  • Publication number: 20240017254
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for determining the presence and/or amount of a target in a sample. In some embodiments, a microfluidic device, such as a strip having a microfluidic network thereon, is inserted into an instrument to perform an assay therein. The strip may be configured to receive the sample from a porous member via capillary action, with minimal or no compression of the porous member. The instrument may include a gas bladder actuation assembly, actuated by an eccentric cam, to compress and decompress a gas bladder on the microfluidic device, thereby enabling fluid movement thereon. The instrument may further comprise a magnet disposed in a fixed location, so as to capture any complexes formed between the target and magnetic particles disposed within the microfluidic device. The magnet may be aligned with an optical detection assembly configured to detect the target captured with the magnetic particles.

  • Publication number: 20220170392
    Abstract: A beam-like crosshead for a valve train of an internal combustion engine is proposed for the transmission of a cam lift to two gas exchange valves. The crosshead has two side walls which are connected by a transverse wall, and, on an upper side of the transverse wall at its longitudinal center, a contact surface for a cam follower, and, on an underside of the transverse wall at each of its longitudinal ends, a valve contact surface. The crosshead is a reversed bowl-like hollow body which is produced from steel sheet using stamping/bending technology. From the transverse wall the side walls and, transversely at each longitudinal end, end walls hang in a finger-like manner. Cut edges between the side and end walls, starting from the transverse wall, form cut-outs.

  • Patent number: 10876472
    Abstract: A spark-ignited (SI) internal combustion (IC) engine designed to operate on high octane fuels, such as gasoline, is reconfigured to operate on low octane fuels including logistically preferred distillate fuels, such as diesel or JP-8. Design modifications involve coupling a fuel reformer module to the internal combustion engine. Auxiliary components include a system control module, a heat exchange module, a bypass valve to facilitate start-up, and/or a throttle body to control a reformate-oxidizer mixture fed to the engine. Small portable generators having 0.3-3.0 kWe power output are disclosed based upon the modified SI-IC engine design.

  • Patent number: 10738996
    Abstract: A gas-fired burner adapted for use on a liquid fuel. A method for essentially smokeless start-up and steady state operation of a gas-fired burner on a liquid fuel. The apparatus integrates a catalytic liquid fuel reformer with a flame burner designed for operation on a gaseous fuel of high Wobbe Index, e.g., natural gas. The method involves reacting a mixture of a liquid fuel and oxidant in a catalytic reformer to obtain a gaseous reformate having a low Wobbe Index; and thereafter combusting the gaseous reformate, optionally augmented with liquid co-fuel and oxidant, in the gas-fired burner under diffusion flame conditions. The invention allows commercial gas-fired appliances to be operated on a liquid fuel, thereby offering advantages in logistics and camp operations.

  • Patent number: 10112184
    Abstract: A method for synthesizing AEI zeolites is provided which results in high relative yields of AEI based on the weight of the reaction mixture and on the structure directing agent. The method also provides for the reduced use of water in the reaction mixture. A reaction mixture composition comprises the following components: at least one source of silica, at least one source of alumina, at least one structure directing agent (SDA), a source of hydroxide ions and water, where the silica sources and the alumina sources are expressed as SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively, and the components are present in the following ratios: SiO2/Al2O3 ?10-100 OH?/SiO2 0.2-0.9 SDA/SiO2 0.01-0.20 Alkali metal cation/SiO2 0.20-1.0?

  • Patent number: 9760375
    Abstract: A processor core includes even and odd execution slices each having a register file. The slices are each configured to perform operations specified in a first set of instructions on data from its respective register file, and together configured to perform operations specified in a second set of instructions on data stored across both register files. During utilization, the processor receives a first instruction of the first set specifying an operation, a target register, and a source register. Next, a second instruction upon which content of the source register depends is identified as being of the second set. In response, the first instruction is dispatched to the even slice. In accordance with the operation specified in the first instruction, the even slice uses content of the source register in its register file to produce a result. Copies of the result are written to the target register in both register files.
