  • Patent number: 12357005
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods to separate solids from liquids in a production facility. A process separates components in the process stream by applying non-condensable media to create density differences and then using a mechanical device to separate the solids from the liquids based on the density difference. The process produces the liquids and solids, which may be further processed to create valuable animal feed products.

  • Patent number: 12291600
    Abstract: A three-dimensional star-shaped ?-helix polypeptide having a high-efficiency gene delivery capability, and a preparation method and an application thereof. A dendrimer is used as an initiator and dichloromethane is used as a reaction solvent to initiate high-speed ring-opening polymerization of different types of N-carboxylic anhydride monomers, and groups having different electrical properties are introduced at the ends via click chemistry reactions. The abundant amino groups on the surface of the dendrimer provide enough polymerization sites to enable the polypeptide to form a three-dimensional spherical topological structure, and the topological structure provides an opportunity for initial acceleration of the ring-opening polymerization reaction. The higher positive charge density caused by polypeptide side chain modified guanidine/amino groups etc.
