Publication number: 20260275086Abstract: A resilient bacterial nanocellulose foam having at least 80 percent biobased carbon content having 0.7% to 1.5% w/w biopolymer of TEMPO-oxidized bacterial nanocellulose or mixtures of TEMPO-oxidized bacterial nanocellulose and an anionic biopolymer The material includes 0.1% to 2% w/w surfactant and 0.3% to 1.5% w/w crosslinker. The crosslinker may be a divalent metal ion donor such as a metal salt (e.g., calcium salt or a zinc salt, for example, calcium carbonate or zinc carbonate or mixtures). A void-forming agent of 0.3% to 0.9% w/w and 4% to 10% w/w of a resilience-enhancing modifier are added to provide mechanical properties similar to those of commercial polyurethane foams. The resilient bacterial nanocellulose foam has a density of 30 to 182 kg/m3, a tensile strength of 98 to 1195 kPa, and a resilience of 18 to 39%. The TEMPO-oxidized bacterial nanocellulose has a degree of polymerization (DP) of at least 700.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2025Publication date: September 17, 2026Inventors: Wing Nien Wylie O, Xin CHEN, Dan CHENG, Guozhuangqi YAN

Patent number: 12719926Abstract: This application is directed to systems and methods for detecting phishing attempts in a user application. In some embodiments, a disclosed method includes extracting from an incoming message a uniform resource identifier (URI) for identifying a resource on a computer network, generating a screenshot image of the resource identified by the URI, applying a phishing detection model to process the screenshot image and generate a phishing indicator representing a confidence level of determining that the resource would cause a phishing attack, and in accordance with a determination that the phishing indicator satisfies an alert condition, reporting via an alert message that the URI extracted from the incoming message corresponds to the phishing attack. In some embodiments, the alert condition includes a confidence threshold, and requires that the alert message be generated and reported in accordance with a determination that the phishing indicator is greater than the confidence threshold.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2024Date of Patent: August 25, 2026Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Jayson Lee Davidson, Dan Cheng, Connor Joseph Shride, Walter Nolen Scaife

Publication number: 20260219409Abstract: A method and apparatus for migration imaging of a viscous medium are disclosed. The method includes: determining a new compensation function of the viscous medium based on a phase compensation function of a seismic wave in the viscous medium and an established amplitude compensation function; performing Fourier transform on a seismic record of a receiver point of the seismic wave in the viscous medium to obtain a seismic record in a frequency domain; performing frequency division compensation on the seismic record in the frequency domain based on the new compensation function of the viscous medium to obtain compensated seismic data; and performing prestack depth migration on the compensated seismic data to obtain a migration imaging section of the viscous medium. According to the examples of the disclosure, the problem of compensation for absorption attenuation in an area with a small Q value is solved, and resolution of a seismic imaging section is increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2023Publication date: July 30, 2026Applicants: China National Petroleum Corporation, BGP Inc., China National Petroleum Corporation, CNPC EXPLORATION SOFTWARE CO., LTDInventors: Lei WANG, Jiandong LIANG, Ruiqing XUAN, Jinping ZHU, Dan CHENG, Pengyuan SUN

Publication number: 20260152772Abstract: A biosynthetic method and composition for producing an Indigo dyestuff including Indigotin and Indirubin. Tryptophanase (TRP) and flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) are generated from a genetically-modified organism having a vector coding for tryptophanase and flavin-containing monooxygenase. The conversion of L-tryptophan to Indigo dyestuff is converted by the generated TRP and FMO in the presence of one or more bioactive additives selected from the cysteine, 2-oxindole, or 2-indoxyl to form a dyestuff having a ratio of Indigotin to Indirubin by weight between 1:0.1 to 1:4. The dyestuff has a color hue defined by CIE XYZ color space with X: 0.1920 to 0.2481, Y: 0.2537 to 0.2019, Z: 0.5543 to 0.5501. Selectable and reproduceable color hues are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2025Publication date: June 4, 2026Inventors: Wing Nien Wylie O, Dick Yan TAM, GuoZhuangQi YAN, Dan CHENG

Publication number: 20260069647Abstract: A traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound composition for treating heart failure (HF) includes Semen Sinapis Albae, Radix Kansui Praeparata, Semen Descurainiae, Ramulus Cinnamomi, Radix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata, Eupolyphaga Steleophaga, Cortex Moutan, and Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae. An acupoint selection principle for the external application of a YANG-warming and heart-settling plaster focuses on warming and tonifying the heart and kidneys, promoting blood circulation, and dispelling water retention. Five acupoints are selected: Danzhong (CV17), Xinshu (BL15), Juque (CV14), Shenshu (BL23), and Jingmen (GB25). Among these, Xinshu (BL15) paired with Juque (CV14), and Shenshu (BL23) paired with Jingmen (GB25), form combinations for the heart and kidneys for the heart and kidneys, facilitating tonification of the heart and kidneys, promoting water drainage to resolve dampness, and activating blood circulation to unblock meridians.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2025Publication date: March 12, 2026Inventors: Lan Ge, Xiaoyu Cheng, Zhenpeng Zhu, Zhongzhi Li, Wenjun Jiang, Dan Cheng, Yulong Liu, Xinyue Wang, Maomao Zhang, Xiaowen Ma, Mengzhao Wei, Sheng Sheng, Mengru Chen

Publication number: 20250179235Abstract: The present invention discloses a cross-linked nanoporous saccharide-based material comprising saccharides as building blocks, also referred as nanoporous Nanosponge materials. The reaction of saccharides with cross-linkers at different saccharides to cross-linker ratios in one-pot shall allow formation of nanoporous Nanosponge material. This method further allows introduction of new functional groups on this material by the use of suitable cross-linkers and surface grafting agents, and these functional groups shall be able to provide different interaction forces with water, volatile organic vapors (VOCs) and metal ions. Along with larger inner surface area owing to the presence of nanopores or nanocavities in comparison to porous materials, saccharide-based nanoporous Nanosponge materials shall find broad applications in thermal insulation, water retention, hydrophobic finishes, odor removal properties, and metal ions exchange or absorption from water or soil.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2025Publication date: June 5, 2025Inventors: Wing Nien Wylie O, Tin Lok LI, Zhijian LIN, Dan CHENG, Jifan LI
