  • Patent number: 11976287
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of recombinant fatty acid synthesis, particularly in transgenic plants. The application describes genes involved in fatty acid synthesis and provides methods and vectors for the manipulation of fatty acid composition of plant oils. In particular, the invention provides constructs for achieving the integration of multiple heterologous genes involved in fatty acid synthesis into the plant genome, such that the resulting plants produce altered levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Also described are methods for enhancing the expression of fatty acid biosynthesis enzymes by co-expressing a silencing suppressor within the plant storage organ.

  • Publication number: 20220325199
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for refining crude oils using a combination of a chemical process and mega-sonic treatment to simultaneously and efficiently separate oil and gum phases. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a process for refining crude oils using a combination of chemical processes followed by megasonic treatment to effectively separate and recover entrained oil from a gum phase to increase the oil yield, and to produce an oil of higher quality with reduced gum content. The present disclosure also relates to a process for refining crude oils using a combination of chemical processes followed by megasonic treatment to effectively separate and recover entrained gums from an oil phase to increase the gum yield, and to produce a gum of higher quality with reduced oil content. The present disclosure also relates to obtaining refined oils and refined gums from the process described herein.

  • Patent number: 10474500
    Abstract: Complex workflows are composed of a plurality of idempotent actions. During execution of the complex workflows, a computing system accesses the plurality of idempotent actions and determines whether corresponding guard conditions for triggering processing of the idempotent action are satisfied. When satisfied, a lock is taken on one or more resources used for executing the idempotent code of the idempotent action and execution of the idempotent code is initiated. Thereafter, upon successful execution of the idempotent code, the corresponding record is updated to reflect execution of the idempotent action and the lock is released. When execution of the idempotent action is unsuccessful, an exception is logged and the lock is released.
