Abstract: The invention provides a glutamate decarboxylase mutant with improved pH tolerance and use thereof in synthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid. The mutant is obtained by mutating glutamate decarboxylase having an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 3. The enzyme activity of the mutant at pH 6.5 is improved to 178% of the original enzyme (SEQ ID NO. 3). The final yield of 1000 g of substrate fed in batches in a 5L tank for 12 h is up to 688.13 g/L, which is about 52% higher than the productivity of the original glutamate decarboxylase. The final molar conversion rate can reach 98.2%. The invention not only broadens the enzyme activity of GAD under the optimum pH, but also broadens the enzyme activity of GAD under the neutral pH, and enhances the capability of the GAD to synthesize gamma-aminobutyric acid, and therefore is more suitable for industrial production.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and devices for implementing automatic grammar augmentation for improving voice command recognition accuracy in systems with a small footprint acoustic model. Alternative expressions that may capture acoustic model decoding variations may be added to a grammar set. An acoustic model-specific statistical pronunciation dictionary may be derived by running the acoustic model through a large general speech dataset and constructing a command-specific candidate set containing potential grammar expressions. Greedy based and cross-entropy-method (CEM) based algorithms may be utilized to search the candidate set for augmentations with improved recognition accuracy.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for the rate-controlled forwarding of traffic to a base station of a radio access network (“RAN”).
