20150161155 | ACCESSING DATA IN A COMPRESSED CONTAINER THROUGH DYNAMIC REDIRECTION - Embodiments of the disclosure provide access to data in a compressed container through dynamic redirection, without storing decompressed data in persistent memory. The compressed container is stored in a first portion of memory. User data and reference files, with redirect pointers, for accessing corresponding files in the compressed container are stored in a second portion of memory. A command to access data is detected by a computing device. The redirect pointer in the reference file associated with the command redirects access to the corresponding compressed version of data stored in the compressed container. The corresponding accessed compressed version of data is decompressed on the fly and provided in response to the command without storing the decompressed data in persistent memory. Some embodiments provide integrity protection to validate the data coming from the compressed container. | 06-11-2015 |

20110180387 | PLASMA TREATMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD - A plasma treated gas permeable material is produced by applying an alternating voltage between spaced electrodes, at least one of which is covered with a dielectric barrier and at least one of which comprises a plurality of discrete electrode segments, to generate plasma microdischarges between the spaced electrodes. A gas permeable material is passed between or adjacent to the spaced electrodes. A gas is moved between the electrode segments into and through the space between the electrodes and through the gas permeable material. The gas flows over plasma generation surfaces of the respective electrode segments and is moved at a rate whereby the gas flow between the spaced electrodes is turbulent and so randomises the plasma microdischarges and disperses plasma products that would otherwise give rise to burning instabilities in the gas permeable material, whereby the randomized plasma microdischarges provide a generally uniform plasma treatment of the gas permeable material. Also disclosed is an apparatus for laying out the process. | 07-28-2011 |

20130101869 | INTEGRATED CELL VOLTAGE SENSE LINE FUSING - Lithium-ion batteries, unlike other chemistries, may need the voltage of every cell monitored. This may employ a wiring harness or interconnect board that connects the leads of each cell to battery monitoring electronics. These leads can be protected from each other by one or more methods including physical segregation, insulation, and fusing. If a fuse is used it can be located as close as possible to the terminal of the cell. The fuse can be located inside the sealed compartment of the cell itself. The leads would be passed out of the cell in a second location allowing the use of alternative sense lead wiring harnesses or interconnect board designs that save on packaging cost and volume. By locating the fuse inside the cell, design and validation efforts involved in placing a fuse inline with the wiring harness are eliminated. | 04-25-2013 |
