Patent EP-3824119-A1 (EP)
Inventor: OMERSA KENNETH
IPC: C25B9/17
Filed: 2019-05-21
Abstract: A chemical reactor includes one or more solid oxide fuel cells, each cell having an electrolyte layer joining a cathode and an anode, the one or more fuel cell cathodes being located in a first gas zone of the reactor, and the one or more fuel cell anodes being located in a second gas zone of the reactor. The chemical reactor further includes a first gas supply route for supplying a flow of oxidant to the first gas zone. The chemical reactor further includes a second gas supply route for supplying a flow of reactant to the second gas zone. The chemical reactor further includes a gas removal route for removing a flow of reaction products away from the second gas zone. The chemical reactor further includes one or more leakage paths which fluidly connect the first gas zone to the second gas zone such that a leakage flow of oxidant leaks from the first gas zone into the second gas zone to support a direct exothermic chemical reaction between the oxidant and the reactant, while substantially preventing a reverse flow of reactant into the first gas zone. The reaction products are a mixture of reaction product from the direct reaction and reaction product from an indirect electrochemical oxidation reaction of the reactant at the anode or anodes. The reactor further includes a catalyst in the second gas zone for catalysing the direct reaction, and a controller for drawing a controlled electric current from the fuel cell or cells to control the rate of the indirect reaction and thereby the temperature of the catalyst.

Abstract: A droplet detection system includes a sensing channel, such as a microfluidic channel, configured to receive a flow of fluid that may contain one or more liquid droplets dispersed in the fluid. The cross-sectional area of the sensing channel maybe configured to allow droplets of a predetermined size to flow through the channel one at a time. A light source, a light aperture, and a light detector are positioned outside the sensing channel, which use light in a selected frequency band that has a substantially different absorbance for the liquid compared to the fluid. Liquid droplets may be detected and characterized using a signal from the light detector.

Title: Broadband dispersion control waveguide and control method
Inventor: ZHANG LIN
IPC: G02B6/122
Filed: 2019-01-24
Abstract: An optical waveguide structure has a waveguide core consisted of an inner and an outer layers (1, 2) with different refractive indices, and a refractive index ratio of the materials of the two layers having different refractive indices is greater than or equal to 1.15. A dispersion controlling method using the optical waveguide structure comprises: first, obtaining a dispersion curve having up to 5 zero-dispersion wavelengths by calculating based on a set of preset structural size parameters of the optical waveguide; and then, adjusting one or more of the width (W) of a contact surface between the inner layer (1) and the substrate (3), the thickness (H) of a higher refractive index material, and the thickness (C) of a lower refractive index material, so as to implement dispersion control. By changing the core of the waveguide structure into an inner layer and an outer layer (1, 2), and allowing the outer layer (2) not to be etched, the processing steps required for the dispersion control of the waveguide are reduced, and the requirements of processing conditions are lowered. Moreover, the waveguide structure can generate up to 5 zero-dispersion wavelengths, and the resulted flat dispersion bandwidth exceeds two octaves.

IPC: G06F16/22
Filed: 2019-08-02
Abstract: The present disclosure provides an index data storage and retrieval method, apparatus, and storage medium. When storing data (i.e., key-value pairs), the data storage method not only sorts according to the size of the value elements, but also divides the sorted data sequence into multiple segments. Each of the segments sorts the key values and stores the data sequence correspondingly to the sorted key value, achieving ordered storage of the value elements and the key values (also referred to as record numbers), that is, a new index structure is constructed. A multi-condition retrieval method suitable for the index structure is proposed in which, for any interval query, the result set can be represented by a union of one or more sets, and the sets are mostly ordered, with at most the two sets at the boundaries being unordered, thus improving the efficiency of AND, OR, and NOT operations in multiple conditional queries.
