  • Patent number: 12380996
    Abstract: Software of devices, such as medical devices or other constrained devices configured to implement specific functions, can use content files to determine text strings or other content values to present in association with user interface elements. Devices can receive relevant content files, such as new versions of previously-stored content files or new content files containing text in different languages, from a remote content file repository. The software of the devices can accordingly update content values presented in user interfaces based on newly received content files, without the software being re-coded, the software being restarted, or the devices rebooting.

  • Publication number: 20240376028
    Abstract: Production of HFO-1132 and, in particular, HFO-1132E, may be produced from 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (CFC-113). In a first step, 1,1,2-trifluoroethane (HFC-143) is produced by hydrogenating 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (CFC-113) by reaction with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to produce 1,1,2-trifluoroethane (HFC-143). The 1,1,2-trifluoroethane (HFC-143) may then be dehydrofluorinated in the presence of a catalyst to produce trans-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132E) and/or cis-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132Z). The cis-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132Z) may then be isomerized to produce trans-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132E).

  • Patent number: 12123141
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a screen cylinder that is particularly suitable for screening, filtering, fractionating, or sorting cellulose pulp or fibre suspensions of the pulp and paper industry or other similar suspensions. The present invention relates more particularly to screening devices, which are usually cylindrical though also conical shapes are known. Such screening devices have basically two optional constructions. A first one comprises a plurality of screen wires positioned substantially axially and at a small spacing parallel to each other. The plurality of screen wires forms a screening surface facing the pulp or fibre suspension to be screened and adjacent wires form screening openings therebetween allowing an accept portion of the pulp or fibre suspension to flow therethrough. The second construction comprises a drilled or slotted sheet metal plate bent to a circular, or in broader terms, rotationally symmetrical shape.
