Abstract: A pulp and skin extract from dried, seed-free Myrciaria dubia fruit. The Myrciaria dubia fruit has a maturity of at least 70%, a soluble solids/acidity ratio between 2.5 and 3, and it is rich in organic acids.

Abstract: A support for washing machine with automatic leveling function comprises a sheath; a regulating mechanism arranged inside the sheath in an axial movable manner, whose circumferential rotation is limited by the sheath; and a flexible body inside the regulating mechanism for accommodating a hydraulic medium. The flexible body comprises a telescopic end which acts on the regulating mechanism, the telescopic end expands and contracts under an action of the hydraulic medium and drives the regulating mechanism to move axially for automatic leveling. Based on the hydraulic principle, the support can perform adaptive regulation automatically by means of the fluidity of the hydraulic medium of different pressures. Moreover, the structures of the regulating mechanism and the sheath are designed to avoid that the automatic leveling for washing machine is influenced by the regulating mechanism's rotation in inside the sheath. Thus, the automatic leveling effect is ensured.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an immunoglobulin-binding protein, wherein at least one asparagine residue has been mutated to an amino acid other than glutamine or aspartic acid, which mutation confers an increased chemical stability at pH-values of up to about 13-14 compared to the parental molecule.

An analog processor may operate as a sample generator, for example by: programming the analog processor with a configuration of the number of programmable parameters for the analog processor, which corresponds to a probability distribution over qubits of the analog processor, evolving the analog processor with a fast ramp operation, and reading out states for the qubits. The state for the qubits may be post processes and/or used to calculate importance weights.

Abstract: A control method for opening a door of a drum washing machine comprises the steps: S1, receiving a door opening instruction sent by a user; S2, judging whether a water level at a front end of a drum assembly satisfies a condition of opening the door, if yes, entering step S4, if no, entering step S3; S3, tilting the drum assembly with a tilting mechanism, and then returning to step S2; and S4, unlocking a door lock. Through a manner of lifting a front end of the drum assembly, the operation of opening the door during running is realized. In this way, the original parts of the washing machine do not need to be changed, and the drum assembly is tilted only through a driving device arranged at a lower part of the drum assembly or through a hanging spring arranged at a top part of the drum assembly.
