Title: Innovations by Wanglong Zhou in Medical Detection Technologies
Introduction
Wanglong Zhou is an accomplished inventor based in Reading, MA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of medical detection technologies, holding 2 patents that focus on innovative methods for diagnosing infectious diseases and monitoring female fertility.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an "Apparatus and method for infectious disease detection." This invention outlines a process for detecting HIV infection, Hepatitis A, B, and C, as well as other similar infections in a plasma sample. The method utilizes an excitation laser source to irradiate the plasma sample, generating a fluorescence emission spectrum. The detection process involves analyzing the spectrum and comparing it with a control sample that is free from infection. This invention is particularly noteworthy as it can detect HIV infection at stages when conventional diagnostic methods may fail.
Another significant patent by Zhou is the "Apparatus and method for monitoring ovulation." This quantitative process involves directing a laser beam onto a slide containing an air-dried sample of female body fluid. The resulting diffraction pattern is detected by a two-dimensional photo diode array and analyzed by a microprocessor. The algorithm programmed into the microprocessor produces a quantitative index of ferning, which indicates the level of fertility. This method enhances the reliability of fertility monitoring by measuring multiple spots on the sample.
