  • Publication number: 20240151386
    Abstract: An LED lighting device includes a seat, an optical assembly and a light source. The seat has a baseplate and a sidewall. A chamber is formed between the baseplate and the sidewall. The optical assembly completely covers a light-emitting side of the LED lighting device. The light source is disposed in the chamber of the seat and includes multiple LED arrays. Each LED array includes an LED chip. The optical assembly includes an optical unit. The optical unit includes multiple first optical members and multiple second optical members corresponding to the first optical members. The LED arrays correspond to the first optical members. Each first optical member possesses an effect of light diffusion resulting from its own material property. Each second optical member includes one or more sets of optical walls. Each set of optical walls surrounds one of the first optical members.

  • Patent number: 11971377
    Abstract: The present invention describes a versatile, robust and environmentally controlled platform with a linear temperature gradient for massively parallel chemical or biochemical processing. This apparatus is capable of probing the phase transition behavior of macromolecules in solution, both thermodynamically and kinetically. This includes—but is not limited to—liquid/liquid phase transition behavior of antibody solutions and in situ gelation of thermo-responsive polymers. The device can be operated in a multiplex fashion using a controlled temperature gradient architecture and visualized by dark field microscopy or by other optical intensity measurements.

  • Publication number: 20240135570
    Abstract: A method for improving estimation of leaf area index in an early growth stage of wheat based on red-edge bands of Sentinel-2 satellite images includes the following steps: acquiring field background spectrum and wheat canopy spectrum information by means of Sentinel-2; respectively acquiring a “straw-soil” spectrum and a “wheat-straw-soil” spectrum, and calculating slopes of red-edge areas of the “straw-soil” spectrum and the “wheat-straw-soil” spectrum; calculating a tangent function SATF corrected by a background adjustment coefficient ?; constructing a wheat LAI estimation model based on a spectral variable SATFNIR-RE2; performing preliminary screening on the LAI estimation model using cross validation; and then testing the screened model with independent data.

  • Patent number: 11647737
    Abstract: Provided is a genetically modified non-human mammal that comprises an anchor DNA sequence inserted at an endogenous locus of a secretory milk protein gene, wherein the anchor DNA sequence comprises a site-specific recombinase recognition site. Also provided is a genetically modified non-human mammal that comprises a transgene inserted at an endogenous locus of a secretory milk protein gene, wherein the transgene encodes a secretory protein and is operably linked to the endogenous promoter of said secretory milk protein gene, and wherein the transgene is flanked by a pair of site-specific recombinase resulting sites. The genetically modified non-human mammals provided can be used for producing the secreted recombinant protein encoded by the transgene from the milk produced by the genetically modified non-human mammals.
