Abstract: A damping device with a fixing structure includes a housing and a valve stem which extends through the housing. The inner housing plate is disposed in the housing, and the inner housing plate separates a space in the housing to be a first housing chamber and a second housing chamber which are independent and communicated with each other. An end of the valve stem is in sliding and sealing fit with the first housing chamber, and the valve stem separates the first housing chamber to be two independent sub-chambers with variable volumes. A plunger rod is directly or indirectly slidably sealed on the plug hole. The powerhead assembly is configured to drive the plunger rod to move. The housing is separated to be two chambers The plunger rod is moved to communicate or block the damping liquid, which realizes two functions of damping and supporting.

Abstract: A supporting and fixing structure and a photovoltaic tracking and mounting system. The supporting and fixing structure includes a main support rod, a mounting rod, a rotary power device and a plurality of auxiliary support rods. The mounting rod is rotatably mounted on the main support rod through the rotary power device. The auxiliary support rods are rotatably matched with the mounting rod. The auxiliary support rod is configured to support the mounting rod. It further includes a valve stem, a housing, an inner housing plate and a plunger rod. The inner housing plate is disposed in the housing, and separates a space in the housing to be two chambers. The plunger rod is movably installed on a housing wall of the housing, and is configured for blocking or communicating the first housing chamber. The valve stem is in sliding and sealing fit with the second housing chamber.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for capturing target cells or molecules in solution, comprising steps of: (I) getting medium containing said target cells or molecules into an apparatus comprising a capturing device for capturing said target cells or molecules; (II) getting said medium flow through said capturing device; (III) removing unbound debris, cells and molecules; (IV) getting said target cells or molecules detached from the capturing device; and (V) collecting said target cells or molecules; wherein said capturing device comprises at least one functionalized mesh comprising a mesh substrate and a functional layer formed on said mesh substrate, wherein said functional layer comprises capturing substances that can specifically bind with said target cells or molecules. The method has high specificity, as well as high throughput, and is suitable for capturing cells or molecules in a solution or expressed at the surface of cell membranes. It is particularly suited to capture and sort circulating tumor cells.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for enriching and screening a target object such as a cell, bacteria or biomolecule from a sample, comprising a plurality of multi-channel mesh bodies arranged in parallel, each multi-channel mesh body comprising a mesh body formed by intersecting a plurality of threads, a plurality of screen pores formed by intersecting the plurality of threads, and a capturing layer formed on the mesh body. The capturing layer comprises a capturing material specifically binding with the target object, and the screen pores of two adjacent layers of multi-channel mesh bodies are partially staggered. The present invention improves the capture rate of the target object in the case of ensuring high flux.

Abstract: Disclosed are a functionalized mesh and fluidic apparatus for capturing cells or molecules in solution. The functionalized mesh comprises a mesh substrate and a functional layer formed on said mesh substrate, wherein the functional layer comprises capturing substances that can specifically bind with the target cells or molecules. The mesh and apparatus of the invention have high specificity, as well as high throughput, and are suitable for capturing molecules in solution or expressed at the surface of cell membranes. It is particularly suited to capture and sort circulating tumor cells.

Abstract: A nested capsule having a first capsule held within a second capsule. Each of the first and second capsules has a shell that is a supramolecular cross-linked network, such as a cucurbituril supramolecular cross-linked network. Each capsule shell is obtained or is obtainable from the complexation of a composition including a host, such as cucurbituril, and one or more building blocks having suitable guest functionality for the host, thereby to form a supramolecular cross-linked network. The nested capsules are suitable for delivering and selectively releasing an encapsulant at a location.
