Pinching control of peristaltic pumps
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.

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[...]
