Background
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) RNA could be detected in the blood of infected cases. From February 9, all blood establishments in Hubei province, China, implemented nucleic acid testing (NAT) for SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA among blood donors to ensure blood safety.
Study Design and Methods
Nucleic acid test screening individually (ID) or by minipool (MP) testing was performed according to the manufacturerʼs instructions. Inactivated culture supernatant of SARS‐CoV‐2–infected Vero cells was quantified by droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) and series diluted with negative plasma to evaluate the assayʼs performance.
Results
The limit of detection of the kit for MP testing was 62.94 and 33.14 copies/mL for N and ORF1ab region, respectively. ID testing could achieve 3.87 and 4.85 copies/mL for two regions using 1600 μL of plasma. Coefficients of variations of two different concentrations of reference samples were all less than 5% in MP testing. As of April 30, 2020, a total of 98,342 blood donations including 87,095 whole blood donations and 11,247 platelet donations were tested by ID or MP testing, and no RNAemia was found. In addition, Hubei province suffered precipitously decreased blood supply, especially in February: 86% reduction compared with the same period of 2019.
Conclusion
Nucleic acid test screening of SARS‐CoV‐2 on blood donations is suitable in blood establishments using the commercial real‐time PCR detection kit based on available instruments. The negative result indicated that SARS‐CoV‐2 appears to be no direct threat to blood safety but raises some serious issues for general blood supply.
In order to solve the existing high voltage switch gear when the voltage difference method using core phase, due to the different switch gear supporting capacitive sensor indicators are inconsistent, resulting in phase sequence check misjudgment and other issues, this paper uses the phase difference between the two high voltage switch gear method of phase sequence check, this method has the versatility to determine the exact characteristics such as the actual test to fully meet the requirements of high voltage switch gear core phase.
A new miniature linear frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar which mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle is presented. It allows the accomplishment of high resolution synthetic aperture radar imaging in real-time. Only a Kintex-7 field programmable gate array from Xilinx is utilized for whole signal processing of sophisticated radar imaging algorithms. The proposed hardware architecture achieves remarkable improvement in integration, power consumption, volume, and computing performance over its predecessor designs. The realized design is verified by flight campaigns.
This paper states the common stealing electricity types, it is remote control stealing electricity, resistance is strung into watt-hour meter, there is space of stealing electricity, obvious short current coil, interference of high power electric signal and using electricity bypass the metering device at the junction box of the back cover, and corresponding preventive measures are provided for the several stealing electricity methods.
