Abstract: This application discloses a cryopump, including a pump housing, a radiation shield in the pump housing, a first-stage cold storage component in the pump housing, a second-stage cold storage component in the holding space of the radiation shield, a connector connecting the first-stage cold storage component and the radiation shield, and a cryopanel assembly in the holding space and connected to the second-stage cold storage component.

Abstract: A high efficiency plasma activation system for large scale treatment of liquid including a liquid tank; a pump having an inlet fluidly connected to an outlet of the liquid tank; a self-suction mechanism having a liquid inlet fluidly connected to an outlet of the pump, an air inlet, and an outlet fluidly connected to an inlet of the liquid tank; and a plasma generator having a plasma discharge nozzle positioned adjacent to the air inlet of the self-suction mechanism and configured to discharge gas phase plasma into the air inlet of the self-suction mechanism and introduce micro/nano bubbles (MNBs) into a flow of liquid to be treated to where the MNBs collapse to agitate and impregnate the liquid with a gas, for highly efficient plasma activation of liquid on a large scale as a green and sustainable technology for disinfection in the food industry and agriculture.

Abstract: A method and system for concentrating an analyte (A). Liquid droplets (D) of an extractant liquid (Le) are adhered to a wall (10w) of a container, e.g. capillary tube. A sample fluid (Fs) comprising the analyte (A) is provided in the container (10) to contact the liquid droplets (D). The analyte (A) has a higher solubility in the liquid droplets (D) than in the sample fluid (Fs). This causes the analyte (A) to be extracted from the sample fluid (Fs) and concentrated in the liquid droplets (D). After extraction, the liquid droplets (D) are collected, e.g. scraped, from the wall (10w) for obtaining the concentrated analyte (A). A concentrated liquid (La) can be formed by collecting the liquid droplets (D) from the wall (10w). The analyte (A) can be measured in the concentrated liquid (La) using any suitable measurement technique.

Abstract: A motor component, a motor and a motor vehicle are disclosed. The motor component has a body extending along a rotation axis of the motor, the body being formed by a set of laminations, and an axially extending cavity being provided on the body; and wherein at least one elongated lamination-holding component is provided in the body, and the lamination-holding component is inserted into the axially extending cavity and is coupled to the body inside the axially extending cavity.

Abstract: Provided herein is a transgenic plant having increased expression of a coding region encoding a resistance protein, where the transgenic plant has increased resistance to infection by Leptosphaeria maculans. In one embodiment, the transgenic plant is B. napus, B. oleraceae, B. rapa, or B. juncea. Also provided are methods of increasing resistance of a member of the genus Brassica to infection by Leptosphaeria maculans, methods of making a transgenic plant with increased resistance to Leptosphaeria maculans, and methods of producing food, feed, or an industrial product using a transgenic plant.
