  • Publication number: 20240039631
    Abstract: A multi-sensor data fusion-based self-powered online monitoring system for a transmission line includes a plurality of detection nodes, an optical communication receiving and demodulation module, and a data processing module. The detection nodes each include a vibration energy harvesting module, a sensing module, and an optical communication modulation and transmitting module. The detection node uses a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) to convert and harvest energy, uses the sensing module to acquire a plurality of types of sensing data, and uses the optical communication modulation and transmitting module to modulate and transmit the sensing data. The optical communication receiving and demodulation module correspondingly receives and demodulates the sensing data, and transmits the sensing data to the data processing module for processing.

  • Publication number: 20230373936
    Abstract: Disclosed is a lipophilic agent comprising a triazine core having lipophilic groups for organic synthesis. The lipophilic agent soluble in one system of solvent(s) wherein the lipophilic agent is participated in a chemical reaction but insoluble by adding a miscible poor solvent to change solution composition after the reaction completes. The lipophilic agent facilitates process improvement wherein practical operation only involves mixing with reactants in solution followed by precipitating with change of solution composition followed by filtering to obtain the precipitated solid, simplifying the purification by isolating the desired solid. The operation is reproducible along the progress in a multi-step synthesis, allowing pure intermediates and pure product as a solid to be rapidly obtained with ease and certainty. This invention can thus accelerate research and development of pharmaceutical biomolecules, representing a tremendous step forward for boosting productivity and greening chemical industry.

  • Publication number: 20230357763
    Abstract: Morpholino antisense oligos (Morpholinos) are a class of synthetic non-ionic molecules, each designed to very specifically bind to a selected complementary RNA sequence (targeted RNA transcript). Custom-sequence Morpholinos are used in a broad range of biological research areas, as well as for therapeutic applications in vivo (in living animals such as humans). For most in vivo applications the “bare” Morpholino (FIG. 1a) is linked to a cationic delivery component to give a “delivery-enabled” Morpholino (FIG. 1b) with significantly improved delivery efficiency. However, cytosolic delivery was still markedly less than expected. Then recently we discovered that by adding a special disconnect component between the Morpholino component and the cationic delivery component (FIG. 1c), the cytosolic delivery efficiency for the Morpholino was dramatically increased (about a 1,000% increase in delivery efficiency).

  • Publication number: 20220206100
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an analog integrated circuit. Specifically, a pseudo resistor calibration circuit configured for precise adjustment of pseudo-resistor resistance on a circuit. A reference resistor is generated by the switched capacitor correction circuit, and its resistance value is only related to the capacitance value of the switched capacitor and the switching frequency. Using a parallel-to-series circuit design scheme and a voltage integrator to extract the control voltage to control the pseudo resistance, a pseudo resistance which is X*Y*Z times of the reference resistance can be obtained. The resistance of the pseudo-resistor is accurately adjustable so as to achieve good robustness to PVT fluctuations and improved linearity compared to traditional pseudo-resistors.
