  • Patent number: 11867437
    Abstract: A dual reclaim coil with a smart control application is provided that allows the refrigerant inlet to the HVAC unit switch between the two sides of the condenser for heat reclaim for refrigerants such as CO2 which have a relatively low critical temperature compared to hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants. Heat reclaim after the exit of gas from the condenser utilizes the high temperature and pressure of the condenser/gas cooler outlet while a CO2 refrigerant system is operating above critical point. This occurs in hot ambient conditions, when the need for heating in the space is not as great as in the wintertime and the available heat at the condenser/gas cooler's outlet is sufficient to satisfy the heating load. When the CO2 refrigerant system is operating below the critical point, heat reclaim is carried out at the compressor discharge.

  • Publication number: 20240000890
    Abstract: A method for neural regeneration is provided at specific situses that include the inner ear and retina, where Ganglion cells respond to the method through at least stimulation of such cells. As a result, the method provides for reversing clinical conditions associated with the nerve degradation or disease. Specific clinical conditions reversed at least in part through nerve regeneration include hearing loss, tinnitus, and a host of neurotrophic retinopathies, diabetes, Norrie disease, and others. Nerve regeneration is accomplished with a protein that is a truncated synthetic polypeptide related to native norrin protein. Truncated norrin proteins have a longer half-life in the situs than native norrin proteins. A version of the truncated norrin protein lacks a cleavage site for a subject protease enzyme that cleaves native norrin proteins and thereby shortens the useful life of the therapeutic protein.
