  • Patent number: 11959494
    Abstract: A pump assembly is presented including a motor housing holding an electric motor and a wet-end housing. The pump assembly also includes a heat transfer interface positioned between a front end of the motor housing and the wet-end housing. The heat transfer interface establishes a thermal conduction path between the motor housing and the wet-end housing so that, in use, a portion of heat generated by the motor is absorbed by the heat transfer interface and is dissipated in water circulating through the wet-end housing. In addition, or alternatively, another thermal conduction path may be established between the heat transfer interface and an electronic controller of the pump assembly so that heat generated by the controller is absorbed by the heat transfer interface and dissipated in water circulating through the wet-end housing.

  • Publication number: 20220221422
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for detecting cannabinoids in liquid or gaseous samples. In one aspect, the present invention uses a sensor element and two electrical circuit elements. When the sensor element is in contact with a sample containing cannabinoid, interactions between the sensor element and the cannabinoid changes or affects the sensor element's electrochemical properties. Using the two electrical circuit elements, this change can be detected. An analog signal relating to the changed electrochemical properties can be measured using the two electrical circuit elements. In one implementation, there is provided an organic field effect transistor (OFET) whose signal changes when in contact with a cannabinoid containing sample.

  • Publication number: 20200235317
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a light emitting composition comprising a light emitting agent that includes at least one boron subphthalocyanine (BsubPc) derivative and at least one boron subphthalocyanine with an extended ?-conjugation (BsubNc) derivative. The luminance spectrum of the light emitting agent may reveal peaks at particular wavelengths or “color targets” from parts of the “visible” portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The light emitting composition may be part of an organic light emitting diode (OLED).
