  • Publication number: 20210228033
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner (10) includes a handle assembly (22) pivotally coupled to a foot (42). The handle assembly (22) includes an air treatment member, an actuator (34) centrally arranged on a rear side of the handle assembly (22) and a cord reel assembly (14) arranged on a front side of the handle assembly (22). The cord reel assembly (14) includes a cord reel (30) and a cord (26) configured to be coupled to an AC power source and provide power to the suction source. The cord reel (30) is switchable between a first state, in which the cord reel (30) winds the cord (26), and a second state, in which the cord reel (30) does not wind. The actuator (34) is moveable between a first position and a second position. In response to the actuator (34) moving from the first position to the second position, the cord reel (30) switches from the second state to the first state.

  • Patent number: 11030246
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for fast, accurate, and scalable unbiased graphlet estimation. The system utilizes neighborhood sampling and combinatorial relations to estimate graphlet counts, statistics, and frequency distributions in a small fraction of the computing time of existing systems. The obtained unbiased estimates are highly accurate, and have applications in the analysis, mining, and predictive modeling of massive real-world networks. During operation, the system obtains data indicating vertices and edges of a graph. The system samples a portion of the graph and counts a number of graph features in the sampled portion of the graph. The system then computes an occurrence frequency of a graphlet pattern and a total number of graphlets associated with the graphlet pattern in the graph.

  • Publication number: 20210115470
    Abstract: A method for creating a new germplasm of a male sterile crop by gene editing and an application thereof are provided. In this method, the gene editing is performed on an exon region of a Ty-5 gene, and a deletion of DNA sequence is introduced by using a repair mechanism of plants themselves to double-strand breaks (DSBs), causing a loss of function of Ty-5 gene, thereby obtaining a male-sterile character. The method can be applied without being limited by crop categories. After the gene editing is performed on Ty-5 genes of various crops, new germplasms can be quickly obtained. The new germplasms have the same agronomic characters as the previous materials, and only differ in sexual aspect, which effectively solves the problem of the lack of male sterile materials and unstable fertility in natural resources.

  • Publication number: 20200385822
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of recombinant fatty acid synthesis, particularly in transgenic plants. The application describes genes involved in fatty acid synthesis and provides methods and vectors for the manipulation of fatty acid composition of plant oils. In particular, the invention provides constructs for achieving the integration of multiple heterologous genes involved in fatty acid synthesis into the plant genome, such that the resulting plants produce altered levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Also described are methods for enhancing the expression of fatty acid biosynthesis enzymes by co-expressing a silencing suppressor within the plant storage organ.
