  • Publication number: 20230193220
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing trehalose, comprising the steps of mixing and reacting, in any order, (i) at least one alpha-phosphorylase capable of catalyzing the production of alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate intermediate from a saccharide raw material, and from at least one phosphorus source; (ii) at least one trehalose phosphorylase capable of catalyzing the production of trehalose from an alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate intermediate and a glucose substrate, wherein the trehalose phosphorylase is a trehalose phosphorylase variant with an amino acid sequence which differs from the amino acid sequence of a wild type trehalose phosphorylase in at least one amino acid position, (iii) at least one saccharide raw material which produces an alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate intermediate and a co-product by catalytic action of the alpha-phosphorylase; and (iv) at least one phosphorus source selected from the group consisting of a phosphoric acids and an inorganic salt thereof.

  • Patent number: 10586215
    Abstract: Social networking system users may create events where a group of other users invited to the event meet at a specified time and location. While an inviting user initially specifies the group of users to invite to the event, the social networking system suggests additional users to invite to the event. The social networking system suggests additional users based on a prediction that the users would attend the event if invited. Various factors may be used to make the prediction, such as an affinity between the inviting user and the other users, the availability of the other users at the time of the event and/or the proximity of the other users to the location of the event. Invitations to the suggested additional users may be automatically sent or sent to a set of the additional users selected by the inviting user.

  • Patent number: 10115179
    Abstract: A map interface presents a geographic map with markers identifying geographic locations associated with content items. When the geographic distance between two or more content items is less than a threshold distance, multiple content items are grouped to create an aggregated content item. Based on the geographic locations associated with the grouped content items, a geographic location is associated with the aggregated content item. A single marker identifies the geographic location for the aggregated content item on the geographic map. When a user viewing the map interface accesses the single marker, content selected from the content items combined to generated the aggregated content item is presented as well as the geographic location associated with the aggregated content item.

  • Patent number: 9929994
    Abstract: A messaging system that organizes and presents messages to users of the messaging system. The messaging system includes a mailbox module that receives messages and generates conversation threads from the messages. Messages received from different electronic message channels may be aggregated into a common conversation thread. The conversation threads are also organized in a message interface and then presented to a user of the messaging system. The messaging system may include a social networking system that stores social information about users, which can be used to organize the conversation threads. Other features include a multi mode message interface, and a method for adding contextual information to messages.

  • Patent number: 9836721
    Abstract: A social networking system that provides a system allowing users of the social networking system to define future plans, whereby users of the social networking system who view the plan are permitted to add themselves to the plan independent of whether they were explicitly specified as attendees of the plan. The social networking system is capable of auto-filling some missing plan details through inference. The social networking system is also capable of merging similar plans together.

  • Patent number: 9621500
    Abstract: A messaging system facilitates communication between users through various messaging channels. The messaging system supports multiple communication channels and includes a messaging module that automatically selects one or more of the messaging channels for delivering a message to a recipient of the message using, for example, a set of policy rules or a trained model. The messaging module may also provide, in a user interface for sending and receiving messages, a visual indication of the selected messaging channel to the sender of the message to provide the user with transparency about how the message will be delivered. Additionally, the message may be delivered via multiple messaging channels, where the messaging module may rescind messages from some of the messaging channels upon receiving a reply from the recipient of the message or other confirmation that the recipient has seen the message via one of the communication channels.
