  • Patent number: 11072873
    Abstract: An electrospinning device is provided with a container for holding a liquid comprising a polymer melt or a polymer solution, and a nozzle arranged to outlet a stream of the liquid from the container. A collector collects electro spun material during electrospinning so as to form a fibrous structure. The device comprises an optical measurement system that measures a baseline distance between the collector and the optical measurement system for at least one location on a surface of the collector, and also measures a momentary distance between the optical measurement system and a momentary top layer of the fibrous structure during the electrospinning process. A processor calculates a momentary thickness of the fibrous structure. Once a required thickness is reached the electrospinning can be stopped.

  • Patent number: 11073804
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for interfacing multiple layers of optimization for a model of one or more processes in a processing environment to achieve increased or maximized stability in the underlying layer. To improve consistency between the solutions at the different model levels, the lower level of optimization can have extra constraints added to the optimization problem which target variables at their unconstrained values in the upper layer of optimization. The systems and methods can facilitate selection of variables to receive an external target such that stability of the solution is improved or maximized. This can be achieved, at least in part, by identifying variables that provide a reduced or minimized condition number for a sub-matrix in the lower level model when an additional external constraint is applied.

  • Patent number: 11075519
    Abstract: Systems and methods to control a capacitor bank based on the power flow direction are described herein. For example, a capacitor bank controller (CBC) may determine a power flow direction based on one or more current measurements and one or more voltage measurements. The CBC may control the capacitor bank using a first quantity when the power flow direction is in a first direction. The CBC may control the capacitor bank using a second quantity when the power flow direction is in a second direction. The second quantity may be different from the first quantity to account for the relationship between sensors of the CBC with respect to the capacitor bank on the power line.

  • Publication number: 20210222306
    Abstract: An electrolysis cell includes an anode chamber and a cathode chamber separated by an ion-exchange membrane. The electrolysis cell includes an anode, a gas diffusion electrode, and a cathode current distributor. The anode, the ion-exchange membrane, the gas diffusion electrode, and the cathode current distributor are in direct touching contact in the mentioned order. Flexibly resilient holding elements are arranged on the other side of the anode and/or on the other side of the cathode current distributor. The flexibly resilient holding elements exert a contact pressure on the anode and/or on the cathode current distributor. The flexibly resilient holding elements have annular elements, the axis of which is oriented in the height direction of the electrolysis cell. By means of the flexibly resilient and in part also plastically deforming annular elements, effective mechanical contact pressure of the ion-exchange membrane against the oxygen-depolarized cathode is achieved.
