  • Patent number: 11969891
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a 4D printed gripper with flexible finger joints and a trajectory tracking control method thereof. The 4D printed gripper with flexible finger joints includes: a palm unit and five finger units connected to the palm unit, where each finger unit includes two flexible finger joints and two phalanges; each flexible finger joint is divided into one upper layer and one lower layer of liquid crystal elastomer (LCE), and each LCE is used to implement a bidirectional bending movement of the finger unit. The present disclosure can precisely control the gripper with flexible finger joints.

  • Patent number: 9045764
    Abstract: Transgenic lignocellulosic plants are provided according to embodiments of the present invention, the transgenic plants transformed with an expression cassette encoding a protein operably linked to a signal peptide which targets the protein to a cell wall of the transgenic plant, where at least 5% of the total amino acid residues of the protein are tyrosine, lysine, serine, threonine or cysteine. Methods of increasing lignin-protein bonds in a lignocellulosic plant are provided according to embodiments of the present invention which include expressing a recombinant nucleic acid in a lignocellulosic plant, the recombinant nucleic acid encoding a protein operably linked to a signal peptide which targets the protein to the cell wall of a plant, where at least 5% of the total amino acid residues of the protein are tyrosine, lysine, serine, threonine or cysteine.
