Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Xu: “Intelligent Concrete, Self-Sensing Method for Intelligent Concrete, Equipment and Storage Media.” The invention embeds long-distance, large-capacity, multiparameter optical-fiber sensing cables in concrete. A grating sensing network acts like a neural network, enabling broad monitoring of external conditions and the concrete’s internal health. The approach is intended for applications such as highways, airports, and bridges. Because the sensing cables have no probes, they are less prone to damage during use. The use of multiparameter cables also increases the range of measurements and can improve monitoring accuracy. Xu is credited with 1 patent in the information provided.
