Method and composition for treating or preventing a respiratory illness. The method includes administering at least one dose of a pharmaceutically acceptable fluid having a pH less than 3.0 into contact with at least one region of the respiratory tract present in a patient in need thereof. Respiratory illness that can be treated include COVID-19.

Therapeutic material with low pH and low toxicity active against at least one pathogen for addressing patients with respiratory illnesses

Methods and systems for smart transfer switch circuits and operation, and for operation of transfer and/or cutoff switches in combination with a power-packet-switching-architecture (PPSA) power converter. The transistors of the transfer and cutoff switches, and the transistors of the phase legs of the PPSA power converter if present, preferably all use double-base bipolar transistors which have low on-state series resistance as the switching elements.

Smart transfer switch devices, systems, and methods using double-base bipolar transistors

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles where a multiport power-packet-switching converter provides fully bidirectional power transfer among any of an engine motor, a drive motor, a vehicle battery and/or supercapacitor, and a connection to grid.

Bidirectional power converters with electric vehicle chargers

Methods and systems for bi-directional multi-port power conversion systems and applications are disclosed. In some sample embodiments, current-modulating power converters can be used to provide conversion between synchronous and asynchronous power. In some sample embodiments, current-modulating power converters can perform power conversion can be performed to and from three-phase AC with an active neutral line. In some sample embodiments, current-modulating power converters can convert between synchronous and asynchronous power and also support three-phase AC with active neutral.

Bi-directional multi-port applications

Devices, systems and methods for operating, monitoring and diagnosing photovoltaic arrays used for solar energy collection. The system preferably includes capabilities for monitoring or diagnosing an array, under some circumstances, by using a bidirectional power converter not only to convert the DC output of the array to output power under some conditions, but also, for diagnostic operations, applying a back-converted DC voltage to the array.

Photovoltaic array systems, methods, and devices with bidirectional converter

Devices, systems and methods for operating, monitoring and diagnosing photovoltaic arrays used for solar energy collection. The system preferably includes capabilities for monitoring or diagnosing an array by automatically disconnecting portions of the array during normal service (when load is not maximum, and observing the resulting change in electrical characteristics. More intensive diagnostic procedures can be launched if needed. One embodiment provides for performing monitoring or diagnostic operations on the array in daylight or at night. Another embodiment allows monitoring or diagnostic operations to be performed on a portion of the array while other parts of the array continue to collect energy. Yet another embodiment provides a safety mode for an array for maintenance or during emergencies.
