198 results about "Atomic nucleus" patented technology

The atomic nucleus is the small, dense region consisting of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom, discovered in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford based on the 1909 Geiger–Marsden gold foil experiment. After the discovery of the neutron in 1932, models for a nucleus composed of protons and neutrons were quickly developed by Dmitri Ivanenko and Werner Heisenberg. An atom is composed of a positively-charged nucleus, with a cloud of negatively-charged electrons surrounding it, bound together by electrostatic force. Almost all of the mass of an atom is located in the nucleus, with a very small contribution from the electron cloud. Protons and neutrons are bound together to form a nucleus by the nuclear force.

Lithium ion battery silicon carbide composite anode material and preparation method thereof

The invention discloses a lithium ion battery silicon carbide composite anode material and a preparation method thereof and aims to solve the technical problem of improving the cycling stability of a silicon carbide cathode. The lithium ion battery silicon carbide composite anode material consists of the following components in percentage by mass: 85 to 75 percent of graphite and 15 to 25 percent of silica particles, wherein the nano silica particles are dispersed on a graphite carrier to form a nuclear shell structure and are 5 to 16 mum in granularity. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: preparing a graphite dispersing agent and a silicon grinding dispersing agent; adding the silicon grinding dispersing agent into the graphite dispersing agent; and performing thermal treatment. When the method is compared with the prior art, silicon atoms are dispersed on a graphite atomic nucleus by a cation-anion charge absorption method, so that the silicon atoms can uniformly wrap the surface of the graphite, the dispersity of silicon is effectively improved in a silicon carbide composite material preparing process, the initial efficiency and the cycling stability of the silicon carbide composite anode material are improved, and a battery using the material as an anode material has relatively high safety, multiplying power performance and cycle performance.

Field image tomography for magnetic resonance imaging

Field Image Tomography (FIT) is a fundamental new theory for determining the three-dimensional (3D) spatial density distribution of field emitting sources. The field can be the intensity of any type of field including (i) Radio Frequency (RF) waves in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), (ii) Gamma radiation in SPECT/PET, and (iii) gravitational field of earth, moon, etc. FIT exploits the property that field intensity decreases with increasing radial distance from the field source and the field intensity distribution measured in an extended 3D volume space can be used to determine the 3D spatial density distribution of the emitting source elements. A method and apparatus are disclosed for MRI of target objects based on FIT. Spinning atomic nuclei of a target object in a magnetic field are excited by beaming a suitable Radio Frequency (RF) pulse. These excited nuclei emit RF radiation while returning to their normal state. The intensity or amplitude distribution of the RF emission field g is measured in a 3D volume space that may extend substantially along the radial direction around the emission source. g is related to the 3D tomography f through a system matrix H that depends on the MRI apparatus, and noise n through the vector equation g=Hf+n. This equation is solved to obtain the tomographic image f of the target object by a method that reduces the effect of noise.

Method for modelling the production of hydrocarbons by a subsurface deposit which are subject to depletion

A method for forming a model simulating production, by an underground reservoir subject to depletion, of hydrocarbons comprising notably relatively high-viscosity oils. From laboratory measurements of the respective volumes of oil and gas produced by rock samples from the reservoir subject to depletion, and the relative permeabilities (Kr) of rock samples to hydrocarbons, a model of the formation and flow of the gas fraction is used to determine a volume transfer coefficient (hv) by means of an empirical function representing the distribution of nuclei that can be activated at a pressure P (function N(P)) which is calibrated with reference to the previous measurements. Considering that the nuclei distribution N(P) in the reservoir rocks is the same as the distribution measured in the laboratory, the numerical transfer coefficient corresponding thereto in the reservoir at selected depletion rates is determined using the gas fraction formation and flow model, which allows predicting the relative permeabilities in the reservoir and the production thereof which is useful for reservoir engineering.

Technique for suppression of latchup in integrated circuits (ICS)

The present invention relates to a technique that can be used to reduce the sensitivity of integrated circuits to a failure mechanism to which some integrated circuits (ICs) are susceptible, known as latchup. The present invention relates to a scheme for suppressing latchup sensitivity by a step to be performed after the IC has been manufactured, rather than being a step in the normal production process. The process involves exposing silicon, either in wafer or die form, to energetic ions, such as protons (hydrogen nuclei) or heavier nuclei (e.g. argon, copper, gold, etc.), having energy sufficient to penetrate the silicon from the back of the wafer or die to within a well-defined distance from the surface of the silicon on which the integrated circuit has been formed (the front surface). The ions will enter the silicon through the surface of the silicon opposite to the surface onto which the integrated circuit has been formed (the back surface), will travel through the silicon, and will be completely stopped within a narrow, controlled distance from the front surface. This very high energy ion implantation will change the properties of silicon in such a way that the process or processes responsible for latchup are inhibited, either from the structural damage done to the single crystal, or from changes in the electrical properties of the silicon due to the chemical properties of the implanted ions, or both. Since the implanted ions all stop within a narrow region, spaced away from the region in which the components of the integrated circuit are located, the functionality and parameters of the IC are not degraded. Consequently, the procedure of the present invention is a method of processing silicon wafers or die so that the sensitivity of the ICs on this wafer or die to latchup is reduced or eliminated.

RF pulses for long T2 suppression in MRI

In imaging a first species having a short T2 magnetic resonance parameter in the presence of a second and third species having longer T2 parameters, a method of suppressing signals from the longer T2 species comprises the steps of: a) applying a RF saturation pulse with multiple suppression bands for the second and third species to excite nuclei spins of the longer T2 species with the magnitude of the RF pulse being sufficiently low so as not to excite nuclei spins of the short T2 species, the RF saturation pulse being sufficiently long to rotate the longer T2 species nuclei spins into a transverse plane, and b) dephasing the longer T2 species nuclei spins in the transverse plane. An imaging pulse sequence is then applied to image the short T2 species. Alternatively, the method can comprise the steps of a) applying a first inversion pulse for selective inverting species of the second longer T2 species, b) obtaining first image signals after step a, c) applying a second inversion pulse for selectively inverting species of the third longer T2 species, d) obtaining second image signals after step c), and e) combining the first image signals and the second image signal to image the first short T2 species with the longer second and third species cancelling in the combination. In each of these methods, either the second or third longer T2 species can be suppressed without suppressing the other by applying the RF saturation or inversion pulse only to the species to be suppressed.
