BETA-DELITHIATED LAYERED NICKEL OXIDE ELECTROCHEMICALLY ACTIVE CATHODE MATERIAL
[ "FIG3" ]
[ "FIG3 is a perspective view of a primary alkaline battery of the present invention including a voltage indicator " ]
[ "Referring to FIG3, a battery 310 including a label 320 that has an indicator, or tester, 330 incorporated within the label 320 to determine, for example, the voltage, capacity, state of charge, and/or power of the battery 310 is shown. The label 320 may be a laminated multi-layer film with a transparent or translucent layer bearing the label graphics and text. The label 320 may be made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and other similar polymer materials. The tester 330 may include, for example, a thermochromic or an electrochromic indicator. In a thermochromic battery tester, the indicator may be placed in electrical contact with the housing and the end cap the battery 310. The consumer activates the indicator by manually depressing a switch located within an electrical circuit included within the tester 330. Once the switch is depressed, the consumer has connected an anode of the battery 310, via the end cap, to a cathode of the battery 310, via the housing, through the thermochromic tester. The thermochromic tester may include a silver conductor that has a variable width so that the resistance of the conductor also varies along its length. The current generates heat that changes the color of a thermochromic ink display that is over the silver conductor as the current travels through the silver conductor. The tester 330 may be arranged as a gauge to indicate, for example, the relative capacity of the battery 310. The higher the current the more heat is generated and the more the gauge will change to indicate that the battery 310 is good." ]

[ "FIG4 is a graph of the attenuation coefficient versus wavelength for silica in the prior art. FIG4 illustrates why wavelengths of 1550 nm are desirable in optical fibers that utilize silica. In particular, the attenuation coefficient at 1550 nm is much lower than at other wavelengths. For example, the attenuation coefficient at a wavelength of 1550 nm may be as much as five times lower than at a wavelength of 980 nm, which is the typical wavelength used to pump ROPAs. Since scattered light 210 has the same wavelength as light 108, the use of 1550 nm wavelengths for optical communications over optical fiber 100 (e.g., when core 106 comprises silica) ensures that scattered light 210 is attenuated much less than the typical 980 nm pump light used in ROPAs." ]

Further, portions of optical fiber 100 may be doped to modify a refractive index of different portions of optical fiber 100. Doping portions of optical fiber 100 allows for the control of the transmissive properties of optical fiber 100. ", "FIG2 is a cross-section of optical fiber 100 in an illustrative example. As illustrated in FIG2, a PV cell 202 is located at splice 104 between first length 102 and second length 103. PV cell 202 comprises any component, system, or device that is capable of converting light into electricity. PV cell 202 may be referred to as a photon converter in some examples. In the examples described herein, PV cell 202 does not obscure, obstruct, or interfere with light 108 travelling through core 106 of optical fiber 100. For example, PV cell 202 may extend outward from an outer circumference 204 of core 106 to an outer circumference 206 of inner cladding 110, as illustrated in FIG2. However, PV cell 202 may extend outward from outer circumference 204 of core 106 to an outer circumference 208 of outer cladding 112 in other examples.

In both examples, core 106-1 of first length 102 is joined to core 106-2 of second length 103 at splice 104 and traverses through void 212 of PV cell 202. This allows light 108 to traverse across splice 104. For instance, splice 104 may comprise a fusion splice or a mechanical fiber splice.

