Patents by Inventor Xiangzhou XU

Xiangzhou XU has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11952734
    Abstract: The invention belongs to ecological revetments in the technical field of river ecology, which particularly involves an ecological revetment to regulate wandering rivers. The ecological revetment is composed of porous concrete-piles, ecological connecting-plates, an ecological viewing-corridor and a slope green-belt. The ecological landscape-corridor and anchor rod are placed on the upper and middle parts of the pile structure, respectively. In virtue of the innovative structure, the ecological revetment will strengthen the revetment structure, reduce the revetment settlement, prevent the revetment from moving, and enhance the overall stability of the revetment project. The ecological holes exist on the ecological connecting-plates, which is beneficial to the exchange of material and energy from the river course and the bank slope, and the holes could greatly enhance the self-cleaning capacity of the water body.

  • Patent number: 10801838
    Abstract: An instrument for dynamically observing the evolution behavior of the slope topography. The dual hosts emit parallel, equal-height and overlapped laser planes from different directions, and project the laser planes onto a slope landform. The image acquisition device shoots the slope landform with the projected laser lines at an angle perpendicular to the laser-planes. Then a video screenshot can be formed and imported into a computer to form a three-dimensional map. Finally, the volume, slope gradient and other parameters of the slope body can be obtained. As the knobs on the mechanically micro-adjustable host of the topography meter are turned, the laser-planes can become precisely equidistant and parallel. A novel topography meter is disclosed, which can conveniently calibrate the spacing and angle of the linear lasers and accurately observe all landforms including the local deep trenches on an eroding slope.

  • Patent number: 10795052
    Abstract: The invention belongs to the field studying the devices for soil and water conservation. The invention involves a topography-meter host based on integrative mainboards, which dynamically observe the landform in real-time and three-dimensions. The linear laser sources are accurately positioned with Ohm-shaped clamps, so as to emit parallel and equidistant laser-planes projecting onto a terrain in an experiment. The positions of the laser-sources on the mainboards are fixed with the Ohm-shaped clamps. The clamps do not only realize the convenient adjustment of the emission angle and spacing distance of the adjacent laser-sources, but also ensure a high accuracy of the positions and angles of the laser-sources even if the topography-meter host is moved. Several multi-segmented cases are freely spliced to observe the landforms with different heights in real-time.
