Title: Compressing mattresses to reduce volume without causing permanent damage
Inventor: NICHOLAS SIMON OETTINGER
IPC: B65D85/07
Filed: 2018-08-23
Abstract: A method of compressing mattresses 1001 by creating a stack so that the largest faces are in contact; pressing 1101 one end of the stack towards the other and restraining the compressed stack. The could be done by a compressor 501 and a frame to receive the stack. A short stack can be compressed and restrained temporarily; further mattresses can be added; the compressor can reengage the top of the taller stack; the restraints can be removed; and compression of the taller stack can continue. The process of adding further mattresses can be repeated until a certain level of pressure on the compressor is achieved and the restraint can be reapplied to secure the compressed stack to the frame for storage or transport. The restraint 601 can be highly visible for easier mattress movement. The restraint can comprise tubes 601 which fit into holes 1405 in the frame 1401 and channels on the compressor 1402. After the final compression the tubes can be fastened in place by rods within them. The rod can have a head at one end and a hole to receive a securing pin at the other. The frame can be collapsible.

Title: Ripple current generation circuit
Inventor: BAOJUN WANG
IPC: G01R31/02
Filed: 2017-06-13
Abstract: A ripple current generation circuit. Based on an existing ripple current generation circuit, the ripple current generation circuit comprises an indicating circuit (200). The indicating circuit (200) comprises a resistor (R1), a capacitor (C1), a diode (D1), and a light-emitting diode (LED). The light-emitting diode (LED) and the diode (D1) are reversely connected in parallel, then are connected in parallel to the resistor (R1), and then are serially connected to the capacitor (C1), so as to form the indicating circuit (200). The capacitor (C1) has a small capacity, and has a high-frequency switching-on effect and a direct-current blocking effect. As the ESR of the tested capacitor increases, a high-frequency ripper voltage generated on the ESR by a high-frequency excitation current increases accordingly; the capacitor (C1) has the high-frequency switching-on effect, and when the high-frequency ripple voltage reaches a threshold, the light-emitting diode (LED) emits light, and a threshold can be adjusted by adjusting the resistance of the resistor (R1). In this way, a user can be reminded that the ESR of the tested capacitor has increased, and the switching power supply has the risk of ineffectiveness, so as to avoid loss. In addition, the ripple current generation circuit has the characteristics that the indicating circuit (200) is independent, has low costs and is easy to implement.

Title: Methods and apparatus to implement predictive analytics for continuous processes
Inventor: ZUWEI JIN
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 2020-04-16
Abstract: Predictive analytics for a continuous process uses a virtual batch unit controller to implement a sampling batch on a virtual batch unit. The sampling batch corresponds to a discrete period of time of a continuous control system process. The virtual batch unit includes input and output parameters corresponding to parameters associated with the continuous control system process. A sampling batch analyzer generates predictive analytic information indicative of a predicted quality of an output of the continuous control system process at an end of the discrete period of time based on an analysis of the sampling batch relative to an analytical model. The invention therefore provides a way of using predictive batch analysis in a continuous process.
