Abstract: A pump comprising a housing, a motor disposed within the housing, and an impeller driven by the motor and configured to create a low-pressure region to draw fluid into the housing. The pump further includes a battery electrically coupled to the motor and configured to selectively supply electrical current to the motor and a controller operable to control operation of the motor.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises sending, by a client application to an email server, a first request to access an email message; receiving, in response to the first request, email message data, the email message data specifying a note identifier of a note; sending, to an application server, a second request to access the note based on the note identifier; receiving, in response to the second request, note data that defines, at least in part, content of the note; controlling a display device to display, based at least in part on the email message data and the note data, the email message and the note in-line with the email message.

Abstract: Metal-support interaction offers electronic, geometrical and compositional effects to tune and maneuver catalytically active sites. Here we report the first example of a reactive metal support interaction (RMSI) between Pt and various MXenes, which are two-dimensional (2D) metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides. The invention thus provides intermetallic Pt/MXene nanoparticle catalysts comprising platinum and MXene moieties. Pt3Ti and Pt3Nb intermetallic nanoparticle catalysts were prepared by RMSI of Pt nanoparticles supported on Ti3C2 and Nb2C MXenes. The intermetallic structures were verified by XAS, ARSTEM, and XPS. Experimental analysis showed that the extent of alloy formation is temperature dependent. Kinetics analysis revealed that in contrast to Pt/Al2O3, Pt supported by Nb2CTx exhibits weaker CO adsorption and the alloy-MXene interface shows enhanced ability of H2O dissociation for a water gas shift (WGS) reaction at 300° C.
