  • Patent number: 11962968
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a noise cancellation apparatus and method. The noise cancellation apparatus includes a main control unit and a noise cancellation processing circuit. The main control unit determines a noise cancellation parameter based on a noise cancellation level index or a feature value for determining a matching degree between a headset and an ear canal of a user. The noise cancellation processing unit obtains an inverse phase noise of an ambient noise based on the noise cancellation parameter. After the inverse phase noise is mixed with a played downlink audio signal, the ambient noise can be canceled. In addition, because the noise cancellation parameter is determined from a preset noise cancellation parameter library based on the received or autonomously determined noise cancellation level index, instead of being uniformly configured, a noise cancellation level can be flexibly adjusted, thereby improving a noise cancellation effect and user experience.

  • Patent number: 10519417
    Abstract: The invention discloses a high-secretion heat-resistant yeast genetically engineered strain and application thereof, belonging to the field of biotechnology. Mutagenesis and domestication are performed to obtain the yeast genetically engineered strain capable of expressing a lipase gene at a high secretion level at high temperature. The strain is collected by China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC), and the collection number is CCTCC NO: M 2016278. The sequencing analysis shows that the lipase gene and promoter sequence thereof are not mutated, which indicates that the high-secretion expression of the lipase gene by the mutant strain is caused by mutation of other gene sequences in the genome.

  • Patent number: 10323247
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for improving the extracellular expression level of a foreign protein by means of phospholipase fusion expression. Four proteins, PLA2, MBP, CBD and SUMO, are used as a fusion tag to construct a fusion gene. Compared with an original protein MOH without any fusion tag, the extracellular expression level and enzymatic activity of all the four fusion proteins are increased to some degree. Among them, the fusion protein using PLA2 as the fusion tag has the highest expression level, which is 7.4 times higher than that of the original protein. Compared with other fusion tags, PLA2 has a low molecular weight and the fusion protein having PLA2 as the fusion tag has the highest expression level (up to 12 g·L?1 in a 7 L fermentation tank for high-density fermentation). It is shown that the secretory expression of a foreign protein can be effectively increased by using PLA2 as a fusion tag.
