Publication number: 20240093255Abstract: The present invention provides a novel biosynthetic production process which converts L-galactose into 2?-fucosyllactose via four enzymatically catalyzed reaction steps. The present process is designed such that co-factors required by the process are regenerated within the four reaction steps, hence making the process cost-effective and efficient. The process can be performed in vitro in a cell-free system. The present invention also provides mutant enzymes that can be used to increase production levels of 2?-fucosyllactose, whether using the novel pathway described herein or the mannose-dependent pathway known in the art.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Conagen Inc.Inventors: Guohong Mao, Meaghan Valliere, Johnson Wu, Oliver Yu, Sean Robert Johnson

Patent number: 11882199Abstract: A request is received from a client device over a Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnel. The request is received at a first one of a plurality of edge servers of a distributed cloud computing network. A destination of the request is determined and an optimized route for transmitting the request toward an origin server is determined. The optimized route is based at least in part on probe data between edge servers of the distributed cloud computing network.

Patent number: 11736740Abstract: A server in a content delivery network (CDN) receives a request for a web page of a domain handled by an origin server. The server retrieves the web page and the web page references a video. The server retrieves a file that indicates a list of locations of the domain in which segments of the video are located. The server fetches at least an initial portion of the segments. The server receives a request for the video. The server transmits to the requester at least the initial portion of the segments. The server receives a subsequent request of a different portion of the segments. The server transmits a response to the requester that instructs the requester to transmit the request for the different portion of segments to a second server in the CDN.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: CLOUDFLARE, INC.Inventors: Dane Orion Knecht, Igor Postelnik, Oliver Yu, John Graham-Cumming, Dani Grant, Nitin Rao
