  • Publication number: 20230407286
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of biochemistry. Disclosed are a mutant enzyme, the use thereof and a process for preparing a tripeptide by using an enzymatic method. The mutant enzyme comprises: glycine and L-histidine ligase GHS, and tripeptide ligase HKS; or a fusion enzyme of the two. Glycine and L-histidine ligase activity is achieved by means of modifying an Lal enzyme, so as to obtain the GHS enzyme; and the ability for synthesizing dipeptide glycine-L-histidine and L-lysine is achieved by means of using a gshB enzyme, so as to obtain the HKS enzyme. On this basis, the GHS enzyme is further fused with the HKS enzyme by means of using a polypeptide chain, and then a bifunctional enzyme GHKS that links glycine, L-histidine and L-lysine in one step can be constructed, so that a tripeptide is conveniently prepared with a high yield.

  • Publication number: 20230359549
    Abstract: Training a predict model with network traffic and data change messages generated by an existing web application running in a production environment. The predict model being is trained to predict data changes resulted from API calls embodied in network traffic. A stream of network traffic of the existing web application is replayed with an upgraded version of the existing web application to generate real data changes. The stream of network traffic is applied to the predict model to generate predicted data change messages. The predicted data change messages are comparing with real data change messages representing the real data changes. One or more existing APIs is identified as being possibly functionally degraded based on any inconsistency of the predicted data change messages with the real data change messages.

  • Patent number: 11799818
    Abstract: A method is performed at a backend server. The server receives a to-be-processed interaction message from a user interface of a social network platform. The server performs intention classification on the to-be-processed interaction message, to obtain an intention classification result of the to-be-processed interaction message. The server performs semantic analysis on the to-be-processed interaction message when the intention classification result comprises a mini program intention, to determine a message keyword of the to-be-processed interaction message. The server determines a program identifier of a target mini program corresponding to the to-be-processed interaction message according to the message keyword.

  • Patent number: 11796508
    Abstract: A SAW sensor is optimized for detection of refrigerant leakage in a refrigerant system or other gases, vapors, explosives or chemicals of interest. The SAW sensor includes a piezoelectric substrate; an interdigitated transducer deposited on the piezoelectric substrate, the interdigitated transducer having an input portion that receives input surface acoustic waves and an output portion that emits output surface acoustic waves; and a refrigerant sensor film located between the input portion and the output portion of the interdigitated transducer, the refrigerant sensor film including a sorbent material that is selected for preferential adsorption of a target refrigerant over atmospheric gases. Adsorption of the target refrigerant by the sorbent material results in a frequency shift of a frequency of the output surface acoustic waves relative to a frequency of the input surface acoustic waves.

  • Patent number: 11790040
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for object detection and recognition based on a neural network. The method includes: adding a detection layer following three detection layers of an existing YOLOv5 network model, to construct a new YOLOv5 network model; then, training the new YOLOv5 network model by considering an overlapping area between a predicted box and a ground truth box, a center-to-center distance between the two boxes, and an aspect ratio of the two boxes; and finally, inputting a to-be-detected image into the trained new YOLOv5 network model, outputting a predicted box of an object and probability values corresponding to a class to which the object belongs, and setting a class corresponding to a maximum probability value as a predicted class of the object in the to-be-detected image. This method can quickly and effectively detect multiple classes of objects. Especially, a detection effect for small objects is more ideal.
