  • Publication number: 20250061967
    Abstract: This invention relates to the field of genetic molecular breeding, specifically to a pig 10K liquid-phase chip based on multiple single nucleotide-polymorphism and its application. The present invention, while adhering to the basic principles of liquid phase chip design, adds new markers to existing chips and optimizes probes using multiple single nucleotide-polymorphism technology. This results in the generation of more SNP markers with high genotyping quality and moderate linkage disequilibrium with target SNP loci within the probe region, thereby increasing the effective marker count of the chip. The mSNP liquid phase chip of the present invention increases the number of detectable SNPs to 1.5-2 times the number of target SNP markers, addressing the issue of existing chips that only contain target SNPs and cannot provide mSNP markers, without increasing the cost.

  • Publication number: 20250061964
    Abstract: This invention relates to the field of genetic molecular breeding, specifically to a pig 50K liquid-phase chip based on multiple single nucleotide-polymorphism and its application. The probe design of the chip in this invention takes into account the distribution of captured SNP loci across the genome, the polymorphism of the loci, the quality of mSNP markers, and other issues, effectively avoiding problems such as uneven marker density and poor polymorphism. It also considers the quality of mSNP markers and the issue of linkage disequilibrium among mSNP markers. While adhering to the basic principles of liquid-phase chip design, genomic regions with moderate linkage disequilibrium between markers were selected, generating more SNP markers with high genotyping quality and moderate linkage disequilibrium within the probe region with the target loci. The mSNP liquid-phase chip of this invention expands the detectable number of SNPs to 1.

  • Publication number: 20240060159
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a Mg—Al based magnesium alloy, and a preparation method of a tube and an application of the same, and belongs to the technical field of alloy materials. The magnesium alloy includes, by weight percentage, 7.0-8.6% Al, 0.8-2.0% RE, 0.2-0.8% Mn, and a balance of Mg, and the magnesium alloy has an elongation of 15-22%. The preparation method of a tube of the Mg—Al based magnesium alloy includes: mixing and smelting an Al source, a RE source, a Mn source, and a Mg source to give a liquid mixed metal; casting the liquid mixed metal into a bar through semi-continuous casting; performing homogenization heat treatment on the bar at 360-400° C. for 6-10 h; and performing extrusion-forming on the heat-treated bar to obtain a magnesium alloy tube. The Mg—Al based magnesium alloy of the present disclosure has high elongation, and the elongation of the tube formed using the same can reach 15-22%, so that it can withstand large plastic deformation.

  • Patent number: 9416760
    Abstract: A fuel injector includes an injector body that defines a fuel inlet, a drain outlet and a nozzle outlet, and has disposed therein a nozzle chamber, a needle control chamber and a valve chamber. The needle control chamber is fluidly connected to the drain outlet through a drain passage that includes the conical seat, is fluidly connected to the nozzle chamber through a Z orifice, and fluidly connected to the valve chamber through an A orifice. The nozzle chamber is fluidly connected to the valve chamber by a pressure passage that includes an F orifice that opens through a flat seat. A control valve member is trapped to move between contact with conical seat and contact with the flat seat. An electrical actuator is operable to push the control valve member away from the conical seat toward the flat seat when energized. A direct control needle valve has an opening hydraulic surface positioned in the nozzle chamber and a closing hydraulic surface positioned in the needle control chamber.
