  • Patent number: 11944951
    Abstract: Calcium silicate hydrate nanoparticles are combined with ammonia control materials (e.g. alum, aluminum chloride, ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, and/or sodium bisulfate) to create a phosphorus-binding composition. In the preferred embodiment, the composition is applied to poultry litter, poultry bedding or other non-aqueous substrates that are at least partially comprised of animal manure. The composition binds with phosphorus to at least reduce the amount of phosphorus in runoff water or in leachate from fields fertilized with treated manure. The combining of the calcium silicate hydrate nanoparticles with the ammonia control products has a surprising and unexpected result. The calcium silicate hydrate-ammonia control material mix reduces soluble phosphorus more than either component of the mix alone.

  • Patent number: 11943732
    Abstract: A method for performing, by a user equipment (UE), a registration to a network in a wireless communication system is disclosed. More specifically, the UE performs a registration to a first public land mobile network (PLMN) via a first base station, receives a disaster related message indicating that a disaster roaming service is provided, checks whether the UE is provided with the disaster roaming service based on the disaster related message, selects a second PLMN providing the disaster roaming service when the UE is provided with the disaster roaming service as a result of the check, transmits a registration request message to the selected second PLMN based on the disaster related message, and receives, from the second PLMN, a response message to the registration request message.

  • Patent number: 11937174
    Abstract: An access point provides a hidden wireless network that is configured with a set of SSIDs so that the hidden network is discoverable with multiple different SSIDs. Based on detection of a probe request frame which indicates an SSID from a device, the access point determines if the SSID for which network availability is requested matches one of the SSIDs in the set. If the SSID does match one of those included in the set, the SSID correctly identifies the hidden network, and the access point responds with a probe response frame. Devices connected to the hidden network may have initiated the establishment of the connection with a different SSIDs despite the hidden network being a single wireless network. Scaling the number of supported SSIDs therefore does not impact the frequency with which the access point transmits beacon frames for the hidden network.

  • Patent number: 11931936
    Abstract: In an injection process, molten resin is successively injected from a first flow channel and a second flow channel connected with each other in order into a cavity of a metal mold. High-temperature resin existing in the first flow channel is injected in advance into the cavity as a part of a single shot of molten resin to later form a skin layer of a molded article. Other low temperature resin near a flowable limit existing in the second flow channel is subsequently injected into the cavity as another part of the single shot of molten resin to later form a core layer of the molded article. A low temperature resin remaining in the first flow channel when injection is completed is warmed to be a high-temperature resin before the next cycle, thereby allowing successive molding of molded articles.

  • Patent number: 11920143
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an AtPPR1 gene (negative regulatory factor) for Phytophthora resistance and homologous genes thereof, involving an AtPPR1 gene and a protein encoded by the AtPPR1 gene. The AtPPR1 gene has a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:6, and the protein encoded by the AtPPR1 gene has an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:7. A function of the AtPPR1 gene of the present disclosure to improve Phytophthora resistance of plants can be used for the selective breeding of Phytophthora-resistant varieties. As a new type of negative immunoregulatory factor in plants, AtPPR1 negatively regulates the resistance of plants to Phytophthora by interfering with downstream signal transduction of endogenous jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) and ROS signals in plants.

  • Patent number: 11919213
    Abstract: A method for producing injection-molded parts by a two-component injection-molding technique in which a first material component is injected into a mold cavity and is displaced into peripheral regions of the mold cavity by injecting a second material component. The first material component is injected into a partial region of the mold cavity at a first gating point and the second material component is injected into the mold cavity at a second gating point and, as a result, the first material component is acted upon by the second material component and displaced in the direction of the regions of the mold to be filled with the first material component. The first material component is thereby displaced into regions of the mold at the wall, and the second material component is introduced in those regions of the mold as a core material and completely into other regions of the mold.
