Latest Patents

- Calculation Method for Measuring Flatness of Cross-Section of Tunnel Segment Based on Spatial Point-to-Plane Relation. This method uses laser displacement sensors mounted on a tunnel boring machine’s thrust-cylinder assembly plane to measure points on a tunnel segment ring. It relates the measured points to corresponding base points and a rear shield axis vector to calculate the segment’s cross-sectional flatness.

- Copolymer of Phase Change Material for Thermal Management of PV Modules. This invention describes solid-solid phase change materials designed for photovoltaic modules. The materials use a polyolefin backbone with crystallizable side chains, with poly(ethylene-co-glycidyl methacrylate) and polyethylene glycol identified as a preferred combination. The patent also covers photovoltaic modules and backsheets incorporating these materials.
