  • Patent number: 11788492
    Abstract: A reheat assembly for a gas turbine engine includes; a jetpipe casing defining a reheat core section configured to duct a core flow of air and a reheat bypass section configured to duct a bypass flow of air. The reheat bypass section is disposed radially outward of the reheat core section, and the reheat core section and the reheat bypass section are at least partially separated by a support duct. An integrated flameholder is mounted to the jetpipe casing, and a fuel pipe is configured to convey fuel to the integrated flameholder. The integrated flameholder includes a flameholder body extending radially inward from the jetpipe casing through the reheat bypass section and into the reheat core section to promote a wake-stabilised region downstream of the body; and an integrated atomiser configured to atomise fuel provided to the integrated flameholder and to discharge the atomised fuel into the wake stabilised region.

  • Publication number: 20220389501
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for analyzing DNA including forming labeled DNA fragments by cleaving genomic DNA into DNA fragments, selectively functionalizing any non-methylated CpG sites present in the DNA with a linker including a hydrolyzable moiety, and attaching a label to the linker. The method further includes the step of separating the labeled DNA fragments from any non-labeled DNA fragments, hydrolyzing the hydrolyzable moiety of the linker of the separated labeled DNA fragments so as to release the DNA fragments from the label, and sequencing the released DNA fragments.

  • Publication number: 20220340946
    Abstract: A method of reversibly labeling a biomolecule including providing a linker molecule (11) having a first functional group (LG) with a reactive center, a second functional group (FG) with a reactive center, and a cleavable, e.g. hydrolyzable, moiety (A-B-C). The method further includes forming a covalent bond between the biomolecule (10) and the reactive center of the first functional group (LG), forming a covalent bond between a first label (L1) and the reactive center of the second functional group (FG), cleaving the cleavable moiety (A-B-C), e.g. hydrolyzing the hydrolyzable moiety, of the linker molecule (11) to remove the first label (L1) and to form a third functional group (W) with a reactive center, and forming a covalent bond between a further molecule and the reactive center of the third functional group (W) to reform the cleavable moiety, e.g. hydrolyzable moiety (A-B-C).

  • Publication number: 20210153326
    Abstract: An LED light fixture having an inexpensive camera or sensor is disclosed. The LED light fixture utilizes a controller that is configured to turn the LED light on and/or adjust brightness of the LED in response to motion only within a perimeter programmed into the controller. This perimeter can be defined by known light output of known LED lenses. The ability to program light detection to be only within a given perimeter allows for the use of generic sensors, such as fisheye cameras, with varying lenses and LED bulbs to provide a lower cost option in motion sensing technology.

  • Publication number: 20200389962
    Abstract: An LED array having a driver connected to a sensor. The sensor can be either integral with a controller or separate from the driver and in communication with the controller. The sensor is configured to sense one or more of the temperature, forward voltage, LED voltage, and/or total driver power. The controller is preferably configured for wireless connectivity with a local computer, such as by Bluetooth® or configured for an internet connection to allow for remote monitoring of the LED array. The controller can be configured to compare the sensed voltage, temperature, forward voltage, and/or driver power and compare it to a programmed and/or sensed base and notify of a fault. Alternatively, the controller can be connected to a computer via internet and/or wireless signal (such as Bluetooth®) to compare the sensed condition to a normal condition to determine if a fault has occurred.

  • Patent number: 10768974
    Abstract: A method of ordering multiple resources in a transaction includes receiving a transaction for a plurality of resources and determining, for each resource, the work embodied by the transaction. The work includes at least one identified parameter relating to an operation for the resource. The method further may include specifying an order of the resources according to the determination of the work, committing the transaction, and invoking the resources in the selected order. Specifying the order of the resources may include specifying the resource to be invoked last. Alternatively, or additionally, specifying the order of the resources also may include specifying that each resource carrying out read-only work be invoked first.
