  • Patent number: 11346763
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses an apparatus and a method for microbial cell counting, and belongs to the field of cell counting. In the present application, by converting a traditional automated intermittent counting process into a continuous counting process, the cell sap fixed in a blood cell plate in a traditional counter becomes the cell sap flowing in a microchannel, so as to prolong the cell detection time and distance. The size of the microchannel is slightly greater than the diameter of microbial cells, so as to ensure that the cells flow through the cross section of the microchannel one by one. At the same time, since the diameter of the counterbores communicated by the microchannel is slightly greater than the width of the microchannel, the flow rate of the cell sap slows down when the cell sap flows to the counterbores.

  • Patent number: 10739758
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a model-free online recursive optimization method for a batch process based on variable period decomposition. Variable operation data closely related to product quality is acquired, optimization action on each subset is integrated on the basis of time domain variable division on the process by utilizing a data driving method and a global optimization strategy is formed, based on which an online recursive error correction optimization strategy is implemented. According to the method, the online optimization strategy is formed completely based on the operation data of the batch process without needing prior knowledge or a model of a process mechanism. Meanwhile, the optimized operation locus line has better adaptability by using the online recursive correction strategy, and thus the anti-interference requirement of the actual industrial production is better met.
