  • NON-AROMATIC COMPOUND REMOVAL SYSTEMS FOR PARA-XYLENE PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20230373885
    Abstract: Selective removal of non-aromatic hydrocarbons from a xylene isomerization process for para-xylene production is accomplished using a membrane unit positioned within a xylene recovery loop. The membrane unit may include a one-stage or multi-stage (e.g., two-stage) membrane system and may be configured to separate a membrane unit product stream from a non-aromatics rich stream, which can be removed from the xylene recovery loop. The membrane unit may have a xylene permeance of about 60 gm/m2/hr/psi and a xylene to non-aromatic permeance ratio of about 15.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SUPPRESSING SOUND LEAKAGE
    Publication number: 20230379639
    Abstract: A speaker comprises a housing, a transducer residing inside the housing, and at least one sound guiding hole located on the housing. The transducer generates vibrations. The vibrations produce a sound wave inside the housing and cause a leaked sound wave spreading outside the housing from a portion of the housing. The at least one sound guiding hole guides the sound wave inside the housing through the at least one sound guiding hole to an outside of the housing. The guided sound wave interferes with the leaked sound wave in a target region. The interference at a specific frequency relates to a distance between the at least one sound guiding hole and the portion of the housing.

  • System and method for pressure management and air leak detection of an inflatable cuff in a medical device
    Patent number: 11819611
    Abstract: An endotracheal or tracheostomy tube with a cuff assembly includes a cuff pressure regulator and a leak detection system. Pressure sensors monitor and measure a tracheal wall pressure and pressures in the cuff assembly. An abnormal reading from the pressure sensors may initiate a cuff-pressure adjusting process. The leak detection system detects an air leak in the seal between the cuff assembly and the tracheal wall. A scented film with a predetermined scent is positioned on an inferior portion of the cuff assembly, distally from the seal with the tracheal wall. An air leak is indicated when the predetermined scent is detected in air in the trachea proximal to the cuff assembly. An air-circulation device generates air flow into the trachea such that a new batch of air may be sampled and tested. The detection of an air leak may initiate a cuff-pressure adjusting process.
