  • Publication number: 20210119311
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a liquid injection device, including a conveying mechanism, a weighing mechanism, a lifting mechanism and a guide mechanism. The weighing mechanism is positioned below the conveying mechanism. The lifting mechanism is configured to transfer a battery on the conveying mechanism to the weighing mechanism. The guide mechanism includes a first guide plate, a second guide plate and a power member. A distance between the second guide plate and the first guide plate may be adjusted through the power member, so that the liquid injection device may be compatible with batteries with different models. It is unnecessary to perform model change operation when the battery is changed, thus improving production efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20210113178
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are described using a forward model to correct pulse pileup in spectrally resolved X-ray projection data from photon-counting detectors (PCDs). The forward model represents pulse pileup effects using an integral in which the integrand includes a term that is a function of a count rate, which term is called a spectrum distortion correction function. This correction function can be represented as superposition of basis energy functions and corresponding polynomials of the count rate, which are defined by the polynomial coefficients. To calibrate the forward model, the polynomial coefficients are adjusted to optimize an objective function, which uses calibration data having known projections lengths for the material components of a material decomposition. To determine projection lengths for projection data from a computed tomography scan, the calibrated polynomial coefficients are held constant and the projection lengths are adjusted to optimize an objective function.

  • Publication number: 20210099241
    Abstract: An electronic device has multiple transmitters to transmit multiple signals. The electronic device also has a receiver to receive a signal. Moreover, the electronic device has a memory to store instructions and a processor to execute the instructions. The instructions cause the processor to send a test transmission signal from a transmitter of the multiple of transmitters, receive the test transmission signal at the receiver, and determine a gain of the test transmission signal. In response to determining that the gain is within a threshold range of an initial gain, the instructions cause the processor to send an indication that the receiver is operating as expected.

  • Patent number: 10959697
    Abstract: Synchronizing operation between a digital radiographic detector's integration periods and an x-ray generator's x-ray pulse rate by transmitting a frame rate to the detector and the generator. In a first mode, the detector monitors one or more pixels to detect an x-ray pulse. The firing time of the detected x-ray pulse relative to an internal clock of the detector is used to synchronize the detector's integration periods with the pulse rate of the x-ray generator based on the transmitted frame rate and the detected firing time of the x-ray pulses. Successive pulses may also be used to determine a frame rate without prior transmission thereof.

    Abstract: A device and/or methodology are described that include a mechanism for separating erythrocytes from other constituents of blood and for purifying leukocytes from blood. The separation and purification aspects may be provided in separate components or within the same component. The separation aspect assists in separating erythrocytes (red blood cells) from other cells in blood, such as by aggregation of the red blood cells. A suitable aggregation device or device component uses chambers with at least one small dimension (e.g., a microfluidic chip) to control the interaction of the blood with a solution containing a high molecular weight polymer (e.g., dextran) to achieve separation.

  • Patent number: 10953109
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to application of a GPR45 gene. The present invention discloses, for the first time, a correlation between GPR45 and obesity and also discloses that obesity may be caused if the GPR45 gene is knocked out or the expression of the GPR45 gene is reduced. Moreover, an obese mouse model is established by adopting a method of blocking the expression of the GPR45 gene for the first time, which is more similar to the mechanism underlying the obesity of human, is thus an ideal model for obesity basis and clinical application researches and can be well applied in screening of drugs for treating obesity.
