  • Publication number: 20240269331
    Abstract: Systems and methods that integrate fluid-based powder conveyance for cleaning articles, including lumens and medical devices are presented. For example, a method of cleaning an article comprises a step of flowing a first fluid comprising a cleaning agent to a chamber. Flowing the first fluid comprising the cleaning agent to the chamber creates a pressure differential across a filter fluidly coupled to the chamber. When a pressure differential reaches a threshold, indicating that the cleaning agent has been accurately metered, flow of the first fluid comprising the cleaning agent is stopped. Next, flowing a second fluid through the chamber conveys the cleaning agent to an article, e.g., through a lumen of a medical or culinary device, thereby cleaning the article.

  • Patent number: 12039393
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a contactless chip card that makes provision to obtain a voltage-rectifying-circuit-forming printed-circuit module incorporating one or more SMDs forming a full-wave bridge rectifier, to place this module in a punch provided in a conventional chip-card substrate, then, to form an NFC wire radiofrequency antenna by embedding a conductive wire in the bulk of the substrate, the ends of which are soldered to input terminals of the module. Other electronic modules operating on DC currents are then easily integrated into the card, electrical links with the rectifier module also being produced by embedding an electrical wire in the bulk of the substrate. The disclosure advantageously allows the combination of low cost embedding of a conductive wire by ultrasound to form a radiofrequency antenna and the flexibility of use of SMDs.
