Patent number: 11142291Abstract: This invention provides a floating platform with canted columns, and a new method of mooring line makeup and installation method that can be used for the canted columns. In one embodiment, the platform includes 3 columns having upper ends projecting above water surface. The columns are canted or inclined inward from the corner of hull toward the top of column. The 3 columns converge at the top of column such that each column will lean against the other 2 columns. Each column connects to the other 2 columns. Horizontally disposed pontoons interconnect adjacent columns at the lower ends. The columns and pontoons form a closed structure hull to support a foundation structure directly above the top of column.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2020Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: ARGUS MARINE SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: Zhiyong Yang, Tingting Li, Nan Feng, Yumin Yang

Patent number: 11110202Abstract: A differential tissue-engineered nerve including motor-like nerves and sensory-like nerves. The motor-like nerve and the sensory-like nerve respectively includes a motor-like nerve outer tube and a motor-like nerve fiber in the outer tube as well as a sensory-like nerve outer tube and a sensory-like nerve fiber in the outer tube. Schwann cells and/or fibroblasts derived from motor nerves and sensory nerves are respectively contained in surfaces or pores of the motor-like and sensory-like nerve outer tubes. Transsynaptic signal molecules Neuroligin-1 and Neuroligin-2 are contained in surfaces or pores of the motor-like and sensory-like nerve fibers. Neuroligin-1 is selectively used to specifically promote synaptic remodeling of motor neurons, while Neuroligin-2 is selectively used to specifically promote synaptic remodeling of sensory neurons, so that repair efficiency of motor nerve cells and sensory nerve cells is improved.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: NANTONG UNIVERSITYInventors: Xin Tang, Cheng Sun, Gang Chen, Xiaosong Gu, Yumin Yang, Fei Ding, Yanpei Gong, Qianru He, Hongkui Wang, Mi Shen

Patent number: 10766578Abstract: We have invented a floating platform with 3 canted columns, a new type of fairlead, and a new method of mooring line makeup and installation method, that can be used for canted columns. The platform includes 3 columns having upper ends projecting above water surface. The columns are canted or inclined inward from the corner of hull toward the central vertical axis. The 3 columns converge at the top of column such that each column will lean against the other 2 columns. Each column has two connection points to the other 2 columns. Horizontally disposed pontoons interconnect adjacent columns at the lower ends. The columns and pontoons form a closed structure hull to support a foundation structure directly above the top of column.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2019Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Argus Marine Solutions, LLCInventors: Tingting Li, Nan Feng, Yumin Yang

Patent number: 10639399Abstract: Provided is a use of one or more MicroRNA genes selected from miRNAs of Family Let-7, miR-21 or miR-222 in the construction of tissue engineered nerves and in the repair of peripheral nerve defects. An outer and/or internal surface or pores of a tissue engineered nerve graft are coated or adsorbed with polymeric nanomicrospheres carrying a Let-7 family miRNA inhibitor, miR-21, or miR-222, or a mimetic thereof, wherein the polymeric material is composed of biocompatible fibronectin and heparin. The regeneration of peripheral nerves and the construction of tissue engineered nerves are promoted by regulating the expression of MicroRNA genes which can effectively promote the proliferation of primary Schwann cells cultured in vitro and have an anti-apoptotic effect on neuronal cells. In-vivo test proves that bridging of the tissue engineered nerve graft can facilitate the regeneration of peripheral nerves, thus being useful in the treatment of peripheral nerve injury.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: NANTONG UNIVERSITYInventors: Xiaosong Gu, Fei Ding, Xin Tang, Yumin Yang, Bin Yu, Shiying Li, Songlin Zhou, Luzhong Zhang, Yaxian Wang, Yun Gu, Hualin Sun
