Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090285410Restoring audio signals - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for restoring audio signals. A data sequence of samples representing an audio signal is received. Multiple filter coefficients are defined for a filter, and a current sample in the data sequence is selected to be processed. The filter coefficients are updated based on a previous sample preceding the current sample in the data sequence and a filtered value determined by the filter for the previous sample. A filtered value for the current sample is determined using the filter with the updated filter coefficients. The filtered value of the current sample is used to determine whether the current sample has been corrupted by impulsive noise, for example, a crackle.11-19-2009

20090301871METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IN-SITU ELECTROPLATING OF ELECTRODES - The present techniques provide electrochemical devices having enhanced electrodes with surfaces that facilitate operation, such as by formation of a porous nickel layer on an operative surface, particularly of the cathode. The porous metal layer increases the surface area of the electrode, which may result in increasing the efficiency of the electrochemical devices. The formation of the porous metal layer is performed in situ, that is, after the assembly of the electrodes into an electrochemical device. The in situ process offers a number of advantages, including the ability to protect the porous metal layer on the electrode surface from damage during assembly of the electrochemical device. The enhanced electrode and the method for its processing may be used in any number of electrochemical devices, and is particularly well suited for electrodes in an electrolyzer useful for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.12-10-2009

20090233170ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE AND METHOD - An article of electrochemical energy conversion is provided that includes a separator. The separator has a first surface that defines at least a portion of a first chamber, and a second surface that defines a second chamber, and the first chamber is in ionic communication with the second chamber through the separator. The energy storage device further includes a plurality of cathodic materials. The plurality includes at least a first cathodic material and a second cathodic material. Both of the cathodic materials are in electrical communication with the separator and both are capable of forming a metal halide. A proviso is that if either of the first cathodic material or the second cathodic material is a transition metal, then the other cathodic material is not iron, arsenic, or antimony.09-17-2009
