Publication number: 20200040309Abstract: Disclosed are compositions, in particular, organoid compositions, derived from more than one donor cell. Further disclosed are methods of making compositions, for example, organoid compositions, that comprise a differentiated cell population derived from more than one donor cell. Donor cells may include, for example, a precursor cell such as an embryonic stem cell or other precursor cell. The disclosed methods use synchronization conditions to produce a synchronized pooled-precursor cell population, which may then be differentiated into an organoid composition. Methods of using the compositions are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2018Publication date: February 6, 2020Inventors: Takanori Takebe, Masaki Kimura, Ran-Ran Zhang

Patent number: 9627703Abstract: The present invention relates to a medium and high-temperature carbon-air cell, which include a solid oxide fuel cell, a CO2 separation membrane and a carbon fuel. The solid oxide fuel cell is a tubular solid oxide fuel cell with one end closed, the carbon fuel is placed inside the tubular solid oxide fuel cell, and the CO2 separation membrane is sealed at the open end of the solid oxide fuel cell. In the carbon-air cell, with carbon as fuel and oxygen in the air as an oxidizing gas, electrochemical reactions occur. The carbon-air cell of the present invention has a novel structural design, and can achieve electricity generation with the solid oxide fuel cell without externally charging a gas, and at the same time, CO2 generated inside the solid oxide fuel cell can be discharged from the system through the CO2 separation membrane in time.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2013Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: NANJING UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Ran Ran, Huangang Shi, Binbin Yang, Guangming Yang, Chao Li, Zongping Shao

Patent number: 9257225Abstract: The LC combined transformer is a combination of capacitors, inductors and an electrically-isolated mutual inductor, i.e. conventional transformer; which in principle is a unity-coupled mutual capacitor or a cascade connection of an ideal transformer and unity-coupled mutual capacitor(s). To improve the imperfections of widely-used transformers, by employing the simplest passive-circuit design to attain a perfectly-functional match between mutual capacitors and the mutual inductor, this invention achieves optimal features of current or/and voltage transformation, and introduces a new function of waveform conversion from square to quasi-sine. The ideal current transformer herein is suitable for sinusoidal current measurements, the ideal voltage transformer herein suitable for sinusoidal voltage measurements, and they also could be upgraded to ideal transformers for both current and voltage transformations.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2008Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Inventors: Chun Li, Jason (Jian Hao) Li, Ran Ran Li

Patent number: 7775294Abstract: This invention discloses a percussion toggle device of a percussion driller. It includes bottom ratchet wheel that joggles the top ratchet wheel fixed in the output main shaft of the percussion driller, the locking ring used to lock the rotating direction of bottom ratchet wheel, the ejector rod to eject the locking ring, the slide rod that works with ejector rod to make it rise or fall, the percussion button connecting the slide rod, the positioning device to fixate the position of slide rod, and the reset device that works with the positioning device to remove the position limitation by the positioning device. This invention locks the rotating direction of bottom ratchet wheel through the independent percussion button, slide rod and ejector rod. In this way, the percussion toggle and the adjustment of torque force of the percussion driller can be separated. When using the percussion button, the user can toggle their operation between percussion and torque force.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2008Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Dongguan Qunsheng Powder Metallurgy Co., Ltd.Inventors: Xi-Ren Ren, Zhi-Wei Bai, Ran-Ran Xia
