  • Publication number: 20110177572
    Abstract: A hydrolysate-adapted yeast, Pichia stipitis INER 1128, is cultivated according to the present invention. The adapted yeast can effectively convert xylose into ethanol in lignocellulosic hydrolysate, which is not even detoxified. Well ethanol yield is obtained while xylose is not wasted and thus cost is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20080164011
    Abstract: A liquid cooling type heat-dissipating device for exchanging heat with a heat source is provided, which includes a heat-dissipating fan, a pump, a liquid pipe, a motor, and a heat-dissipating block. The motor drives the heat-dissipating fan and the pump. Two ends of the liquid pipe are connected to the pump so as to form a fluid loop, wherein the liquid pipe is in contact with the heat-dissipating block, and the heat-dissipating block is disposed on the heat source. The liquid pipe is continuously curved on a segment away from the heat-dissipating block to form a curved portion located on a wind output path of the heat-dissipating fan, therefore, the heat-dissipating fan cools the curved portion by blowing wind, so as to increase the speed of temperature dropping thereby improving the heat dissipation performance of the liquid pipe.
