  • Patent number: 11992890
    Abstract: The invention provides an electrochemical discharge-assisted micro-grinding device for micro-components of brittle and hard materials. The device includes a micro-grinding tool, grinding fluid, a workpiece, an auxiliary electrode, a processing groove, and a pulsed DC power supply; the processing groove is filled with grinding fluid; the micro-grinding tool, the workpiece, and the auxiliary electrode are immersed in the grinding fluid; the micro-grinding tool is composed of a conductive grinding tool base, an electroplating layer, and insulated superabrasives. The micro-grinding tool is connected to the negative electrode of the pulsed DC power supply; the grinding fluid is composed of H2O2, Na2CO3, EDTA-Fe-Na, and deionized water; the workpiece material is brittle and hard; a large number of micro structures need to be produced on the surface of the workpiece.

  • Patent number: 11976267
    Abstract: The invention provides a recombinant Escherichia coli strain for producing succinic acid and a construction method thereof. The by-product encoding genes in the E. coli strain FMME-N-2 are knocked out to obtain the E. coli strain FMME-N-5 (?focA-pflB-?ldhA-?pta-ackA); and the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase pck derived from Actinobacillus succinogenes and the phosphite dehydrogenase ptxD derived from Pseudomonas stutzeri were overexpressed. The constructed plasmid pTrcHisA-pck-ptxD was introduced into the expression host E. coli FMME-N-5 (?focA-pflB-?ldhA-?pta-ackA), and the cells were screened in a plate containing ampicillin, to obtain an engineered strain E. coli FMME-N-5 (?focA-pflB-?ldhA-?pta-ackA)-pck-ptxD that can efficiently produce succinic acid. After fermentation by a two-stage fermentation strategy, the production of succinic acid reaches 137 g/L, the yield of succinic acid is up to 1 g/g glucose, and the space time yield is 1.

  • Publication number: 20240145007
    Abstract: In certain aspects, a memory device includes memory cells, word lines coupled to the memory cells, and a peripheral circuit coupled to the memory cells. The peripheral circuit is coupled to the word lines and configured to apply program pulses to a selected word line of the word lines in a program operation, obtain a number of occurrences of suspensions during the program operation, and determine a limit on a number of program pulses for the program operation based on the number of occurrences of the suspensions during the program operation.

  • Publication number: 20240132925
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for preparing pyrrolidone, and the invention provides a method for catalytically preparing pyrrolidone with ?-aminobutyric acid in the presence of carnitine-CoA ligase CaiC. The carnitine-CoA ligase CaiC has an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:1. The ligase has catalytic activity in the cyclization of ?-aminobutyric acid to produce pyrrolidone. The carnitine-CoA ligase provided in the present invention affords a yield of pyrrolidone of 3.26 g/L and a molar yield of 39.53% in 24 h when ?-aminobutyric acid is used as a substrate, thus reducing the production period, improving the production of pyrrolidone, and accelerating the industrialization process of producing pyrrolidone by enzymatic conversion method.

  • Publication number: 20210356773
    Abstract: There are provided a color filter substrate and a display apparatus. The color filter substrate comprises a base substrate; a black matrix; a first color filter; a planarization layer, which is located between the base substrate and the black matrix and has an opening; and a first color cast compensation layer, which is located in the opening of the planarization layer, wherein a light of a first color passes through the first color filter in a direction deviating from the vertical direction of the base substrate at an angle a, the first color cast compensation layer at least partly converts the light of the first color passing through the first color filter to a light of a second color or a light of a third color, and the angle a is greater than or equal to 0 degree and less than 90 degrees.
