  • CAP ASSEMBLY AND SECONDARY BATTERY
    Publication number: 20190267582
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cap assembly and a secondary battery. The cap assembly comprises a cap plate, a reinforcement structure and a vent piece. The cap plate is provided with a through-hole; the vent piece is fixed with the cap plate and covers the through-hole from above. The reinforcement structure is provided in the through-hole and fixed with an inner wall of the through-hole, and the reinforcement structure partially blocks the through-hole. The secondary battery comprises: a case having an opening in a top thereof, an electrode assembly received in the case, and the cap assembly according to the first aspect of the present disclosure fixed with the case in the top. When the secondary battery works normally, a certain amount of gas will be generated inside the secondary battery, thereby leading to a pressure inside the secondary battery increasing.

  • Chiral synthesis method for producing cis-imidazoline compounds for pharmaceutical use
    Patent number: 10329279
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for enantioselective synthesis of cis-imidazolines and related structures through chiral resolution. A chiral acid is used to separate enantiomeric precursors of the cis-imidazolines from a racemic mixture by selective crystallization. Both enantiomers can be cyclized into the desired cis-imidazoline by complementary pathways. Compounds can be synthesized according to the invention with an enantiomeric excess as high as 99%. Cis-imidazolines such as Nutlin-3a prepared according to this invention may be used for treating cancer, killing senescent cells, or treating senescence-associated conditions.

  • Track and hold circuit
    Patent number: 10128830
    Abstract: A track and hold circuit comprises an input buffer amplifier, a unit gain amplifier module, a sampling switch, a drive triode and a sampling capacitor. The input buffer amplifier receives an input signal. In a track phase, the sampling switch is electrically connected to an emitter electrode of the drive triode; the input signal charges the sampling capacitor after being buffered by the input buffer amplifier, amplified without distortion by the unit gain amplifier module and driven by the drive triode. In a hold phase, the sampling switch is electrically connected to a base electrode of the drive triode; the base voltage of the drive triode is pulled down until the drive triode is cut off; electrical charges on the sampling capacitor are thereby held, causing the signal to be held on the sampling capacitor.

  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PRESENTING UPDATES IN A MESSAGING THREAD
    Publication number: 20180302358
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for presenting and targeting media in communications services. Media, such as live events, updates on a topic of interest, or digests of news sites or other content providers may be surfaced to a user in a number of ways; for example, an article view relating to the topic, a messaging view showing message threads, a media view showing interesting pieces of media, or in an active conversation based on analysis of a conversation and trending topics, such as news events. A system may suggest recipients that may be interested in discussing the content. The recipients may be presented in a ranked order based, for example, on an affinity or relationship of the recipients to a publisher of the content.
