  • Publication number: 20230397901
    Abstract: An ultrasound patch may conform to a curved surface of a large, curvilinear part of a human body, and may capture ultrasound images of underlying tissue for detection of disease. The patch may comprise a flexible, elastomeric substrate, in which phased arrays of piezoelectric ultrasound transducers are embedded. The phased arrays may steer ultrasound beams through a wide angle to image a large volume of tissue. Mechanical deformation of the flexible substrate as it conforms to a curvilinear body part may change the relative 3D positions of the phase arrays. However, localization may be performed to detect these 3D positions. Data captured by the phased arrays may be processed, to create an ultrasound image of the underlying tissue. A semi-flexible, intermediate layer may partially encapsulate each phased array, to distribute stress at an interface between the rigid phased array and more flexible substrate.

  • Patent number: 11835071
    Abstract: A dynamic system for a lifting apparatus is disclosed. The dynamic system includes a first motor and a second motor decoupled from the first motor. During the ascent of the lifting apparatus, only the first motor is involved in the driving of the lifting apparatus. During the descent of the lifting apparatus, only the second motor is involved in charging the battery system. Since the first motor and the second motor are decoupled from each other, the first motor can have a high driving efficiency and the second motor can have a high power generation efficiency, the problem that when only one motor is adopted, the motor needs to balance between the driving efficiency and power generation efficiency is solved. The energy recovery rate of this invention can be increased from 10% in the prior art to about 30%.

  • Patent number: 11834336
    Abstract: Proposed is a method of preparing an independent free-standing graphene film. The graphene film is obtained by means of suction filtration of graphene oxide into a film, solid phase transfer, chemical reduction and the like steps. The graphene film is formed by means of physical cross-linking of a single layer of oxidized/reduced graphene oxide. The graphene film has a thickness of 10-2000 atomic layers. The graphene oxide film has a small thickness and a large number of defects inside, so that it has good transparency and excellent flexibility. On the basis of the transfer film-forming method above, an independent free-standing wrinkled graphene film having a nanoscale thickness is prepared by using a poor solvent and a special high temperature annealing process, and an independent free-standing foamed graphene film having a nanoscale thickness is obtained by using a film-forming thickness and a special high temperature annealing process.
