Publication number: 20240108743Abstract: A linker peptide for constructing a fusion protein. The linker peptide comprises a flexible peptide and a rigid peptide. The flexible peptide consists of one or more flexible units. The rigid peptide consists of one or more rigid units. The flexible unit comprises two or more amino acid residues selected from Gly, Ser, Ala, and Thr. The rigid unit comprises a human chorionic gonadotropin ?-subunit carboxy-terminal peptide (CTP) bearing a plurality of glycosylation sites. The linker peptide can more effectively eliminate mutual steric hindrance of two fusion molecules, decreasing a reduction/loss of polymerization or activity resulting from improper folding of an active protein or a conformational change. On the other hand, the negatively charged, highly sialylated CTP can resist renal clearance, further prolonging a half-life of a fused molecule and enhancing bioavailability of a fused protein.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Qiang LI, Yuanli LI, Si CHEN, Zhu WANG, Zhao DONG, Zirui LI, Xinlu MA, Lu YANG, Yongjuan GAO, Yuncheng ZHENG, Naichao SUN

Patent number: 11905694Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a centralized treatment device for kitchen waste. The centralized treatment device includes an upper box, an outer cover, a pulverizer, an inner cover, a filter press, a drying granulator, a lower box, an electrolysis device, a hanging basket, a material box, an exhaust fan, and a linkage mechanism. Smashed kitchen waste is subjected to solid-liquid separation by the filter press. Filter residues enter the drying granulator to be partially carbonized, and partially carbonized filter residues and mixed powder treatment agent form solid residue particles. The solid residue particles degrade and adsorb pollutants in the water after being activated by an acidic solution. Meanwhile, accumulated water-absorbing solid residue particles help to degrade the pollutants in the water through the electrolysis device. A separation area is configured to separate oil and discharge the oil separately.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2023Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: CHANGZHOU UNIVERSITYInventors: Mingguo Peng, Jianfeng Ma, Yang Qu, Linqiang Mao, Erdeng Du, Fang Zhu, Weibing Zhu, Dongxiao Shi, Yanqiu Zhang, Lu Zheng, Qiuya Zhang

Patent number: 11157955Abstract: An online system tracks stores information identifying content provided by third party systems and accessed by online system users as well as interactions with advertisements performed by online system users. When the online system identifies an opportunity to present an advertisement to a viewing user, the online system identifies content from third party systems accessed by the viewing user and content from third party systems accessed by additional online system users who interacted with advertisements. A score is computed for various advertisements based at least in part on correlations between content from third party systems accessed by the viewing user and content from third party systems accessed by additional online system users who interacted with advertisements. The online system selects candidate advertisements to evaluate for presentation to the viewing user based on the scores.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2015Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: Feng Yan, Shyamsundar Rajaram, Hao Zhang, Lu Zheng, Tianshi Gao, David Michael Viner