[ "A specific period where present time is located may be distinguished according to image shooting time. A specific position where the user may shoot in the present period may be determined through a timetable habit, stored in the local database, of the user. For example, the user usually has lunch in a dining room at 12 o'clock and the user usually reads books in a living room after 8 p.m. In this way, it may be substantially determined whether the user is located in an indoor environment, an outdoor environment or a specific scenario according to the image shooting time. In addition, outdoor GPS signal strength is usually higher than indoor GPS signal strength. Therefore, it may be substantially distinguished whether the user is located in the indoor environment or the outdoor environment according to the GPS signal strength. It can be understood that a color temperature of an indoor light source is usually lower than 5,000K. For example, a color temperature of a tungsten filament lamp is 2,760-2,900K and a color temperature of a flashlight is 3,800K. A color temperature of an outdoor light source is usually higher than 5,000K. For example, a color temperature of the midday sunlight is 5,000K and a color temperature of the blue sky is 10,OOOK. Therefore, it may be substantially determined whether a present color temperature should be higher than 5,000K or lower than 5,000K according to the indoor environment or outdoor environment where the user is located. As illustrated in FIG16, for example, a color temperature of a light source R is 4,500K, a color temperature of a light source G is 3,500K, a color temperature of a light source B is 7,000K, and it is determined that the present color temperature should be 5,000K according to a scenario parameter. It is apparent that the light source R is closest to the present color temperature of the scenario and thus the light source R is determined as a primary light source. Therefore, the primary light source may be determined.", "When the primary light source is determined according to the respective areas of the multiple light sources, the areas of the multiple light sources may be compared and the light source with the largest area is selected as the primary light source. For example, in FIG16, an area of the light source R is larger than that of the light source G and larger than that of the light source B, and thus the light source R is determined as the primary light source." ]

The \"effective\" interference means that the interference power is higher than the effective noise power. In RX beamforming case, only interference from other TXs whose beam direction is the same to the UE's current RX beam direction will be the effective interference.

In FIG5, apparent salinity of a far detector (ASALFar) in parts per thousand (ppk) is plotted against apparent salinity of a near detector (ASALNear) in ppk, where the plot provides a parallelogram bracketing expected values for borehole and formation salinity. The ASAL values may be calculated as illustrated by Equations [1] and [2] and the accompanying description. The lower left corner of the parallelogram represents zero salinity in the borehole and the formation. The upper left corner of the parallelogram represents zero salinity in the formation and 200 ppk in the borehole. The upper right corner of the parallelogram represents 200 ppk salinity in the borehole and formation. The lower right corner of the parallelogram represents zero borehole salinity and 200 ppk formation salinity. The lines along the parallelogram represent constant values of borehole or formation salinity, as the case may be for each salinity value.

These calculations may be based on using Equations [1] and [2]. The formation water salinity (ASALFM) and the borehole water salinity (ASALBH) may be determined by the intersection of the ASALFar point with the ASALNear point, as shown, inside the parallelogram along the constant value lines for ASALFM and ASALBH.

[ "FIG7 illustrates an embodiment of a connection device 612 that includes at least one bracket biased laterally to apply a compressive force within the connection device 612. The first bracket 616 includes a biased portion 632 with a curve and/or angle such that the biased portion contacts the second bracket 618 and applies a compressive force thereto. For example, the biased portion 632 may include a resilient material such that the biased portion 632 may elastically deform. The elastic deformation of the biased portion 632 may provide the compressive force between the biased portion and the second bracket 618. In some embodiments, the biased portion 632 may apply a compressive force to a first post 628 of the second bracket 618. In other embodiments, the biased portion 632 may apply a compressive force to a second post 630 of the second bracket 618. In some embodiments, the biased portion 632 may apply a compressive force toward the sidewall 607 of the chassis 606. In other embodiments, the biased portion 632 may apply a compressive force away from the sidewall 607 of the chassis 606. In at least one embodiment, a chassis 606 and a glass cover 604 may have an opposing connection device opposite the connection device 612 such that a biased portion of the opposing connection device applies a force that opposes at least a portion of the compressive force by the biased portion 632 in the connection device 612. ", "In some embodiments, the first bracket and second bracket may include complimentary interlocking features that are configured to interlock and limit and/or prevent the movement of the first bracket and second bracket in at least one direction. For example, FIG8 illustrates an embodiment of a connection device 712 with a first bracket 716 and second bracket 718 mechanically interlocked." ]
