Abstract: The synthesis of katononic acid nanosheets is a method of extraction of katononic acid from the n-hexane fraction of Nuxia oppositifolia. The katononic acid isolated from N. oppositifolia may be suspended in methanol and added dropwise to boiling water, sonicated, stirred, and freeze dried to form katononic acid nanosheets. These katononic acid nanosheets may be used to kill cancer cells or microorganisms.

Abstract: A motor control unit (MCU) and methods of operating the same are provided. The MCU includes a housing enclosing a retractable stab assembly (RSA) having stabs attached thereto. The MCU further includes a bracket assembly having a mount for securing the bracket assembly to the RSA, guiderails for slideably engaging the RSA to facilitate the extending and retracting motion, and a lead screw accessible via an opening in the front of the housing. Rotating the lead screw causes the RSA to extend and retract which engages and disengages the stabs. The MCU also includes a motor assembly having a drive motor coupled to a drive shaft. The motor rotates the shaft in response to control signals from a remote-device. The motor assembly attaches to the housing such that the rotation of the shaft in response to the signals rotates the lead screw to engage and disengage the stabs.

Abstract: For a secure device chamber, the device chamber is disposed in a chassis and includes a device port. A door latches to obstruct access to the device chamber. A logic circuit receives an uninterrupted power supply from a computer, stores a device access value, and unlatches the door in response to activation of a chamber eject button and a device access value not being a device secure mode.

Abstract: The particle swarm optimization method for microgrids formulates a control problem as an optimization problem and PSO is used to search the solution space for optimal parameter settings in each mode. The procedure models optimal design of an LC filter, controller parameters and damping resistance in grid-connected mode. Moreover, the procedure optimizes controller parameters and power sharing coefficients in autonomous mode. The method uses particular nonlinear time-domain-based and eigenvalue-based objective functions to minimize the error in the measured power, and also to enhance the damping characteristics, respectively.
