Abstract: A reforming reactor and process of using same in which a flow distributor distributes the process gas circumferentially to the reactive zone. Feed is injected into the reactor into a non-reactive zone. The non-reactive zone has two portions, a first portion receiving the feed, and a second portion receiving a purge gas. The purge gas will flow from the second portion to the first portion to prevent flow of the feed from the first portion to the second portion. The combined gas may be passed to a reaction zone for catalytic reforming. The first portion and the second portion may be separated by a flow distributor having two horizontal portions connected to opposite ends of a vertical portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of small household appliances and discloses a separable evacuation device. The separable evacuation device includes an evacuation module. The evacuation module includes a base, which is connected to an opening of a to-be-evacuated container; a vacuum pump, which is disposed on the base and configured to vacuum the to-be-evacuated container; a power supply assembly, which is connected to the vacuum pump and configured to supply power to the vacuum pump; and a control assembly, which is connected to the power supply assembly and the vacuum pump and includes a vacuum pressure switch. The vacuum pressure switch is configured to detect an air pressure value in the to-be-evacuated container and control the power supply assembly to perform one of supplying power to the vacuum pump or powering off the vacuum pump.

Abstract: Luminescent lanthanide complexes comprising a triazine-based ligand capable of selective detection of urinary polyamines and their methods of use in detecting and quantifying urinary polyamines as well as prostate cancer biomarkers, such as spermine. The detection of the urinary polyamines can be accomplished using colorimetric methods such as, with an ultraviolet-visible spectrometer.

Abstract: Provided herein are lanthanide complexes that exhibit specific subcellular localization to primary cilium. The lanthanide complexes provided herein are useful for imaging, tagging, and pull down of binding targets located in primary cilium.

Abstract: This invention is about an improved garage door opener system, with design features for preventing garage door break-in from outside of the garage using an object such as a hanger. Typically, a person pulls down a cord connected to a release handle to release emergency release of a garage door opener, allowing the door to be manually open or closed. An unauthorized person may attempt to pull down the cord using a hanger from outside the garage or to pull or push down the release handle, to open the door from outside and gain unauthorized entrance. The improved garage door opener system provides a mechanism to reverse the pulling direction of the cord and also protects release handle from being accessed from outside the garage, for increased security.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to urinary polyamines useful as prostate cancer biomarkers. In particular, the present disclosure provides a novel, highly-sensitive and specific, method for detecting and quantifying urinary polyamines using lanthanide complexes or citrate capped gold nanoparticles.

Abstract: A memory device may include memory components to store data. The memory device may also include a processor that may decode a codeword associated with the data. The processor may receive the codeword and determine whether the codeword is independently decodable using a BCH decoder. The processor may then decode the codeword using the BCH decoder when the codeword is determined to be independently decodable using the BCH decoder. Otherwise, the processor may decode the codeword using a second decoder and the BCH decoder when the codeword is not determined to be independently decodable using the BCH decoder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a water-soluble, simple, stable tris(N-(tert-butyl)acetamide) cyclen-based europium complex HGEu001 which exhibits the specific subcellular localization in the primary cilium with a quantum yield as high as 10% in water and a lifetime of 0.56 ms lifetime. In particular, the present invention provides simplicity of the design and synthesis of a complex. Comprehensive studies were performed in numerous cell lines, such as HeLa, SN-K-SH and MRC5; the motif structure, HGEu002, has also been synthesized as the negative control for in vitro imaging studies. The two photon in vitro imaging were done in three dimensions to emphasize on the specific localization in primary cilium of HGEu001. This is one of the very limited examples for direct primary cilium imaging.
