  • Publication number: 20250115722
    Abstract: The precipitant is provided in the precipitant reservoir (9), the polymer solution in the reservoir container (6). By means of the precipitant pump (7), the precipitant is fed under pressure to the nozzle arrangement (4) and the free jet (1) is generated. The polymer solution arrives in the form of a continuous, non-atomized polymer solution jet (2) onto the flat side of the free jet (1). At the location (3) of impact of the polymer solution jet (2), the average differential velocity between the precipitant stream and the polymer solution is greater than or equal to one meter per second. Due to corresponding shear forces at the location (3) of impact, a good distribution of the polymer solution on the surface of the free jet (1) and at the same time an immediately good mixing of polymer solution and precipitant is achieved. In the free jet (1), the polymer contained in the supplied polymer solution is precipitated as solid polymer particles.

  • Patent number: 12188878
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for foreign object debris monitoring in an environment with a dynamic debris field, such as an environment for operating an aircraft. The debris monitoring technique includes generating a light beam and dispersing it to create a virtual witness plate, which is a two-dimensional sheet of light that covers a detection area. The technique also include detecting scattered light from the virtual witness plate caused by debris passing through it. A debris event may be generated based on the scattered light, indicating the presence of debris in the detection area.

  • Patent number: 11530296
    Abstract: The invention relates to new cationic polymers conjugated with D-fructose, as a result of which they can selectively interact with specific structure elements on cell surfaces. The problem was that of creating novel, biocompatible, easy-to-produce, D-fructose-conjugated cationic polymers that have a higher selectivity with respect to certain cell types. To solve this problem, the invention proposes cationic polymers with covalently bonded D-fructose of general formula (I) with the following components: a) cationic polymer: macromolecular compounds of n repeat units with one or more positive charges; b) linker: a unit that links the cationic polymer with D-fructose or derivatives of D-fructose by means of any alkyl or aryl group, any alkenyl or alkinyl group, an ether, thioether or amine, an ester, amide or other carboxylic acid derivative, a heterocycle (e.g.

  • Patent number: 11344859
    Abstract: The invention discloses a reactor for preparing a formulation. The reactor comprises at least two apertures, a base and at least one sidewall extending flush therefrom, wherein the base and the sidewall together define a mixing chamber with a height hM and at least one axis of symmetry arranged substantially perpendicular to the base and at least one distance r from the sidewall. A first aperture is arranged within the base or adjacent to the base in the sidewall of the mixing chamber at a height hA ranging from 0.6 to 0.0 hM in order to introduce free-flowing materials and/or mixtures to the mixing chamber. The first aperture is configured with a non-return valve disposed therein or adjacent thereto, the non-return valve permitting the introduction of free-flowing materials to the mixing chamber through the aperture, but preventing outflow of free-flowing materials from the mixing chamber through the aperture.

  • Publication number: 20070159634
    Abstract: The present invention provides an economically feasible robust spatial heterodyne spectroscopy (SHS) interferometer. A first type prior art monolithic SHS interferometer is exceedingly expensive, whereas a second type of prior art SHS interferometer is extremely large and has many components, which need to be tuned. The present invention is much less expensive than the first type of prior art SHS interferometer and is much smaller that the second type of prior art SHS interferometer.
