Patent EP-3601984-A1 (EP)
Title: Apparatus and method for monitoring differential pressure
Inventor: ANTONIOLI HILARY C
IPC: G01M3/26
Filed: 2018-03-21
Abstract: A pressure monitoring device is provided for use with a tool such as a medical endoscope. The device includes a housing which is fluidically coupled with an internal volume of the endoscope. A pump is used to change the pressure inside the device housing and endoscope, thereby establishing a pressure differential from the ambient environment. During an endoscopy procedure, the pressure inside the device housing is monitored, and a change in pressure exceeding a predefined limit causes an alarm signal indicating a leak has occurred in the endoscope. The device housing may be directly mounted to the endoscope, located remotely and connected with a coupling tube, or integrated with an accessory device connected to the endoscope. The pump may be integrated internally to the device housing, or it may be a separate external pump which is connected to the housing. The pressure differential may be positive or negative relative to ambient.

Filed: 2018-03-26
Abstract: An additive comprising one or more C 3 -C 12  hydroxycarboxylic acids and/or one or more C 3 -C 12  hydroxycarboxylic acid salts may be added to an aqueous system having galvanized metallurgy or a carbon steel surface in an effective amount to passivate a galvanized coating on the metallurgy or to decrease white rust formation or other types of corrosion upon the galvanized metallurgy or carbon steel surface in an aqueous system. In a non-limiting embodiment, the C 3 -C 12  hydroxycarboxylic acid or the C 3 -C 12  hydroxycarboxylic acid salt additive may utilize the zinc in the galvanized coating to achieve passivation. The passivation may occur while the system is shut down or in service. The aqueous system may be or include a cooling tower, a cooling water system, and combinations thereof. The additive may be used with or in the absence of a phosphorous-containing compound.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include methods and apparatuses for providing security to computer users with disabilities, who configure their computers to personalize output in a fashion that enables the user to more easily understand the content of the output. While previously a computer configured to personalize output accordingly may have served as a source of disability information to unauthorized parties accessing the computers, embodiments disclosed herein configure computers for personalization without leaving thereon a record how the personalization was specified during the configuration process. Thus, an unauthorized party gaining access to the user's computer would find it very difficult, if not impossible, to determine the user's disability from an inspection of the computer, so the user is much less likely to become a victim of fraud based on an unauthorized discovery of information regarding vulnerabilities.

Abstract: This application relates to the field of power electronic technologies, and discloses a converter and a method for driving the converter. A switch circuit of the converter includes three switch units. A first switch unit includes a first switch device, a second switch device, a third switch device, and a fourth switch device that are connected in series. A second switch unit includes a fifth switch device and a sixth switch device that are connected in series. A third switch unit includes a seventh switch device and an eighth switch device that are connected in series. When the first switch device and the fifth switch device are switched on, that is, an output end of the switch circuit is connected to a first end of a direct current voltage source, the seventh switch is controlled to be switched on. When the fourth switch device and the sixth switch device are switched on, that is, the output end of the switch circuit is connected to a second end of the direct current voltage source, the eighth switch device is controlled to be switched on. In this way, a switch-on voltage drop between the output end of the switch circuit and each of two output ends of the direct current voltage source may be a voltage drop of only one switch device, thereby effectively reducing a conduction loss of the converter.

Title: Method for analyzing and optimizing metabolic networks
Inventor: THOMPSON JASON
IPC: G16B5/00
Filed: 2018-12-17
Abstract: A method for analyzing a bipartite graph data structure to condense reaction pathways of a metabolic network is described herein. A cell's metabolic network is structured as a bipartite graph, with molecule nodes representing the molecules within metabolism and edges connecting molecule nodes representing chemical reactions or processes. Molecule nodes within the bipartite graph are categorized according to the number of edges leading into and out of each node. If the structure of the bipartite graph indicates that the molecule node does not contribute to flux value solutions of a mathematical model of the metabolic network, then the node and its connected reaction pathway is blocked or removed from the bipartite graph. Thus the complexity of the bipartite graph may be reduced, and crucial nodes and pathways identified.

IPC: D06F23/02
Filed: 2018-08-30
Abstract: A washing machine is provided. An inner drum (1) of the washing machine is a container closed after an opening is fastened by a door cover (4). A plurality of lifting ribs (8) are arranged on the side wall of the inner drum (1). The lifting ribs (8) are hollow inside and communicate with the interior of the inner drum (1). At least one drainage port (10) communicating with the hollow portions of the lifting ribs (8) is formed in the side wall of the inner drum (1). A sealing valve (9) located inside each lifting rib (8) is arranged at each drainage port (10). During the high-speed rotation of the inner drum (1), valve bodies (92) of the sealing valves (9) move along a radial center direction of the inner drum (1) under the action of a centrifugal force, so as to open the drainage ports (10) formed in the side wall of the inner drum (1). Through the above arrangement, the drainage ports (10) are hidden inside the lifting ribs (8) of the inner drum (1), so that the objective of discharging water flow in the inner drum (1) to the outside from the hidden drainage ports (10) is achieved. Meanwhile, the sealing valves (9) are arranged at the drainage ports (10) to achieve the objective that the centrifugal force during the high-speed rotation of the inner drum (1) is used to correspondingly control valve cores of the sealing valves (9) such that the drainage ports (10) are automatically opened for corresponding drainage from the inner drum (1). Through the above arrangement, clothes in the washing process are only in contact with washing water in the sealed inner drum (1).
