  • Patent number: 12630653
    Abstract: Preparation method of modified starch-lipid binary complexes is provided. The preparation method includes: subjecting native starch to chemical modification utilizing octenyl succinic anhydride; and preparing a starch suspension with a concentration of 7-20% by taking starch octenyl succinate and lipid as raw materials at a mass ratio of (10-200):1. The modified starch-lipid binary complexes can be efficiently prepared through an aqueous phase system. According to the preparation method, not only the complexing of starch with fatty acid or monoglyceride but also the complexing of starch with diglyceride can be effectively promoted during food processing. Compared with the traditional technologies, the starch-lipid complexes prepared based on the present disclosure are more efficient, better structured, and more potentially useful for enhancing food quality to improve human nutritional health.

  • Patent number: 12601904
    Abstract: The invention relates to a ranging and ballistic display optical sight featuring a mounting bracket, control mainboard, laser emitter, and receiver. An objective lens group and beam splitter prism are arranged coaxially, with the prism positioned above the laser receiver. The laser beam emitted is reflected by the prism into the receiver. A digital reticle plate, aligned with the optical path, displays the range data. The control mainboard calculates distance based on the time difference between laser emission and reception, then displays the result on the reticle. This system enhances shooting precision and efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20240327711
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a flame retardant composed of multi-component phase change material particles. These particles consist of paraffin wax, nano-flame retardant, and conventional flame retardant. The phase change material is modified with nano-flame retardant and physically coated with conventional flame retardant. The multi-component phase change material flame retardant is formed by creating a two-layer nucleus-shell structure. The nucleus core is made up of the conventional flame retardant, while the shell layer is composed of the nano-flame retardant doped phase change material. The multi-component flame retardant material combines the performance advantages of phase change material, nano flame retardant, and conventional flame retardant. The combination of nano flame retardant and phase change material weakens the disadvantages of phase change material and allows for the full utilization of the energy storage capabilities of the phase change material.

  • Patent number: 11566181
    Abstract: A process for producing a surfactant having two head groups and a single tail group per molecule, including steps of: producing a compound of Formula (1) from ethanol and carbon disulfide; producing a compound of Formula (2) from a carboxylic acid and bromine; producing a compound of Formula (3) from the compound of Formula (2) and methanol; producing a compound of Formula (4) from the compound of Formula (1) and the compound of Formula (3); and producing a compound of Formula (5) from the compound of Formula (4) by a direct oxidation process or by a peracid oxidation process. The surfactant produced by the process has lower critical micelle concentration and enables a lower surface tension of a liquid as compared with prior surfactants with two head groups per molecule, thereby enabling the amount of surfactant required and thus the cost to be substantially reduced.
