  • Publication number: 20250123160
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for initiating thermochemical events in an adiabatic reaction calorimeter are provided. The apparatus and method may be used in safety research of lithium battery and reactive chemical thermal runaways. The apparatus comprises a motor-driven conductive heating element in thermal contact with the outer surface of the reaction in the sample container for heat transfer during heating ramp. The heating element is heated and coupled to the sample container to initiate thermal runaway and decoupled once thermal runaway is initiated, which is much faster than many existing slow heating methods used to initiate thermal runaway. Alternatively, when the heating element is kept attached until the completion of the thermal event, a power-compensation DSC curve is resulted.

  • Patent number: 12104966
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for providing an adiabatic power compensation differential scanning calorimeter to minimize a temperature difference between a sample and a reference. For instance, methods can include providing ramp-up heating power to heat a sample container and a reference container based on a preprogrammed temperature ramp rate; minimizing a temperature difference among the sample container, the reference container, and at least one furnace; providing compensating heat to the sample container and the reference container when a self-heating activity of the sample material is detected; providing container-only compensating heat to the sample container to block heat transfer from the sample material to the sample container once the self-heating activity of the sample material is detected; and providing compensating heat to the reference container to facilitate container-only compensating heat calculation and control.

  • Publication number: 20240246147
    Abstract: In an example of a method for three-dimensional printing, a first amount of a binding agent is selectively applied, based on a 3D object model, to individual build material layers of a particulate build material including metal particles to forming an intermediate structure. The binding agent and/or a void-formation agent is selectively applied, based on the 3D object model, to at least one interior layer of the individual build material layers so that a total amount of the binding agent, the void-formation agent, or both the binding agent and the void-formation agent in the at least one of the individual build material layers is greater than the first amount. This patterns an area that is to contain voids. The intermediate structure is heated to form a 3D structure including a void-containing breakable connection.

  • Publication number: 20230249258
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may generate first print control data that may include instructions to deposit a binding liquid onto selected areas in an upper set of layers of build material particles. The processor may also determine areas in a lower set of layers of build material particles at which a non-binding liquid that does not include the binder to be deposited to define sections of a part enhancement section, the lower set of layers being within a predefined distance below the upper set of layers, in which the areas in the lower set of layers are based on the areas in the upper set of layers of build material particles at which the sections of the part are to be defined. The processor may further generate second print control data corresponding to the determined areas in the lower set of layers.

  • Patent number: 11548990
    Abstract: A belt with a tensile cord embedded in an elastomeric body, having an adhesive composition impregnating the cord and coating the fibers. The adhesive composition is the reaction product of a polyisocyanate and a polyol, or a polyurethane prepolymer derived therefrom, and a polyamine curative and optionally additional polyol, and with optionally added plasticizer. At least one of the polyisocyanate, the prepolymer, and the polyamine are blocked with a blocking agent. The belt body may be of cast polyurethane, vulcanized rubber, or thermoplastic elastomer. The cord may have an adhesive overcoat.

  • Publication number: 20210109103
    Abstract: In an in vitro method of determining the modification degree of O-GlcNAc in a biological sample, a first sample is treated with B3GALNT2 to incorporate a GalNAz into closed O-GlcNAc sites in the sample, labeled using click chemistry to form labeled closed O-GlcNAc sites, and the labeled closed O-GlcNAc sites in the first sample are detected (corresponding to the number of closed O-GlcNAc sites in the biological sample). A second, duplicate sample is treated with OGT to O-GlcNAcylate open O-GlcNAc sites in the sample to convert the open O-GlcNAc sites to closed O-GlcNAc sites, and treated with B3GALNT2 to incorporate GalNAz into the closed O-GlcNAc sites. The second sample is labeled using click chemistry to form labeled closed O-GlcNAc sites (corresponding to the total number of O-GlcNAc sites in the biological sample). The number of closed O-GlcNAc sites and total O-GlcNAc sites in the biological sample are compared to determine the modification degree of O-GlcNAc.
