  • Publication number: 20240263166
    Abstract: A method of purifying nucleic acids using solid phases that are modified by a blocking reagent to limit the binding area and/or binding site of the solid phases to reduce the binding capacity of the solid phase to the nucleic acids. The starting amount of the nucleic acids exceeds the binding capacity of the solid phase, and the amount of the purified nucleic acid is in a fix amount, not proportional to the starting amount of the nucleic acids.

  • Patent number: 11384095
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the preparation of phthalic anhydride compounds and the intermediate phthalide compounds. In particular, the invention is directed to an improved bio-based route from furanic compounds to phthalic anhydride compounds by reacting furfuryl alcohol (i.e. 2-hydroxymethylfuran) or an analogue thereof having a nucleophilic atom on the 2-methyl, with a dienophile comprising an ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl comprising an ??-leaving group. The inventions further involved preparation of phthalic anhydride compounds, phthalic acid compounds and reduction products of the intermediate phthalide compounds.

  • Patent number: 11276622
    Abstract: A semiconductor arrangement and an inverter incorporating the semiconductor arrangement, in particular to an inverter for use with traction power units e.g. for on and off road vehicles and stationary power inversion, are described. In the arrangement, semiconductor devices are thermally and electrically coupled to a heatsink as a module. The heatsink is configured as a bus bar to electrically connect the one or more semiconductor devices together to transmit power between the one or more semiconductor devices. The semiconductor devices may be cooled using the structure to which they are attached, and also immersed in a cooling medium to further increase the cooling of the device.
