Title: Multi-stage evaporation system utilizing enhanced sub-gravitational field
Inventor: XIANG LING
IPC: B01D1/14
Filed: 2018-01-11
Abstract: A multi-stage evaporation system enhanced by a gravity-reduced field consists of evaporation structures of multiple stages. There are three different operation modes, namely, a serial-connected air and parallel-connected solution mode, a serial-connected air and serial-connected solution mode, and a parallel-connected air and serial-connected solution mode. In the evaporation chambers, the solution directly contacts the air to transfer the heat and mass. The solution is sprayed on the rotating filling material, and is uniformly distributed under the action of the gravity-reduced field, which enhances the heat and mass transfer. The solution is gasified by absorbing the heat energy thereof Meanwhile, the air can carry more water vapor after being heated by the solution and thus having an increased temperature, and take away the gasified solution, thereby achieving the purpose of evaporation.

Abstract: A device 400 for measuring the total dissolved solids (TDS) of a liquid 410 includes first 420a and second 420b electrodes for contacting the liquid 410, and a test circuit. The test circuit applies a voltage to the electrodes 420a,b, measures an electrical signal from the electrodes 420a,b; varies the voltage applied based on a property of the measured signal; and determines the output indicative of the TDS of the liquid 410 when the property of the measured electrical signal satisfies a threshold condition. The threshold may be that the signal is stable and/or strong enough to determine a TDS value. There may be buffers 480a-f for controlling the applied voltage. The TDS value may be indicative of the health status or remaining lifetime of a water filter, and may indicate the hardness of water or presence of contaminants such as limescale.

Title: Request and response protocol using blockchain transactions
Inventor: ALEXANDER MACKAY
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2019-10-31
Abstract: A method to control devices 502 with bridging nodes 503 in an overlay network 501, each bridging node also being a node of a blockchain network 106. A blockchain transaction is generated by a first bridging node 503a or 503b. The transaction consists of an input comprising a signature linked to a public key of the first node and an output comprising an identifier of a first device 502a that is controlled by a second bridging node 503c, and a command message for controlling the device. The second node obtains the blockchain transaction and transmits a command to the device which is based on the command message of the transaction. The transaction may be updated by the second node such that it may be observed from the blockchain which node issued the command and which actioned the command. A command-request transaction may also be used whereby the first node requests approval prior to generating the transaction to be actioned. Approval is given by the request transaction being signed by two other bridging nodes. The first node may be a smartphone or laptop, the second node a smart home-hub and the devices may be smart appliances, meters or sensors etc.
