Patent published on the 2026-05-07 in WO under Ref WO2026096197 by FELICIANO RAFAEL [US] (Feliciano Rafael [us], Charraud Gregoire [us], Hong Juwan [us])
Abstract: A method of prolonging the life of a peristaltic pump, including setting a timer for a predetermined rest time after the peristaltic pump is used, transmitting a micro pulse to a motor of the peristaltic pump after the predetermined rest time has elapsed, and shifting a motor roller from an initial position to a second position so that a pinch point of a tube of the peristaltic pump is formed in the second position. Further, a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions [...]
Our summary: The method extends the lifespan of peristaltic pumps by implementing a timer for rest periods. It involves sending a micro pulse to the pump s motor after the rest time. Additionally, the motor roller is shifted to create a new pinch point in the tube.

ReaxFF molecular dynamics investigation of co-combustion between Zhundong coal and lignin
Published on 2026-02-25 by @OXFORD
Abstract: AbstractCo-combustion of coal and biomass offers a promising solution to reduce fossil fuel dependency. This study employs reactive force-field molecular dynamics (ReaxFF MD) to investigate the microscopic effects of temperature and mixing ratio on Zhundong coal–lignin co-combustion. Elevated temperatures significantly enhance the conversion from large molecules to smaller gaseous products (CO2, H2O), suppressing tar formation. Higher coal ratios (3:1, 2:1) favor reduced tar yield and increase[...]
Our summary: This study uses ReaxFF molecular dynamics to analyze the co-combustion of Zhundong coal and lignin. Elevated temperatures and higher coal ratios improve gaseous product yields while reducing tar formation. Reaction pathways indicate distinct contributions from coal oxidation, lignin pyrolysis, and the behavior of nitrogen and sulfur during combustion.
