  • Patent number: 11590260
    Abstract: Methods for treating a bioprosthetic tissue are described herein. The methods comprise contacting the bioprosthetic tissue with at least one nucleophile and/or at least one electrophile in the presence of a catalytic system comprising at least one or a combination of a fluoride-based salt, a cesium-based salt, a potassium-based salt, a rubidium-based salt, or a carbonate-based salt. The methods may be used to alter functional groups on biological tissue which represent actual and potential calcium binding sites and also processes for cross-linking bioprosthetic tissue. Both processes may be used in conjunction with known fixative techniques, such as glutaraldehyde fixation, or may be used to replace known fixative techniques.

    Abstract: A displacement measurement system of heterodyne grating interferometer, comprises a reading head, a measurement grating and an electronic signal processing component. Laser light emitted from the laser tube is collimated, passes through the first polarization spectroscope, and then emits two light beams with an orthogonal polarization direction and an orthogonal propagation direction; the two light beams pass through two acousto-optic modulators and respectively generate two first-order diffraction light beams with different frequencies, which are later divided into reference light and measurement light; two parallel reference light beams form a beat frequency electric signal with positive and negative first-order diffraction measurement light respectively after passing through a measurement signal photo-electric conversion unit; the beat frequency signals are transmitted to the electronic signal processing component for signal processing, thus the output of linear displacement in two directions is realized.
