A multifunctional membrane is provided. The multifunctional membrane is suitable for use in an analyte sensor. In a particular application, the multifunctional membrane may be used in connection with an amperometric biosensor, such as a transcutaneous amperometric biosensor. Some functions of the membrane are associated with properties of membrane itself, which is comprised of crosslinked polymers containing heterocyclic nitrogen groups. For example, the membrane, by virtue of its polymeric composition, may regulate the flux of an analyte to a sensor. Such regulation generally improves the kinetic performance of the sensor over a broad range of analyte concentration. Other functions of the membrane are associated with functional components, such as a superoxide-dismutating / catalase catalyst, either in the form of an enzyme or an enzyme mimic, that can be bound to the scaffold provided by the membrane. The effect of any such enzyme or enzyme mimic is to lower the concentration of a metabolite, such as superoxide and / or hydrogen peroxide, in the immediate vicinity of the sensing layer of the biosensor. Lowering the concentrations of such metabolites, which are generally deleterious to the function of the sensor, generally protects or enhances biosensor integrity and performance. The membrane is thus an important tool for use in connection with analyte sensors, amperometric sensors, biosensors, and particularly, transcutaneous biosensors. A membrane-covered sensor and a method for making same are also provided.

A control system for at least a pair of motor powered rail vehicles coupled together in a model train railroad includes a controller, a control module installed on each of the at least pair of motor powered rail vehicles, a bi-directional communication between the controller and at least one control module in one of the at least pair of motor powered rail vehicles, a bi-directional communication between the at least pair of control modules, and at least one of the controller and the one of the pair of control modules configured to store in memory full load electrical power value and use the full load electrical power value in adjusting motor load for a respective motor powered rail vehicle. The control system also uses a subsonic motor signal to enhance low speed operation of rail vehicles and a graphical interface within the controller and capability to utilize previously unknown devices.

The present application belongs to fluid control equipment, in particular, relates to directional controlling mechanism of fluidic sprinkler, comprising a rear reversing mechanism, a front reversing mechanism and a signal stream switching mechanism. A limiting shift rod of the rear mechanism rotate around a locating rod as the center after touching a limiting ring, then realize the reversing of the limiting shift rod. The reverse action of the limiting rod will finally lead a reversing arm to rotate by way of driving a reversing locating block, a rear reversing rod and a front reversing rod to rotate. The rear reversing mechanism, the front reversing mechanism and the signal stream switching mechanism act together, so as to switch a left-side signal stream nozzle and a right-side stream nozzle of a fluidic sprinkler, and bring about the reversing of the rotation direction of the fluidic sprinkler. Directional controlling mechanism of fluidic sprinkler is in a stepping state respectively in the clockwise and the counter clockwise working modes, so that the impact force on a rotary body is small, critical components tend to have a longer working life, an intermediate position does not exist during the reversing of the sprinkler, and the switching of the sprinkler is stable and reliable.

The invention relates to a hydrogen-gasoline blended fuel rotary engine and a control method, in particular to the hydrogen-gasoline blended fuel rotary engine and a control device, and belongs to the field of internal combustion engine control. The rotary engine main comprises an electronic control gasoline jetting system, an electronic control hydrogen jetting system, an ignition system and the like. The rotary engine has the advantages that existing electronic control jetting technologies of the internal combustion engine are applied to the rotary engine, and the fuel jetting and control under of the hydrogen-gasoline blended fuel rotary engine different working conditions are improved. In addition, due to the specific physical and chemical properties of hydrogen, the combustion of fuel can be improved, the oil consumption can be reduced, and meanwhile, the discharge of noxious substances can be reduced. The rotary engine and the control method have the advantages that the implementation manner is simple and feasible, the reliability and the stability are high, and the development prospects are good.

The invention provides a water-soluble taxol prodrug as well as a preparation method and a chemical modifier thereof. Polyethylene glycol is used as a carrier and citric acid is used as a connecting arm to prepare a branching-type polyethylene glycol derivative containing a plurality of carboxy groups. The derivative is used for modifying taxol, can greatly improve the taxol carrying capability ofthe polyethylene glycol, and obviously improves the dissolubility of the taxol so that the solubility of the decorated taxol is from 0.1mg / ml to 6.20mg / ml, and the taxol content in the prodrug is from 1 percent to 38 percent. The invention is beneficial to the improvement of medicament performance.
