  • Patent number: 11957190
    Abstract: The invention relates to sports garment (1) for team sports, especially for soccer, football, rugby, handball or basketball, comprising an upper part (2) which covers at least a part of the torso of the wearer and pants (3) which covers at least a part of the abdomen of the wearer, wherein the upper part (2) and the pants (3) are forming a one-piece part. To improve the fit of the sports garment at the body of the wearer and to ensure a high degree of convenience during wearing the invention proposes that the upper part (2) and the pants (3) are made as a unitary knitted design, wherein the garment (1) is made as a seamless textile article without seams around the whole circumference of the garment (1) along at least 40% (h) of the total vertical extension (H) of the garment (1), wherein the seamless section of the garment (1) extends at least along a part of the vertical extension of the upper part (2) and extends at least along a part of the vertical extension of the pants (3).

  • Patent number: 11958142
    Abstract: Systems and methods to control pulse welding are disclosed. An example welding-type system includes: power conversion circuitry configured to convert input power to welding-type power; and control circuitry configured to control the power conversion circuitry to output the welding-type power in a plurality of pulse cycles, each pulse cycle comprising a background phase, a ramp up phase, a peak phase, and a ramp down phase. Controlling the power conversion circuitry involves: during the ramp up phase of the pulse cycles, controlling the power conversion circuitry in a current-controlled mode and switching to controlling the power conversion circuitry in a voltage-controlled mode when a peak transition voltage is reached; and during the ramp down phase of the pulse cycles, controlling the power conversion circuitry in a current-controlled mode and switching to controlling the power conversion circuitry in a voltage-controlled mode when a background transition voltage is reached.

  • Patent number: 11891609
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for increasing observed editing rates in the surviving bacteria cells. The compositions and methods presented herein in combination lead to a phenomenon of “edit or die.” Although less cells survive plating and editing, a large percentage of cells that do survive are multiple editors. In one experiment it was found that if a cell survives transformation, plating, and editing, 75% of the surviving cells are multiple editors; that is, 75% of the surviving cells were simultaneously edited with edits at two or more different locations within the bacterial genome.
