  • Publication number: 20230060419
    Abstract: A folding wave-energy-harvesting mechanism for an underwater vehicle includes an underwater-vehicle main body and a wave-energy-harvesting-device main body. The wave-energy-harvesting-device main body includes a hydrofoil assembly and a yaw assembly. The first state of the hydrofoil assembly is a folding state, and the second state is an unfolding state. The first state of the yaw assembly is the folding state, and the second state is the unfolding state. The wave-energy-harvesting-device main body further includes a driving assembly and an energy-storage assembly. The driving assembly is configured to switch the hydrofoil assembly and the yaw assembly in the first state and the second state to each other. The energy-storage assembly is configured to store the wave energy harvested by the hydrofoil assembly. When the hydrofoil assembly and the yaw assembly unfold, the hydrofoil assembly increases the efficient area for wave-energy harvesting.

It is represented by the following general structural formula: R1 is halogen, R2 is H, and the halogen is selected from fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine; or R1 and R2 are each fluorine, and R3 is an amine, alcohol, amino acid, peptide or phosphate linked to oxygen through an acyl group. The derivatives are relatively stable in rat whole blood through pharmacokinetic studies. The absolute bioavailability after a single intragastric administration for male and female rats was 15.6% and 28.4% respectively. The mean bioavailability was 22%. The derivatives showed better in vivo activities compared with the existing standard drugs enalapril and sacubitril valsartan sodium.
