set to mono-directional flow to or from the battery set based on an over-charging or over-discharging condition.
Abstract:
A method for detecting a single-finger rotation gesture and a gesture detecting circuit thereof are provided. The gesture detecting circuit comprises a quadrant dividing unit, a register, a control unit, a comparing unit, and an outputting unit. The quadrant dividing unit, according to the center point, divides a touch panel into at least three quadrants and sets a plurality of data codes respectively corresponding to the quadrants. Within a predetermined time, the control unit controls the register to sequentially record the data codes respectively corresponding to the touched quadrants. When the predetermined time is reached, the comparing unit compares to judge whether the temporary data buffered in the register is the same with the default data. If the temporary data is the same with the default data, then the outputting unit outputs a rotation gesture signal.

Abstract:
A cover assembly for a Lithium-ion battery container to improve the durability of the battery. A high pressure injection molded polymer is combined with flanges disposed on the current collecting posts of the battery to provide an improved seal for the battery cover, especially at the interface of the cover and the current collecting posts. The injection molded polymer is fused to the flanges, current collecting posts and container cover to result in a diffusion path of increased length for gases and/or liquids which are known to enter or escape from battery containers. Additional polymer layers can be applied to the assembly to further improve the seal.
Abstract:
A rechargeable battery system having a plurality of cells in series circuits for high voltage applications. Cells, cell sets and cell packs in series circuits are protected from over-charging with self-discharging devices. The rechargeable battery system is protected from over-charging and over-discharging and charging is controlled to be resumed by an over-charge/over-discharge printed circuit board or the charger.
Abstract:
A method for double click detection includes the following steps. Firstly whether first event is detected is determined, if so, first corresponding position is obtained, a period counting is triggered, and first flag is set. Then whether the period ends is judged; if not and the first flag exists, a counter is incremented and second flag is set when first ending event is detected; if not and the second flag exists, second corresponding position is obtained and third flag is set when second event is detected; if not and the third flag exists, the counter is incremented when second ending event is detected; if so, a double click event is determined when the incremented value is greater than a threshold and a distance between the first and the second positions is smaller a threshold.

Abstract:
A family of Li-ion battery cathode materials and methods of synthesizing the materials. The cathode material is a defective crystalline lithium transition metal phosphate of a specific chemical form. The material can be synthesized in air, eliminating the need for a furnace having an inert gas atmosphere. Excellent cycling behavior and charge/discharge rate capabilities are observed in batteries utilizing the cathode materials.
Abstract:
A method of stripping a remnant metal is disclosed. The remnant metal is formed on a transitional silicide of a silicon substrate. Firstly, a surface oxidation process is performed on the transitional silicide, so as to form a protective layer on the transitional silicide. Then, a HPM stripping process is performed on the silicon substrate in order to strip the remnant metal.
