20 Jul 1999TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided an exhaust gas purification device for an engine having an exhaust passage, the device comprising a catalyst arranged in the exhaust passage and having an upstream end and a downstream end, a purification ratio of exhaust gas by the catalyst becoming more than a predetermined ratio when a temperature of the catalyst is within a predetermined temperature range.
Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided an exhaust gas purification device for an engine having an exhaust passage, the device comprising a catalyst arranged in the exhaust passage and having an upstream end and a downstream end, a purification ratio of exhaust gas by the catalyst becoming more than a predetermined ratio when a temperature of the catalyst is within a predetermined temperature range, cooling means for cooling the upstream end of the catalyst, heating means for heating the downstream end of the catalyst, and control means for controlling the cooling means and the heating means to maintain the temperature of a portion of the catalyst, which portion is positioned between the upstream end and the downstream end, in the predetermined temperature range.

TL;DR: RP-LaSr3Fe3O10 minimizes efficiency losses caused by reactions during charging and discharging at the air electrode and can be considered to be the ORR/OER electrocatalyst for rechargeable metal-air batteries.
Abstract: For the development of a rechargeable metal-air battery, which is expected to become one of the most widely used batteries in the future, slow kinetics of discharging and charging reactions at the air electrode, i.e., oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), respectively, are the most critical problems. Here we report that Ruddlesden–Popper-type layered perovskite, RP-LaSr3Fe3O10 (n = 3), functions as a reversible air electrode catalyst for both ORR and OER at an equilibrium potential of 1.23 V with almost no overpotentials. The function of RP-LaSr3Fe3O10 as an ORR catalyst was confirmed by using an alkaline fuel cell composed of Pd/LaSr3Fe3O10–2x(OH)2x·H2O/RP-LaSr3Fe3O10 as an open circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.23 V was obtained. RP-LaSr3Fe3O10 also catalyzed OER at an equilibrium potential of 1.23 V with almost no overpotentials. Reversible ORR and OER are achieved because of the easily removable oxygen present in RP-LaSr3Fe3O10. Thus, RP-LaSr3Fe3O10 minimizes efficiency losses ...

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of an electrochemically stable protective film for lithium electrodes by reacting lithium with tetraethoxysilane was reported, which exhibited stable plating and stripping of Li at 1 mA/cm2 for 100 cycles without any change in cell impedance.
Abstract: We report the formation of an electrochemically stable protective film for lithium electrodes by reacting lithium with tetraethoxysilane. Li/Li cell tests show that coated electrodes exhibit stable plating and stripping of Li at 1 mA/cm2 for 100 cycles without any change in cell impedance.

17 Jun 2007TL;DR: This work proposes a paradigm of tracking by repeatedly segmenting figure from background by utilizing both static image cues and temporal coherence cues, which include an appearance model of brightness (or color) and a spatial model propagating figure/ground masks through low-level region correspondence.
Abstract: Tracking over a long period of time is challenging as the appearance, shape and scale of the object in question may vary. We propose a paradigm of tracking by repeatedly segmenting figure from background. Accurate spatial support obtained in segmentation provides rich information about the track and enables reliable tracking of non-rigid objects without drifting. Figure/ground segmentation operates sequentially in each frame by utilizing both static image cues and temporal coherence cues, which include an appearance model of brightness (or color) and a spatial model propagating figure/ground masks through low-level region correspondence. A superpixel-based conditional random field linearly combines cues and loopy belief propagation is used to estimate marginal posteriors of figure vs background. We demonstrate our approach on long sequences of sports video, including figure skating and football.
