  • Patent number: 12221640
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for promoting N-acetylglucosamine synthesis by using the GlcN6P responsive element. In the present invention, Bacillus subtilis BSGNY-Pveg-glmS-P43-GNA1 is used as a starting strain, in which a CRISPRi system regulated by GlcN6P responsive element is integrated into the genome to dynamically weaken the N-acetylglucosamine synthesis competitive pathway; a GlcN6P responsive promoter is used to regulate the expression of GNA1 on the plasmid to dynamically regulate the N-acetylglucosamine synthesis pathway; and the key gene alsSD involved in the acetoin synthesis pathway is knocked out. During fed-batch fermentation with this strain in a 15 L fermenter, the production of N-acetylglucosamine reaches 131.6 g/L and no by-product acetoin is accumulated, which lays a foundation for the production of GlcNAc by industrial fermentation.

  • Patent number: 12214999
    Abstract: The present application describes an intelligent hoisting method for a bridge deck crane system. The method involves determining the splicing heights at two key positions of the segment to be installed by measuring the alignment height of an already installed segment. The segment is hoisted, and the real-time heights at both positions are monitored. If one position reaches the splicing height while the other does not, the lifting point is adjusted until both positions align with their respective splicing heights. This method eliminates the need for reference marks or docking joints on the segment to be installed, thereby avoiding issues related to their precision and installation accuracy. Additionally, it simplifies the splicing operation by removing the need for pre-processing the segment, reducing the overall complexity of the process.

  • Publication number: 20250027176
    Abstract: An injection regulation and control device includes blast furnace tuyeres for introducing rich oxygen or pure oxygen to form tuyere raceways. Temperature-adjusting injection openings are evenly formed in the circumferential direction of a blast furnace and inject a hydrocarbon component-containing injection object to the blast furnace. The temperature-adjusting injection openings are located, in an axial direction, within a height range where a soft melting dripping zone is located and are not lower than the positions of the blast furnace tuyeres. The hydrocarbon component-containing injection objects are enabled to undergo a thermal cracking reaction by utilizing the temperature in the vicinity of the tuyere raceways to form a hydrocarbon thermal cracking heat absorption area. Gas products generated by the thermal cracking reaction of the hydrocarbon component-containing injection objects increase the blast furnace gas volume.

  • Patent number: 12167513
    Abstract: A LED dimming circuit, including a low-level-voltage generation module, a high-level-voltage generation module, a base-voltage generation module, and a dimming-signal generation module. By counting the high and low levels of a low-frequency PWM signal, high and low-level voltages with respect to time are obtained; a constant current source and a capacitor are used to convert high-frequency switching signals to a DC base voltage that is only related to the duty cycle of the low-frequency PWM signal. When the base voltage is greater than a predetermined voltage, the base voltage is output as the dimming signal; when the base voltage is less than the predetermined voltage, a new PWM signal is output as the dimming signal, whose magnitude is the same of that of the predetermined voltage, wherein the average values of the new PWM signal and the base voltage are the same.
