Abstract: Disclosed is a method for partially regenerating a catalyst for methanol and/or dimethyl ether-to-olefin. The method comprises: introducing a mixed gas into a regenerated region containing a catalyst to be regenerated, and subjecting same to a partial regeneration reaction to obtain a regenerated catalyst, wherein the mixed gas contains water vapor and air; and in the regenerated catalyst, the coke content of at least part of the regenerated catalyst is greater than 1%. The method utilizes the coupling of a mixed gas of water vapor and air to activate a deactivated catalyst, selectively eliminate part of a coke deposit in the catalyst to be regenerated, and obtain a partially regenerated catalyst for methanol-to-olefin. Another aspect of the present invention is that further provided is a method for methanol and/or dimethyl ether-to-olefin by using the partially regenerated catalyst for methanol-to-olefin regenerated by means of the method.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to the technical field of coating anti-corrosion, in particular to an additive with synergy, self-repairing, anti-corrosion and its application. The additive includes hydrotalcite containing exchangeable anions and zeolite containing exchangeable cations. Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has both cation and anion exchange performance. When the corrosive electrolyte enters the coating film, it is in contact with the corrosion-resistant additive, and the corrosive ions (such as chloride ions or sodium ions) are adsorbed during the process of penetrating into the coating, and the corresponding anti-corrosion anions and cations are released, precipitated in the coating to close the gaps of the coating, or transferred to the metal substrate to form a protective layer, thereby acting as a barrier to protect the substrate and enhance the adhesion of the coating. Its anti-rust effect is obvious, and it can replace the anti-rust pigment containing lead or chromium.

Abstract: A flow sensor for pulmonary function testing is provided, and the flow sensor is capable of preventing cross-infection and has a hollow tubular structure. The flow sensor includes a main breather tube and a pressure tapping hole arranged on a tube wall of the main breather tube. An outer wall of the main breather tube is provided with a pressure tapping stub in air communication with the pressure tapping hole. The volume of an inner cavity of the pressure tapping stub satisfies following condition: during the pulmonary function testing, air exhaled or inhaled by a tester enters the pressure tapping stub through the pressure tapping hole and is kept within the pressure tapping stub without contacting a connection pipeline outside of the flow sensor. The flow sensor can isolate contaminants, i.e., bacteria or viruses and prevent the contaminants from entering other connection pipelines or cavities of a pulmonary function instrument.

Abstract: A bimodal metal nanocomposite of ceramic nanoparticles in a metal or metal alloy matrix has a microstructure showing a first “hard” phase containing the ceramic nanoparticles in the metal or metal alloy matrix, and a second “soft” phase comprising only the metal or metal alloy with few or no ceramic nanoparticles. The stiffness and yield strength of the bimodal metal nanocomposite is significantly increased compared to the metal or metal alloy alone, while the ductility of the metal or metal alloy is retained. A process for making the bimodal metal matrix nanocomposite includes milling a powder mixture of micrometer-size metal flakes and ceramic nanoparticles for a time sufficient to embed the ceramic nanoparticles into the metal flakes.

Abstract: A multi-modal imaging system (1) includes a fixed gantry (2), and a swivel gantry (8). The fixed gantry (2) supports a first imaging modality. The swivel gantry (8) connects to the fixed gantry (2) by at least three mounting points (10) and supports a second imaging modality. Selectively the swivel gantry (8) includes a swivel frame (16) and at least three mounting points (10) for mounting the fixed and swivel gantries together in an imaging configuration. The at least three mounting points (10) include at least one hinge (14) which permits the swivel gantry to swivel about the fixed gantry into a service configuration.

Abstract: When constructing a nuclear detector module in a gantry, a plurality of overlapping light guide modules (10) are mounted to the gantry in a spaced-apart fashion, and a plurality of underlapping light guide modules (12) are mounted in between each pair of overlapping light guide modules (10). Each of the underlapping modules and the overlapping modules includes a scintillation crystal array (16) on an interior surface thereof, and a plurality of PMTs on an exterior surface thereof. Overlapping modules (10) have overlapping structures (22) that interface with underlapping structures (18) on the underlapping modules (12) and thereby eliminate a seam directly beneath PMTs that overlap the crystal arrays of both an overlapping module and an underlapping module. Optical grease is used to form a resilient grease coupling and reduce light scatter between the underlapping and overlapping modules.
