  • Publication number: 20250115075
    Abstract: Provided is a rim spoke, including a spoke rope and nipples. Mounting heads are fixedly sleeved on both ends of the spoke rope; through mounting holes are formed in the nipples; the nipples are fixedly sleeved on the mounting heads by means of the mounting holes; and the spoke rope is made of a textile fiber material. When the textile fiber spoke rope in a high tension state is subjected to a heavy impact, part of an impact force is cushioned due to the flexibility and strength margin of the spoke rope itself, so that the original characteristics of the spoke rope can still be kept under an extreme impact force without irreversible deformation, thereby reducing riding failure rate of riding, ensuring the riding safety, reducing the daily maintenance requirement of a wheel, and reducing costs.

  • Publication number: 20250075195
    Abstract: Provided are an esterase mutant and the use thereof. The esterase mutant obtained by means of rational design and several rounds of evolution screening with enzymes on the basis of an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 is changed in terms of protein structure and function compared with a wild-type esterase; in practical use, the catalytic activity and/or stereoselectivity of the esterase mutant is greatly improved; and when a system contains some organic cosolvents, the esterase mutant still has relatively stable catalytic activity and/or stereoselectivity. In addition, the improvement of the catalytic activity and/or stereoselectivity of the esterase mutant reduces the use amount of the enzyme to a certain extent and reduces the difficulty of post-treatment, and therefore the esterase mutant is suitable for industrial production.
