  • Patent number: 10766583
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a new bionic lateral-line sensor. The new bionic lateral-line sensor includes a cilia cupule, a cilia base rod, IPMC film sheets, extraction electrodes, and a sensor housing. When external current acts on a free end of the cilia cupule, mechanical deformation is generated on the cilia cupule, and the mechanical deformation is transmitted to the cilia base rod, so as to cause deformation on the cilia base rod; the deformation on the cilia base rod leads to mechanical deformation on the IPMC film sheets, and the IPMC film sheets generate induced voltages by using an IPMC mechano-electric effect; and a flow rate of the external current is calculated according to the acquired induced voltages. The new bionic lateral-line sensor provided in the present invention is used for measurement of external current.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a lymph targeting nuclear magnetic contrast agent using a brown algae polysaccharide as a carrier, and a preparation method and a use thereof. A macromolecular contrast agent with good water solubility was prepared by using the brown algae polysaccharide as the carrier, using mannose or mannose derivatives as a mannose receptor (MBP) recognition group, and using a paramagnetic metal ion chelate as a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging group. The binding capacity of lymphoid tissue was improved. The mannose or mannose derivative group introduced into the synthesized contrast agent molecule achieves the goal of binding to the enriched mannose receptors in the lymphoid tissues.
