Publication number: 20220090149Abstract: The present invention discloses a genetically engineered Kluyveromyces sp. yeast strain that is capable of producing lactic acid from carbon source selected from glucose, fructose, sucrose or a mixture thereof wherein the genetically engineered yeast comprises at least one heterologous DNA cassette that confers production of a protein functioning as a fructose importer. The genetically engineered yeast strain according to this invention has an improvement of fructose utilization and use fructose as a faster rate than conventional strain, allowing for shorter fermentation times and improved economics.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2019Publication date: March 24, 2022Applicant: PTT GLOBAL CHEMICAL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: Sudhanshu Vijay DOLE, Joel Stewart SCHMID, R.

Patent number: 9830304Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods and supporting systems for programmatically inserting highly-relevant content (“inserted content” or “display items”) into existing electronic content (“native content”) such as websites and WAP-enabled domains. The addition of the content considers various attributes of the native content into which the inserted content is to be placed, the user viewing the content, the device on which the content is being placed, the structure of the content, metadata related to the content and/or the content domain, the inserted content itself, as well as many other attributes that may be specific to the instance, or, in some cases, may even be random. The insertion process also uses an insertion strategy to direct how, when and in what form the inserted content is placed into the native content.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2013Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Swoop Inc.Inventors: Simeon Simeonov, James Echmalian, Yongdeng Chen, James R. Morrin, Jr., Tyler Morrison, Joseph Regan Ferris

Patent number: 8812593Abstract: Certain embodiments provide systems and methods for managing elements and users of a community-based content aggregation system. An element is received that includes content associated with a community topic. The element is provided to a moderator and an approval of the element is received. The element is stored with elements attributes that can include a comment, a rating, and a label identifying a sub-topic of the community topic. A search request is received and the element is outputted in response to the request. A rating and a comment on the element is received and stored in the element attributes. Approval of the comment is received. In some embodiments, points may be awarded to a user for participating in the community and the user's user level may be modified based on the points of the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2013Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Paul-Alexandru Chirita, Marius Georgian Zaharia, Robert Joseph Regan, Jr., Todd Michael Groner Kopriva, Mark Eric Nichoson, Kirsti-Marie Aho, Alexandru Bogdan Serban, Tanya Ingrid Wendling

Patent number: 8560708Abstract: A session bundle allocation capability enables dynamic allocation of bundles of sessions being handled by a network element to modules of the network element (e.g., modules such as processing modules configured to perform one or more of traffic processing, traffic switching, and like functions). A bundle of sessions may be allocated by associating a plurality of sessions to form thereby a bundle of sessions, and assigning the bundle of sessions to a processing module group including one or more processing modules configured for processing traffic for the sessions of the bundle of sessions. A bundle of sessions may have a bundle identifier associated therewith and may be migrated from a first processing module group to a second processing module group by changing a mapping of the bundle identifier from being associated with the first processing module group to being associated with the second processing module group.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Sathyender Nelakonda, Suresh Kannan Durai Samy, Himanshu Shah, Satyam Sinha, Praveen Muley, Prasad Chigurupati, Vachaspathi Peter Kompella, Joseph Regan
