  • Patent number: 10619171
    Abstract: A method of enzyme conversion comprises the steps of: immobilising an enzyme composition on a support material; drying the support material and enzyme composition to form a solid phase immobilised enzyme system; contacting the system with one or more reagents in the gas phase; allowing the enzyme system to convert the reagent(s) to product(s); wherein the enzyme composition may comprise a single enzyme or a first enzyme plus a second enzyme or multiple enzymes; and a co-factor which may be converted between first and second states; wherein the co-factor in the first state promotes reaction of the first enzyme; and wherein the co-factor in the second state promotes reaction of the second enzyme; or wherein the co-factor oscillates between first and second states with multiple enzymes.

  • Publication number: 20110096245
    Abstract: This specification discloses a multimedia display device with dual wireless modules. It includes a body, a first wireless module, and a second wireless module. The first wireless module and the second wireless module are built in the body or connected to the body via an input/output interface. The body is connected via the first wireless module and the ISP service to the Internet. The user is enabled to access multimedia data via network hot spots or remote devices. The data are processed by a data processing control unit and presented on a display. The second wireless module is simulated by simulation software as an access point for any device with a Wi-Fi module to connect to the Internet through the first wireless module.

  • Publication number: 20100268594
    Abstract: A multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations includes a server provided for an advertising owner to browse the performance of each advertising site before the advertising takes place. After the advertising owner reviews the advertising information, the advertising site and advertising device are evaluated and selected by an analysis module and a fee calculation module, and the advertising content is stored in a database at the server. A middle server transmits the advertising playing time and the ID code of the advertising device to the advertising device by the URL. At the playing time, the advertising device is connected to the advertising content of the database for instant play on the advertising device, and works together with a view counter for counting and analyzing the data of browser, and transmits the performance analysis information of the advertising to the advertising owner.
