Title: Pressure adjustment apparatus
Inventor: ZHENG DEZHI
IPC: F17C13/02
Filed: 2013-12-30
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pressure adjustment apparatus. The apparatus comprises: a temperature sensing chamber, a temperature control apparatus, a rough pressure adjusting mechanism, a processor, a touch screen, an analog-to-digital converter, a pressure sensor and a pressure-making chamber. The pressure sensor senses the pressure within the pressure-making chamber and outputs an electric signal which is computed by the processor to obtain a current pressure value after being converted by the analog-to-digital converter. The processor compares a set pressure value inputted by a user though the touch screen with the current pressure value detected in real time to obtain an error value. By using a double closed-loop PI control algorithm, the processor first controls the rough pressure adjusting mechanism of the inner loop to rapidly perform rough adjustment, and then controls the temperature control apparatus of the outer loop to change the chamber volume of the temperature sensing chamber by controlling temperature, and thus to achieve the function of precise pressure adjustment. The pressure adjustment control system in the present disclosure has high precision, simple structure, low cost, and wide application.

Abstract: Described herein is the synthesis of adhesive complex coacervates and their use thereof. The adhesive complex coacervates are produced by reacting (a) at least one poly anion comprising a plurality of activated ester groups, and (b) at least one polycation comprising a plurality of nucleophilic groups, wherein the nucleophilic groups react with the activated ester groups to produce a new oovalent bond between the polycation and the polyanion.The adhesive complex coacervates described herein have low interfacial tension with water and wettable substrates. When applied to a wet substrate they spread over the interface rather than beading up. The adhesive complex coacervates have numerous biological applications as bioadhesives and drug delivery devices. In particular, the adhesive complex coacervates described herein are particularly useful in wet or underwater applications and situations where water is present such as, for example, physiological conditions.

Abstract: A self-contained latch module in combination with a pusher and catch (collectively "latch assembly") allows for the locking of two doors with a single lock. The latch module contains two spring-loaded bolts, one active and one passive. Pushing the active bolt into the latch housing, the passive bolt extends out of the opposite side of the latch housing. Pushing onto the passive bolt in the direction of the latch housing while the active bolt is depressed will allow the passive bolt to retract into the housing without affecting the active bolt on the opposite side. This allows a user to slam closed the associated doors in any order. The self- latching nature of this latch assembly allows for the automatic latching of the cabinet doors without having to manually latch one of the doors before locking the other. In the case of tall wardrobe doors, it is desirable to install two latch assemblies; one at the top and another at the bottom, with the lock installed in the center position of the door, thereby preventing the prying of the doors. The latch assembly is mountable at the top and/or bottom of a cabinet or wardrobe, and is field retrofitable.
