  • POWER SUPPLY MODULE AND POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20250232886
    Abstract: A power supply module includes a capacitor module, a signal acquisition module, a module controller and a communication module. The capacitor module includes a supercapacitor, a charging circuit and a discharging circuit, where the charging circuit is configured to charge the supercapacitor, and the discharging circuit is configured to discharge a magnet in a magnetic confinement fusion apparatus via a bus. The signal acquisition module is configured to acquire a state signal of the capacitor module. The module controller is configured to control a charging-discharging state of the capacitor module and monitor the capacitor module based on the state signal. The communication module is configured to communicate with a module controller in another power supply module or a main controller in a power supply system. The power supply system is formed by multiple power supply modules and is configured to supply power to the magnet.

  • Method for modulating a bacterial invasion switch
    Patent number: 9889185
    Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein pertains to the modulation of a bacterial invasion switch and the subsequent use of the bacterium to vaccinate an organism. In one embodiment, the bacterial invasion switch is modulated by changing the proteolysis of ExoR protein. In another embodiment, a mutated bacterium produces a mutant ExoR protein that resists proteolysis.
