Intravascular lithotripsy successfully open recurrent in-stent chronic occlusion lesion combined with circular calcification

Coronary artery calcification is common in eld-erly,diabetic,and dialysis-dependent patie-nts,poses a great challenge to interventional therapy and significantly increases the risk of complica-tions and poor prognosis.[1]Traditional rotational ath-erectomy and excimer laser coronary atherectomy are bo-th special treatment techniques for severely calcified le-sions,but they are difficult to use in clinical practice due to complicated operations.Intravascular lithotripsy(IVL)is a new way of treating calcified lesion.

A proposed NMR solution for multi-phase flow fluid detection

In the petroleum industry,detection of multi-phase fluid flow is very important in both surface and down-hole measurements.Accurate measurement of high rate of water or gas multi-phase flow has always been an academic and industrial focus.NMR is an efficient and accurate technique for the detection of fluids;it is widely used in the determination of fluid compositions and properties.This paper is aimed to quantitatively detect multi-phase flow in oil and gas wells and pipelines and to propose an innovative method for online nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)detection.The online NMR data acquisition,processing and interpretation methods are proposed to fill the blank of traditional methods.A full-bore straight tube design without pressure drop,a Halbach magnet structure design with zero magnetic leakage outside the probe,a separate antenna structure design without flowing effects on NMR measurement and automatic control technology will achieve unattended operation.Through the innovation of this work,the application of NMR for the real-time and quantitative detection of multi-phase flow in oil and gas wells and pipelines can be implemented.

Multi-timescale Collaborative Optimization of Distribution, Distributed Generation and Load in Microgrid

The distribution loads, output of distributed generations (DGs) and dynamic power price present obvious time-sequence property, the typical property is studied in this paper. The model of microgrid (including adjustable load, DGs, storage and dynamic power price) is studied. A multi-timescale collaborative optimization model is built towards microgrid;main measures in different timescale optimization are realized. An improved adaptive genetic algorithm is used to solve the optimization problem, which improved the efficiency and reliability. The proposed optimization model is simulated in IEEE 33 node system;the results show it’s effective.

Anti-self-discharge ultrathin all-inorganic electrochromic asymmetric supercapacitors enabling intelligent and effective energy storage

Electrochromic asymmetric supercapacitors(EASs), incorporating electrochromic and energy storage into one platform, are extremely desirable for next-generation civilian portable and smart electronic devices. However, the crucial challenge of their fast self-discharge rate is often overlooked, although it plays an important role in practical application. Unfortunately, very limited research on EAS has focused on this critical problem. Here, an ultrathin all-inorganic EAS with excellent anti-self-discharge performance and superior electrochromic behavior is designed and manufactured by introducing a thin nanofunctional layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface. The prototype all-inorganic EAS exhibited a wide working voltage of 2.2 V, a high energy/power density(81.2mWh·cm^(-3)/0.688 W·cm^(-3)and 30.6 mWh·cm^(-3)/11.02W·cm^(-3)), along with outstanding electrochemical and electrochromic performance even at high temperatures.Remarkably, the introduced Ta2O5layer can efficiently prohibit the redistribution and diffusion of the movable ions at the fully charged state, endowing the all-inorganic EAS with a tardy self-discharge rate of 12.6 mV·g^(-1),which is an extremely low value when compared with previous reported research. Significantly, the ultrathin allinorganic EASs could also well maintain a slow self-discharge rate and their original electrochemical characteristics under various environmental temperatures. We envision that the novel strategy of electrode/electrolyte interface engineering can effectively deal with the severe self-discharge challenge of EAS, and provide more opportunities for their practical applications.
