  • Patent number: 11960125
    Abstract: Provided is an optical fiber adapter. The optical fiber adapter includes a first adapter body, a shielding gate elastically hinged to a lower end portion of the first adapter body, and a second adapter body whose a lower end portion is inserted into a cavity of the first adapter body. An end surface of the lower end portion of the second adapter body extends downward to form extension posts and an engagement arm, the extension posts are pressed against two ends of a hinge shaft of the shielding gate, and the engagement arm is exposed outside the shielding gate and is engaged with an optical fiber connector joint inserted into a lower end portion of the first adapter body. This structural design can facilitate the installation and fixation of the shielding gate, and thus a better light-shielding and dust-proof effect can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20230043407
    Abstract: Devices and methods for controlling molecular transport are disclosed herein. The devices include a membrane having a plurality of nanochannels extending therethrough. The membrane has an inner electrically conductive layer and an outer dielectric layer. The outer dielectric layer creates an insulative barrier between the electrically conductive layer and the contents of the nanochannels. At least one electrical contact region is positioned on a surface of the membrane. The electrical contact region exposes the electrically conductive layer of the membrane for electrical coupling to external electronics. When the membrane is at a first voltage, molecules flow through the nanochannels at a first release rate. When the membrane is at a second voltage, charge accumulation within the nanochannels modulates the flow of molecules through the nanochannels to a second release rate that is different than the first release rate.

  • Patent number: 10041923
    Abstract: A system for measuring water quality parameters, such as pH, CO2, alkalinity, and so forth, includes sensors or other measuring components integrated onto a circuit board. The circuit board may be contained within a submersible, watertight housing. A spectrophotometer may be located on the circuit board to measure the wavelength and intensity of light transmitted through the water being tested. Sensors for measuring salinity, pressure, temperature, or other properties may also be included on or near the circuit board. A microcontroller for processing these measurements is located on the circuit board. System components used to direct and filter the water, such as certain pumps, filters, and so forth, may be included in the housing off of the circuit board. Integrating the sensors and other measuring components onto a circuit board allows for a compact, low-cost water-quality-measuring system that is capable of making very accurate and precise measurements.
