  • Publication number: 20220216023
    Abstract: This application provides a direct current contactor which includes a housing, and a first fixed contact and a second fixed contact that are fastened into the housing; a first moving contact and a second moving contact that are located in the housing; a drive mechanism, including: an insulation rod connected to the first moving contact and the second moving contact, and a drive component that drives the insulation rod to drive the first moving contact and the second moving contact to synchronously move toward the first fixed contact and the second fixed contact; and a pressing component configured to push the moving contact firmly against the fixed contact. Only two pairs of contacts are used to implement connection/disconnection of two electrode lines, so that a total contactor resistance is reduced by half compared with that in the conventional technology.

  • Publication number: 20210361826
    Abstract: Provided are novel biocompatible copolymers, compositions comprising the copolymers, and methods of using the copolymers. The copolymers are non-toxic and typically have an LCST below 37° C. Compositions comprising the copolymers can be used for wound treatment, as a cellular growth matrix or niche and for injection into cardiac tissue to repair and mechanically support damaged tissue. The copolymers comprise numerous ester linkages so that the copolymers are erodible in situ. Degradation products of the copolymers are soluble and non-toxic. The copolymers can be amine-reactive so that they can conjugate with proteins, such as collagen. Active ingredients, such as drugs, can be incorporated into compositions comprising the copolymers.
