Filed:

Apr 5, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/543736

Inventors:

Gregory B. Roberts - Mountain View CA 94040

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

358 12, 358 15, 400103, 23546201

Abstract:

A method and system for rendering accurate bar code images in a distributed network wherein a plurality of different types of rendering devices, such as printers, having different resolution characteristics are connected for rendering such images. The resolution of a connected rendering device is detected and the bar code image to be rendered by such device is scaled to effect proper alignment of the resolution units of the bar code and the rendering device whereby the need for interpolation is effectively obviated. The bar code is scaled by a whole integer multiplier of the minimum bar code size based upon at least one dimension of the print area of the bar code display and the resolution characteristic of the rendering device. The bar code image is aligned or mapped and is centered in the display area with equal units of the excess print area on either side of the image. By avoiding the need to interpolate print data by the rendering device, the bar code rendering system defeats inaccuracies in detection and decoding and provides a more reliable data recovery system.

International Classification:

G06F013/00
G01M017/00

US Classification:

701/029000, 702/183000

Abstract:

A modular vehicle diagnostic system includes a plurality of devices substantially enclosed by individual housings are selectively interconnected for sensing or receiving selected signals from a vehicle, for selecting vehicle parameters for vehicle diagnosis or evaluation, for processing the signals, and for displaying the vehicle parameters. The devices are interconnected by conjoining mechanisms associated with the individual housings and/or by having communication channels established between them.

US Classification:

Abstract:

Provided are novel electrochemical cells that include positive electrodes, negative electrodes containing high capacity active materials such as silicon, and auxiliary electrodes containing lithium. An auxiliary electrode is provided in the cell at least prior to its formation cycling and is used to supply lithium to the negative electrode. The auxiliary electrode may be then removed from the cell prior or after formation. The transfer of lithium to the negative electrode may be performed using a different electrolyte, a higher temperature, and/or a slower rate than during later operational cycling of the cell. After this transfer, the negative electrode may remain pre-lithiated during later cycling at least at a certain predetermined level. This pre-lithiation helps to cycle the cell at more optimal conditions and to some degree maintain this cycling performance over the operating life of the cell. Also provided are methods of fabricating such cells.
