Patent number: 11863109Abstract: The application provides a method and device for adjusting a permanent magnet motor, an equipment, and a storage medium. The method includes the following operations. An electronic equipment acquires a counter electromotive force (CEMF) parameter, information of an electromagnetic structure of a permanent magnet motor to be adjusted and a minimum impedance value of any short-circuited coil of the permanent magnet motor to be adjusted, to determine an operational time of the short-circuited coil. The electronic equipment further judges, according to the operational time of the short-circuited coil, whether an adjustment instruction is required to be transmitted to a production equipment. When the operational time is inconsistent with a preset time, the electronic equipment transmits the adjustment instruction to the production equipment. The production equipment adjusts, according to the adjustment instruction, the electromagnetic structure of the permanent magnet motor to be adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: CRRC YONGJI ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Xiuhui Xue, Xiaojun Hou, Tao Geng, Lei Zhang, Chen Jiang, Yukun Zhao, Lanlan Guo

Patent number: 10947587Abstract: A short tandem repeat (STR) typing method and system are developed for forensic identification of individual cells. Agarose-in-oil droplets are produced with a high frequency using a microfluidic droplet generator. Statistically dilute single cells, along with primer-functionalized microbeads, are randomly compartmentalized in the droplets. Massively parallel single-cell droplet PCR is performed to transfer replicas of desired STR targets from the single-cell genomic DNA onto a coencapsulated microbead. These DNA-conjugated beads are subsequently harvested and reamplified under statistically dilute conditions for conventional capillary electrophoresis STR fragment size analysis. The methods and systems described herein are valuable for the STR analysis of samples containing mixtures of cells/DNA from multiple contributors and for low concentration samples.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2014Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Tao Geng, Richard Novak, Richard A.
