CAS scores remarkable hi-tech feats in 2005

Apr 11, 2006

 

CAS has satisfactorily fulfilled a group of major tasks in strategic hi-tech field last year, announced CAS Executive Vice President Bai Chunli in his work report a recent CAS annual conference. Some of the examples of the achievements are listed below.

In the manned space flight of Shenzhou-6, CAS was commissioned to a wide range of key research tasks, including the overall design scheme for its application system, the development of its payloads, general equipment and large-scale experiments, in-orbit operation management and space environment prediction, making an important contribution to the sound performance of China's manned space flight. CAS has successfully accomplished the management of the business operation for the two satellites in the Double Star Program, TC-1 and TC-2, and their payload's long-term in-orbit operation. It undertook the trans-regional or trans-national reception, process and analysis of the satellite-issued data, obtaining cutting-edge and original research results in this aspect. The design of the Godson-2E and Godson-2D microprocessors has been completed and put into tape-out stage. CAS scientists succeeded in developing some core technology and prototype products with its own patent rights in the field of special-use computers and related algorithms for bioinformatics applications. The Academy is at the cutting-edge in the field of some aspects, CAS researchers now are at the frontline of the international community in the sequence reconstruction algorithms, repetitive sequence discovery, protein-protein interaction networks. China's first commercial unit for the production of isopropanol via direct hydration of propylene under medium pressure was successfully at its first trial operation. The capacity of the newly built unit is 30,000 tons isopropanol/year and the product isopropanol attained excellent grade, marking a research breakthrough in the industrial application of the new technology and its catalysts in this regard. And the development of a prototype for the 10.5kV/1.5kA three-phased high-temperature superconductor current limitation device, which has been in trial operation at a 10.5kV grid in the Gaoxi converting station in Hunan Province's Loudi City. Its key components and technical parameters are found to reach the world advanced level.
