Publication number: 20240027582Abstract: Disclosed by the present application are an array coherent ranging chip and a system thereof. The chip includes a modulated light source unit (101), an on-chip emission unit (102) and a reception array (103). The modulated light source unit (101) is used for generating a modulated light beam and splitting the modulated light beam into signal light and reference light, and then outputting the signal light and the reference light. The on-chip emission unit (102) is used for irradiating the signal light onto a target object at a preset divergence angle so as to have the signal light reflected to form multi-angle signal light. The reception array (103) is used for receiving the reference light and the multi-angle signal light and respectively performing conversion and detection on both the reference light and the signal light of each angle so as to obtain a plurality of ranging signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2020Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Jingwei LIU, Chengcai TIAN, Wenling LI

Patent number: 10640674Abstract: Autonomous detection of damage in a polymer coating is described by utilizing microcapsules in a polymer coating having free and/or residual amines. The microcapsules contain a color indicator, such as 2?,7?-dichlorofluorescein (DCF), bromophenol blue (BPB) or fluorescamine, which is reactive with the free and/or residual amines present in the polymer coating. For coatings without the presence of free and/or residual amines, a color indicator microcapsule can be combined with a second type of microcapsule filled with a base. When sufficient damage is inflicted to the coating, the microcapsules in and/or around an area of the damage will rupture, and the color indicator will react with the free and/or residual amines or the base to autonomically indicate the area in which the coating has been damaged.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2019Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of IllinoisInventors: Nancy R.

Patent number: 10139389Abstract: An autonomic self-indicating material is provided, the material comprising a polymer composition or a composite material embedded with a microcapsule or a vascular structure comprising an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen. Upon mechanical damage to the material, the luminogen is released and aggregates, leading to fluorescence.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2016Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of IllinoisInventors: Jeffrey S. Moore, Scott R. White, Nancy R. Sottos, Wenle Li, Christopher Coleman Matthews, Maxwell J. Robb

Publication number: 20130253238Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing lubricating base oil with a low cloud point and a high viscosity index. In the method, a lubricating base oil with a low pour point, a low cloud point and a high viscosity index is produced by a hydrorefining-isomerization/asymmetrical cracking-hydrofinishing in the presence of hydrogen, wherein a highly waxy heavy fraction oil having an initial boiling point of 300° C. to 460° C., a wax content of 5% or more, a pour point of ?20° C. or more and a cloud point of ?5° C. or more is used as a raw material, and naphtha and middle fraction oil being co-produced. The method is characterized mainly in the high yield of heavy base oil, a low pour point and cloud point, a high viscosity and viscosity index of the base oil.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2011Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicants: Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), PetroChina Company LimitedInventors: Sheng Hu, Zhijian Tian, Lijun Yan, Wenle Li, Yunpeng Xu, Kebin Chi, Xiangbin Meng, Bingchun Wang, Mingwei Tan, Lei Wang, Yanfeng Liu, Jinling Zhu, Shanbin Gao
