  • Publication number: 20250060342
    Abstract: Liquid chromatography systems described herein are smaller in size and with a reduced extra-column volume due to direct connection of a liquid chromatography column and/or detector to an injector valve and due to eliminating the need for a column oven by relying on heating of the liquid chromatography column and detector by a preheater. The size of the liquid chromatography systems are enough that the liquid chromatography systems may be deployed adjacent to automated sample preparation robotics, adjacent to a process stream, or adjacent to the inlet of a mass spectrometer. In addition, the extra-column volume of the liquid chromatography systems may be reduced by eliminating many of the connection tubes and by situating components of the liquid chromatography system in closer proximity.

  • Publication number: 20250060418
    Abstract: Examples determine a reference complex impedance of a reference cell over a range of one or more frequencies. Examples determine an in situ complex impedance, over the range of one or more frequencies, of each of one or more cells of a battery with measurement equipment, the battery and the measurement equipment in situ in an end use system, the measurement equipment including sense conductor(s) coupled to each cell and force conductor(s) coupled to the battery. For each cell of the battery, examples determine a model complex impedance that, when in combination with the impedance of the cell, accounts at least in part for a difference between the in situ impedance of the cell and the reference impedance, the examples then adjust the in situ impedance as a function of the model impedance. Examples control operation of the battery based on the adjusted impedance of each of the particular cells.

  • Patent number: 12223201
    Abstract: A hierarchical network enables access for a stacked memory system including or more memory dies that each include multiple memory tiles. The processor die includes multiple processing tiles that are stacked with the one or more memory die. The memory tiles that are vertically aligned with a processing tile are directly coupled to the processing tile and comprise the local memory block for the processing tile. The hierarchical network provides access paths for each processing tile to access the processing tile's local memory block, the local memory block coupled to a different processing tile within the same processing die, memory tiles in a different die stack, and memory tiles in a different device. The ratio of memory bandwidth (byte) to floating-point operation (B:F) may improve 50× for accessing the local memory block compared with conventional memory. Additionally, the energy consumed to transfer each bit may be reduced by 10×.

  • Patent number: 12203906
    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments may determine a temperature set point for an outlet heater or cooler based on available information without requiring user input or requiring only minimal user input. The exemplary embodiments may estimate the temperature set point of the outlet heater based on available information, such as pressure delta along the column, temperature at the inlet of the chromatography column, and volumetric flow rate. In some instances, the estimate may be normalized for column dimensions, such as length and diameter. Tailing factor may also be used in determining the estimate. The estimate is not computationally burdensome and can be recalculated as the chromatography column is in use.
