摘要:
Disclosed are devices and methods of electronic devices for activating an alarm when it is detected that an applied charging voltage has dropped below a threshold value. An electronic device is configured to detect the type of charger, for example, a bicycle charger or motorcycle charger, connected to the electronic device according to a charger attribute. The electronic device may further detect when the applied charging voltage has decreased below the predetermined threshold value. When the device is detected to be connected to a particular type of charger, and it is detected that the applied charging voltage has decreased below the threshold value, the alarm may be activated after a predetermined time. In this way, a user of a bicycle charger or other vehicle charger can be reminded to remove the electronic device from the charging cradle of the vehicle, helping to avoid loss or theft of the device.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to methods of preparing linear polymers such as polyalkylene oxides containing a terminal amine in high purity. One preferred method includes reacting a polyalkylene oxide such as polyethylene glycol containing a terminal azide with a phosphine-based reducing agent such as triphenylphosphine or an alkali metal borohydride reducing agent such as sodium borohydride in a solvent to reflux. The resultant polymer-amines are of sufficient purity so that expensive and time consuming purification steps required for pharmaceutical grade polymers are avoided.

The present invention is directed to methods of preparing linear polymers such as polyalkylene oxides containing a terminal amine in high purity. One preferred method includes reacting a polyalkylene oxide such as polyethylene glycol containing a terminal tosylate with a protected amine salt to form a polymer containing a terminal protected amine and thereafter deprotecting the polymer containing the terminal protected amine to form the polymer having a terminal amine. The resultant polymer-amines are of sufficient purity so that expensive and time consuming purification steps required for pharmaceutical grade polymers are avoided.
摘要:
A non-linear dynamic predictive device (60) is disclosed which operates either in a configuration mode or in one of three runtime modes: prediction mode, horizon mode, or reverse horizon mode. An external device controller (50) sets the mode and determines the data source and the frequency of data. In the forward modes (prediction and horizon), the data are passed to a series of preprocessing units (20) which convert each input variable (18) from engineering units to normalized units. Each preprocessing unit feeds a delay unit (22) that time-aligns the input to take into account dead time effects. The output of each delay unit is passed to a dynamic filter unit (24). Each dynamic filter unit internally utilizes one or more feedback paths that provide representations of the dynamic information in the process. The outputs (28) of the dynamic filter units are passed to a non-linear approximator (26) which outputs a value in normalized units. The output of the approximator is passed to a post-processing unit (32) that converts the output to engineering units. This output represents a prediction of the output of the modeled process. In reverse horizon mode, data is passed through the device in a reverse flow to produce a set of outputs (64) at the input of the predictive device. These are returned to the device controller through path (66). The purpose of the reverse horizon mode is to provide information for process control and optimization. The predictive device approximates a large class of non-linear dynamic processes. The structure of the predictive device allows it to be incorporated into a practical multivariable non-linear Model Predictive Control scheme, or used to estimate process properties.

Methods of preparing amino acid-substituted taxanes such as: using selected blocked amino acids are disclosed. After coupling of the blocked amino acid to the taxane, deprotection is carried out with about an equimolar amount of a secondary amine thus substantially avoiding base-catalyzed hydrolysis of amino acid from the taxane. The preferred amino acid-taxanes are useful as intermediates in the production of polymer conjugated therapeutic compositions or as part of pharmaceutically acceptable formulations.

A method for preparing a silicon monoxide composite material includes: a first stage: introducing a protective gas into a vapor deposition oven, and pre-heating a silicon monoxide raw material, such that a part of the silicon monoxide raw material is subjected to a disproportionation reaction; a second stage: continuously introducing the protective gas and introducing a carbon source gas, and subjecting the pre-heated silicon monoxide raw material to a chemical vapor deposition to form carbon nanotubes on a surface of silicon monoxide; and a third stage: after a predetermined time period, stopping introducing the carbon source gas, and stopping introducing the protective gas until the vapor deposition oven is cooled to room temperature, to prepare the silicon monoxide composite material. During the preparation process, no extra catalyst needs to be added, a product of the previous disproportionation reaction may act as a catalyst for the growth of the carbon nanotubes.
