Company patents
Guangdong Ocean University
Guangdong Ocean University, despite its name, shows a surprisingly diverse patent portfolio beyond marine-specific technologies, with a strong emerging focus in Gearing & Transmissions, which saw a 300.0% YoY growth in 2026 (so far), and a consistent interest in Industrial Control Systems, growing by 100.0% YoY in 2026. This contrasts with a significant decline in traditional areas like Ships & Marine Vessels and Computer Vision, both experiencing a -100.0% YoY drop in 2026, suggesting a strategic shift away from these domains.

Engineering solutions for the structural design, stability, and motion control of floating or fixed offshore platforms, including those for renewable energy installations.
Materials and structures designed for implantation or tissue regeneration, focusing on properties like biodegradability, mechanical strength, cellular integration, and long-term in-vivo stability.
Synthesis and application of crosslinked polymer networks designed to swell in water, often for medical, sensing, or smart material applications, exhibiting properties like hydrolysis resistance, thermochromism, or radiation protection.
Novel configurations and materials for gears and drivetrain components, including specialized profiles, self-aligning features, damping elements, and complex gear train arrangements like planetary, cycloidal, or strain wave gearing.
Techniques for combining data from disparate sensor types (e.g., cameras, radar, mobile device signals) to achieve a more robust and comprehensive understanding of an environment or subject, often leveraging machine learning for interpretation and correlation.
Systems and methods for real-time assessment of mooring line tension, anchor chain status, and associated risks for floating vessels and offshore structures.
Application of computational methods, including deep learning, to process and interpret marine operational data for improved decision-making, route planning, and safety.
Transmissions designed to provide a continuous range of gear ratios between fixed limits, often employing ball-planetary, toroidal, or belt-pulley mechanisms, and including their control systems for stable operation in various directions.
Design and mechanisms for reconfigurable or adjustable components of a vessel's hull, sponsons, or deck to optimize performance, space, or functionality.
Specialized tools and structures for raising aquatic organisms or for catching fish, including platforms, bait dispensers, and reels.
Techniques for manufacturing thin polymer layers, sheets, or multi-layer structures, often optimized for specific properties such as flexibility, barrier function, filtration, or mechanical strength.
Methods and compositions for identifying, quantifying, or characterizing specific biological molecules (e.g., nucleic acids, proteins, metabolites, antibodies) or microbial species, often for diagnostic, prognostic, or quality control applications.
Systems and methods for real-time sensing, modeling, and closed-loop control of additive manufacturing parameters to ensure part quality, consistency, and process efficiency. This includes thermal management, atmospheric regulation, and precise material deposition.
