  • Publication number: 20220177511
    Abstract: The invention provides a series of halogenated tetracyclic triterpene derivatives and their preparation and application. It is represented by the following general structural formula: R1 is halogen, R2 is H, and the halogen is selected from fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine; or R1 and R2 are each fluorine, and R3 is an amine, alcohol, amino acid, peptide or phosphate linked to oxygen through an acyl group. The derivatives are relatively stable in rat whole blood through pharmacokinetic studies. The absolute bioavailability after a single intragastric administration for male and female rats was 15.6% and 28.4% respectively. The mean bioavailability was 22%. The derivatives showed better in vivo activities compared with the existing standard drugs enalapril and sacubitril valsartan sodium. Meanwhile, hydrophilic prodrugs of the tetracyclic triterpenoid derivatives in the present invention were prepared. The derivatives of the present invention can be used for preparing cardiovascular medicines.

  • Patent number: 11333161
    Abstract: A curved surface processing method for an inlet edge of a cylindrical blade of a centrifugal pump impeller includes following steps. A center of an impeller is used as a center to draw circles having respective diameters. A first point having a first distance from the center is determined on a concave side curve at a top of the blade, and a second point having a second distance from the center is determined on a concave side curve at a bottom of the blade. By improving the shape of a blade in an impeller, the angle of an inlet edge at the top of the blade is more close to the tangent direction, and the inlet angle of the top blade is reduced. A twisted surface is formed between a first arc segment at the top and a second arc segment at the bottom.

  • Publication number: 20220087392
    Abstract: A handheld electric hair drier comprising a main body including a primary fluid inlet, a primary fluid outlet, a fan unit, a heating element, and a fluid flow path, and a handle. The fluid flow path comprises a primary fluid flow path that extends from the main body to the primary fluid outlet along a straight line, a side fluid flow path, and a wall-defined fluid flow path. Air fluid drawn through the side fluid flow path and the wall-defined path enters the fan unit through the primary fluid flow path. The fan unit is arranged on the primary fluid flow path, and the fan unit sucks fluid into the primary fluid flow path and transmits the fluid to pass through the heating element, so that the fluid in the primary fluid flow path is heated. The hair drier can provide high-pressure jet airflow and improve the air supplementing speed.

  • Patent number: 11243987
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a set of records from a set of inputs, with each record containing an entity key, a partition key, and one or more attribute-value pairs. Next, the system sorts and indexes the records by the entity key for each partitioned input. The system then processes a query of the records by matching entity key values to the sorted and indexed records for each input partition in the query. Next, the system merges the subset of records with the same entity key values into records, with each merged record containing an entity key field and a single field that includes a list of attribute-value pairs from the subset. Finally, the system outputs the merged records in response to the query.
