  • Patent number: 11261336
    Abstract: Processes, compositions and agents are included for inhibiting corrosion in various substrates, for example metal substrates. Corrosion inhibitors include organometallic polymers such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), including compositions and processes comprising MOFs for inhibiting corrosion in metal substrates. In some aspects, a method of protecting a substrate from corrosion includes applying a protective composition including a corrosion inhibitor to the surface of a substrate, where the corrosion inhibitor includes a metal organic framework (MOF).

  • Patent number: 10979406
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for streaming digital content. A content stream and metadata relating to the content stream are provided, and the content stream is encrypted with an encryption dependent on at least some of the metadata to provide an encrypted content stream. The metadata is embedded in readable form in the encrypted content stream and the encrypted content stream is transmitted together with the metadata in readable form such that the metadata is readable during transmission of the encrypted content stream and the readable metadata necessary for use in decryption of the encrypted content stream is provided.

  • Patent number: 10933496
    Abstract: A method for repairing a worn portion in an inner diameter surface of a bore of a cast iron part is disclosed. The inner diameter surface of the bore may have an original surface geometry prior to wear. The method may comprise forming a crescent-shaped pocket in the inner diameter surface of the bore to remove the worn portion, installing an insert in the crescent-shaped pocket, and post-machining the insert to form a crescent-shaped insert that is flush with the original surface geometry of the bore inner surface diameter.

  • Patent number: 10383536
    Abstract: A medical instrument has a tubular shaft, a handle at a proximal end of the shaft and a movable working part at a distal end of the shaft, the shaft includes a shaft section having a curvature and being arranged between the distal end and the proximal end of the shaft. The handle and the working part are operatively connected via a force transmission element extending through the shaft. The force transmission element has a section arranged within the curved shaft section of the shaft, the section being guided on an inner surface of the shaft and having a plurality of interconnected single elements arranged one after the other along the longitudinal direction of the shaft. The single elements are pairwise connected by a pin forming a hinged joint, such that each of the pins defines a rotation axis oriented substantially perpendicular relative to the shaft.
