  • Patent number: 11802169
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method of separating hemicellulose through efficient pretreatment of fibrous biomass materials. Fibrous biomass materials are first pretreated by the slurry method: the fibrous biomass materials are milled through ball mills and sieved to obtain fibrous biomass material powder, and the powder is mixed with water at room temperature to obtain slurry premixed solution of the fibrous biomass material powder. Through regulation and control of the reaction temperature, the time and the water amount, efficient hydrothermal removal of hemicellulose from the fibrous biomass material powder is realized. After the mixed solution is filtered, the filtrate is subject to gradient sedimentation to separate hemicellulose with low dispersity, and the sediment is then dried before storage. After the filter residue is mixed with polar aprotic solvent and water, and heated and stirred in a pressurized reactor, high-purity cellulose is obtained through filtering and separation.

  • Patent number: 11805511
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support cross-slot scheduling of sidelink transmissions in a wireless communication system. A transmitting user equipment (UE) in communication with a receiving UE over a sidelink transmits cross-slot schedule information to the receiving UE at a time prior to a first slot over which a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission is to be transmitted to the receiving UE. The cross-slot schedule information includes information that is sufficient to decode the PSSCH transmission received by the receiving UE at the first slot, without requiring the receiving UE to decode a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) transmission including a sidelink control information (SCI) message received during the first slot. In aspects, the PSSCH transmission may be decoded in parallel with the PSCCH transmission received in the first slot.
