  • Publication number: 20210242764
    Abstract: Magnetic transmissions and related methods are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a magnetic screw comprising an elongate body, a nut selectively magnetically coupled to the magnetic screw, and a potential energy storage system and/or a resistive force component. The nut is configured to be displaced relative to the elongate body in a first direction in response to manipulation of a magnetic field between the magnetic screw and the nut when the nut is magnetically coupled to the magnetic screw. In embodiments including a potential energy storage system, the potential energy storage system may store potential energy when the nut is displaced in the first direction. In embodiments including a resistive force component, the resistive force component may resist motion of the nut in the first direction by applying a resistive force to the nut at least partially in an opposing second direction.

  • Publication number: 20210237002
    Abstract: Functionalized membranes are produced via grafting of polymer brushes to the membrane surface for use, e.g., in separation and purification of biomolecules. One or more initiators are attached to the membrane surface. A reactant substrate, such as a copper metal plate, is placed adjacent the membrane. A reaction medium is then provided in fluid contact with the membrane and the reactant substrate, the reaction medium including one or more monomers, one or more ligands, and one or more solvents. The polymer brushes are grown on the membrane via Cu(0)-mediated controlled radical polymerization involving the reactant substrate and the reaction medium. This reaction process uses fewer numbers and amounts of chemicals compared to other controlled radical polymerization reactions such as ATRP. The reaction can take place at room temperature, which is more energy efficient than other CRPs which occur at a much higher temperatures.
