Abstract: The present invention relates to an SCR mixer for mixing exhaust gas, and an SCR device comprising the same and, more specifically, to a mixing device for an exhaust gas post-treatment system of a diesel engine, the mixing device being for removing, by means of a catalyst and a filter, nitrogen oxide and diesel particulate matter contained in the exhaust gas to be discharged from an engine. According to the present invention, since a reducing agent is sprayed at an inner shell heated by exhaust gas, thereby increasing atomization and evaporation of reducing agent droplets, the SCR mixer has an effect of minimizing a phenomenon, occurring in a conventional mixer, in which a reducing agent is precipitated and sticks to the inner surface of an inner shell.

Title: Procédés de détection mycobactéries avec des conjugués de colorants solvatochromes
Inventor: BERTOZZI CAROLYN R
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 2017-07-31
Abstract: L'invention concerne une série de conjugués glucide-colorant, ainsi qu'un procédé de détection d'organismes pathogènes ou autres (par exemple, des bactéries) les employant. Le conjugué glucide-colorant peut être incorporé par voie enzymatique dans des bactéries d'intérêt vivantes et actives (viables) pour détecter facilement lesdites bactéries. L'incorporation du conjugué est réalisée en utilisant une ou plusieurs des enzymes qui sont endogènes aux bactéries d'intérêt, qui peuvent incorporer le conjugué par l'intermédiaire du glucide du conjugué. Un signal détectable est produit par le colorant du conjugué uniquement après incorporation dans les bactéries d'intérêt, en raison des changements dans l'environnement local du colorant lors de l'incorporation. Le conjugué peut être métaboliquement incorporé dans la membrane externe grasse d'une paroi cellulaire bactérienne, qui constitue un environnement nettement hydrophobe pour le colorant du conjugué, ce qui l'amène à produire un signal détectable.

Abstract: A cage-type hyperbolic curve spring structure and a socket, wherein the cage-type hyperbolic curve spring structure is applied in a jack terminal, the cage-type hyperbolic curve spring comprising: a plurality of copper hyperbolic curve column-shaped slanted springs, which are wound in an annular form by means of laser spot welding to form a closed cylindrical annular structure, and a machine-processed body; the cylindrical annular spring structure is inserted into the machine-processed body, and then ensures that a cylindrical tapered spring does not fall off during insertion and extraction of a male and female terminal by means of a slanted riveting necking at an end portion of a thin-walled pipe, while an assembly method may be used to install an elastic C-ring at the end portion of the thin-walled pipe for compression. In embodiments of the present invention, a positive pressure of male and female terminals is ensured during opposite plug processes, which may guarantee stable contact thereof under ultra-high currents; each copper wire generates elastic deformation instead of non-plastic deformation during a process of compression, thus increasing the service life of the product and thereby extending the time of degradation of the spring. At the same time, hyperbolic spring structures may mutually overlap during the process of compression, thereby reducing the space of elastic deformation of the springs and ensuring a relatively small size.
