  • Patent number: 11208672
    Abstract: An enzymatic deacidification method for partial glyceride lipase and PUFA-rich oil, comprising the following steps: 1) mixing a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-rich oil with a non-polar organic solvent and a short-chain monohydric alcohol, adding an immobilized partial glyceride lipase to carry out an esterification reaction, wherein the partial glyceride lipase is a mutant obtained by mutating the Phe at the 278th position of Lipase SMG1 as Asn; 2) recovering the immobilized enzyme, and recovering the organic solvent and the monohydric alcohol so as to obtain a deacidified PUFA-rich oil. The partial glyceride lipase does not catalyze alcoholysis of triglyceride and like side reactions, has high deacidification efficiency, low reaction temperature, prevents high temperature oxidation of PUFAs, and the immobilized enzyme may be recovered and reused repeatedly, and thus the present invention has good application prospects in industry.

  • Publication number: 20210398733
    Abstract: An electronic device in a wireless power system may be operable with a removable accessory such as a case. The device may convey wireless power to, from, or through the case while the device is coupled to the case. The device may have coplanar power transmitting and power receiving coils. The removable accessory may have an embedded switchable ferrimagnetic core and a coil that overlaps the switchable ferrimagnetic core. The switchable ferrimagnetic core may be operable in a first state where the switchable ferrimagnetic core is unsaturated. The switchable ferrimagnetic core may be operable in a second state where the switchable ferrimagnetic core is saturated by a magnetic field from a permanent magnet in a wireless power transmitting device. In the second state, the switchable ferrimagnetic core may have a lower magnetic permeability and higher magnetic reluctance than in the first state.

  • Publication number: 20210384754
    Abstract: A device in a wireless power system may be operable with a removable accessory such as a case. The device may transmit or receive wireless power through the case while the electronic device is coupled to the case. The case may have a folio shape with a front cover portion that covers the display of the electronic device. The case may have an embedded ferrimagnetic core that relays magnetic flux during wireless power transfer operations. Magnetic alignment structures in the case may position the ferrimagnetic core in the case in a high magnetic flux density region between the power transmitting device and the power receiving device. The ferrimagnetic core relays the magnetic flux between a transmitting coil in the power transmitting device and a receiving coil in the power receiving device. The ferrimagnetic core may be formed in a front portion, a sidewall, or a rear wall of a case.
