  • Patent number: 11607957
    Abstract: Innovative peripheral bar assembly for a transportation vehicle is provided. The assembly includes a front bar housing with a front segment and a rear segment, and a through slot aligned with a diffuser operationally coupled to a first surface of an I/O PCB having a plurality of light sources emitting light that is transmitted through the diffuser and the slot. The assembly further includes a rear bar housing having a front segment and a rear segment, the front segment of the rear bar housing coupled to the rear segment of the front bar housing. A top surface of the peripheral bar assembly is coupled to a bottom of a chassis of a display system having a display module. The assembly configured to provide accent lighting through the slot of the front bar housing.

  • Publication number: 20220407566
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a controller for a device having near field RF communications capabilities. The controller is configured to: tune the impedance of at least one component of an impedance matching circuit to vary an impedance transformation provided by the impedance matching circuit; determine at least one indication of power output from the circuit, each at least one indication corresponding to an impedance transformation; and identify one of a plurality of modes of the circuit as an operating mode, based on the at least one indication, wherein the impedance matching circuit provides a different impedance transformation in each mode.

  • Patent number: 11512305
    Abstract: A nanoparticle (for example, quantum dot) serves as a substrate for immobilizing enzymes involved in consecutive reactions as a cascade. This results in a significant increase in the rate of catalysis as well as final product yield compared to non-immobilized enzymes.

  • Patent number: 11415023
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine for an aircraft comprises: an engine core comprising a turbine, a compressor, and a core shaft connecting the turbine to the compressor. The gas turbine engine further comprises a core casing surrounding the engine core. The gas turbine engine further comprises a core cowl surrounding the engine core and the core casing. The gas turbine engine further comprises an engine accessory gearbox driven by a take-off from the core shaft. The gas turbine engine further comprises an oil system having one or more oil pumps powered by the engine accessory gearbox for circulating lubricating oil around components of the engine including the engine accessory gearbox, and having an oil tank for receiving and storing oil scavenged from the engine components before recirculation thereto.

  • Patent number: 11168488
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a mechanically activated cementitious composite for stopping the impact of firearms, which involved the designing of mixes of Portland Composite Cement PCC mechanically activated through high energy mechanical milling (HEM) with other ingredients, such as: Ordinary PCC Cement, fine sand, fibers, and polymeric additives, among other compounds, to prepare high-performance composite walls capable of stopping several calibers up to type 50 (typically loaded in Barret rifles). In accordance with Mexican and U.S. Standards for ballistic tests, which entail the approval of the concrete ballistic-resistant wall as long as it resists one impact with a 50 caliber Barret, the present invention allows the construction of composite walls (with dimensions of 40×40×15 cm) with mechanically activated cement and performance complying with the standards.

  • Publication number: 20210238650
    Abstract: Lipase activity can be detected with a biosensor that includes a quantum dot adhered to a construct having a lipase-cleavable ester to attach a fluorophore acceptor configured as a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) acceptor to the QD when the construct is bound thereto. Cleavage of the ester by a lipase results in a measurable reduction in FRET. In further embodiments, the cleavable ester can be used to detect esterase activity, or the ester could be replaced with a glycosidic linkage to detect glycoside activity.
