  • Patent number: 11530754
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a sealing diaphragm and a check valve comprising a sealing diaphragm for fluid technology applications. A sealing diaphragm for fluid technology applications is to be provided, which is economical and constructionally simple to produce, which can be used as a closing means for a check valve and with which unwanted interfering noise can be prevented during operation. The object of the disclosure is achieved by a sealing diaphragm with a flat, flexible sealing section, which can be bent or curved with a fluid pressure, wherein at least one resilient frictional tooth is provided on or next to the surface of the sealing section at a distance from an edge of the sealing section, designed and arranged in such a way that it forms an angle between 30° and 150° with the sealing section and it tilts together with the bending or curving movement of the flat sealing section, wherein the frictional tooth has a contact surface on a side orientated in the tilting direction.

  • Patent number: 11429887
    Abstract: One example includes a tunable current-mirror qubit. The qubit includes a plurality of flux tunable elements disposed in a circuit loop. A first portion of the flux tunable elements can be configured to receive a first input flux and a remaining portion of the flux tunable elements can be configured to receive a second input flux to control a mode of the tunable current-mirror qubit between a microwave excitation mode to facilitate excitation or quantum state manipulation of the tunable current-mirror qubit via a microwave input signal and a noise-protected mode to facilitate storage of the quantum state of the tunable current-mirror qubit. The qubit also includes at least one capacitor interconnecting nodes between respective pairs of the flux tunable elements to facilitate formation of Cooper-pair excitons in each of the microwave excitation mode and the noise-protected mode.
