摘要:
An acoustophoresis device which includes a substantially vertical flow path of the fluid mixture in order to improve separation of particles/secondary fluid from a primary fluid is disclosed. The vertical flow path reduces velocity non-uniformities in the acoustic chamber resulting from gravity forces. The device includes an acoustic chamber in which multidimensional acoustic standing waves are generated. The fluid can be introduced into the acoustic chamber using a dump diffuser in which a plurality of inlets enter near the bottom of the acoustic chamber such that flow symmetry reduces both, gravity driven flow non-uniformities, and any flow interference effects between inlet mixture flow into the acoustic chamber and the continuous gravity driven particle cluster drop out.

A disposable bioreactor system includes a bag having a first end and a second end. An acoustophoresis device is disposed at the first end of the bag, and is separable from the bag. An actuating mechanism is operably connected to the second end of the bag. The actuating mechanism is configured to move the second end of the bag towards the acoustophoresis device, so that fluids within the volume of the bag flow past the acoustophoresis device and carry desired biomolecules out of the bag for collection, while cells and other debris remain within the bag for disposal.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for desalination of salt water based on an engineered acoustic field that causes constructive and destructive interference at pre-computed spatial positions. The engineered acoustic field can cause high-pressure and low-pressure regions where desalination membranes are located. The induced pressure from the acoustic field can force pure water through the membranes leaving ionic and dissolved molecular species behind.

A flow chamber is provided through which is flowed a mixture of a fluid and a particulate. The flow chamber comprises at least one multi-phase water inlet through which multi-phase water enters the flow chamber, a water outlet through which water exits the flow chamber, a solids outlet through which particles having a density at or above a pre-defined threshold exit the flow chamber, and a low density outlet through which particles having a density below the pre-defined threshold exit the flow chamber. Also provided are one or more ultrasonic transducers and one or more reflectors corresponding to each transducer to acoustically filter the fluid and cause particles/fluid to be selectively diverted to one of the outlets. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

A communication system (2000) is disclosed. One embodiment includes at least two functional blocks, wherein a first functional block (1002) communicates with a second functional block (1008) by establishing a connection, wherein the connection is a logical state in which data may pass between the first functional block (1002) and the second functional block (1008). Another embodiment includes a bus coupled to each of the functional blocks and configured to carry a plurality of signals. The plurality of signals includes a connection identifier that indicates a particular connection that a data transfer is part of, and a thread identifier that indicates a transaction stream that the data transfer is part of.

摘要:
A method, apparatus, and system are described, which generally relate to an interconnect routing transactions to target IP cores, including two or more channels making up a first aggregate target. The two or more channels populate an address space assigned to the first aggregate target and appear as a single target to the initiator IP cores. The interconnect implements chopping logic to chop an individual transaction from a first initiator IP core whose address sequence crosses a channel address boundary from a first channel to a second channel within the first aggregate target into two or more burst transactions. A first chopped burst transaction is chopped to fit within the address boundaries of the first channel and a second chopped burst transaction is chopped to fit within the address boundaries of the second channel.
