Publication number: 20150354956Abstract: The method for the measurement of turbulence by using reciprocating ocean microstructure profiler includes the following procedures: 1) system startup; 2) detection of the profile data of ocean dynamic environment information: a. temperature detection; b. shear detection; c. depth detection; and d. current and temperature & conductivity detection; e. gesture sensing; 3) control of ascending and descending operations of the profiler: a. uprising control; b. redirection operation; and c. sinking control; and 4) sleep mode. The method doesn't consume labor several times and the equipment is capable of providing long-time continuous profile measurement at a fixed area along a steel cable; and the entire system can ascend and descend steadily after hydrodynamic optimized layout, eliminating the measurement errors contributable to water flow fluctuation during detection, thus obtaining accurate ocean microstructure observation in vertical with higher precision.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2014Publication date: December 10, 2015Applicant: OCEAN UNIVERSITY OF CHINAInventors: Jiwei Tian, Wei Zhao, Dalei Song, Qingxuan Yang, Ming Xu

Patent number: 8609408Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the reconstruction of a tissue-engineered human corneal endothelium. Human corneal endothelial cells are cultured in vitro to logarithmic growth phase using 20% calf bovine serum-containing DMEM/F12 medium. Trypsin is used to digest epithelial layer of the freeze-dried human amniotic membrane in order to produce denuded human amniotic membrane as scaffold carriers. The scaffold carriers are tiled on the bottom of culture plate wells until they are dried and completely adhered to the bottom of wells. Human corneal endothelial cells at logarithmic growth phase are re-suspended in DMEM/F12 medium containing type-IV collagen and 20% calf bovine serum. Human corneal endothelial cell suspension is subsequently inoculated to amniotic membrane scaffold carriers that are tiled on the bottom of wells in culture plate to launch in vitro culture as well as in vitro reconstruction of tissue-engineered human corneal endothelium. This invention is scientific and rational.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2010Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Ocean University of ChinaInventors: Tingjun Fan, Jun Zhao, Xiuxia Yang, Rishan Cong

Patent number: 8544415Abstract: The present invention relates to a method in the field of shellfish breeding techniques, for breeding a scallop population that have improved carotenoid content in the orange-red adductor muscles or other muscle tissues. This method includes the steps of selecting the rare individuals that have orange-red adductor muscles from natural scallop populations, growing the selected scallops, inducing the reproduction, artificially fertilization, and finally breeding a scallop population with orange-red adductor muscles which can be expanded for the cultivation on a large scale. Comparing to other known breeding methods, the present method does not use transgenic technologies to include introduce any exogenous genes, thus does not have any bio-safety and ethics issues. All the mutant scallops with orange-red adductor muscles are selected from natural or cultivated populations. After breeding for four generations, the obtained scallops have abundant carotenoid ingredients in their orange-red adductor muscles.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2010Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Ocean University of ChinaInventors: Zhenmin Bao, Shan Wang, Ning Li, Jingjie Hu, Rui Hou, Xiaoliang Ren, Xiaoli Hu, Wei Lu
