  • Patent number: 12288635
    Abstract: An electronic device in a wireless power system may be operable with a removable accessory such as a case. The device may convey wireless power to, from, or through the case while the device is coupled to the case. The device may have coplanar power transmitting and power receiving coils. The removable accessory may have an embedded switchable ferrimagnetic core and a coil that overlaps the switchable ferrimagnetic core. The switchable ferrimagnetic core may be operable in a first state where the switchable ferrimagnetic core is unsaturated. The switchable ferrimagnetic core may be operable in a second state where the switchable ferrimagnetic core is saturated by a magnetic field from a permanent magnet in a wireless power transmitting device. In the second state, the switchable ferrimagnetic core may have a lower magnetic permeability and higher magnetic reluctance than in the first state.

  • Patent number: 12264067
    Abstract: A residue stream comprising liquid hydrocarbons and metal-rich solid particles is reacted with an oxidant stream in a gasifier to produce a syngas stream that is quenched in a water bath. The risk of plugging in the water lines is reduced by removing solids from the recycled water streams. Acid gases are stripped from at least a portion of the recycled water to reduce the risk of precipitates forming from the reaction of dissolved acid gases with metal ions.

  • Publication number: 20250034512
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a Pseudoalteromonas agarivorans strain and a preparation method of an exopolysaccharide (EPS), and relates to the technical field of functional bacteria. In the present disclosure, the Pseudoalteromonas agarivorans strain HJWL2022 has a deposit number of CGMCC No. 26272. Fermentation, centrifugation, alcohol precipitation, protein removal, purification, and drying are conducted with the strain HJWL2022 to obtain a pure EPS. A proportion of a monosaccharide component in the product EPS is controlled by precisely controlling a pH value in a fermentation environment of the strain HJWL2022. Targeted control of a monosaccharide ratio is achieved to enhance a certain biological activity by adjusting fermentation conditions to change a composition of a bacterial EPS.
