  • Patent number: 11155483
    Abstract: A method for efficiently producing PHA comprising: inoculating PHA fermentation strains into a fermentation medium for fermentation under the condition of being capable of producing PHA through fermentation; subjecting the fermentation broth to a solid-liquid separation to obtain fermentation supernatant and thallus precipitate; breaking the cell walls of the thallus precipitate, and subjecting the wall-broken products to a plate and frame filtration to prepare PHA; pre-coating a filter cloth for the plate and frame filtration with a PHA layer; at least part of the water of the fermentation medium is PHA process wastewater. The method utilizes the PHA process wastewater as at least part of the water of the fermentation medium, and filters and separates the broken thallus with the plate and frame filtration equipment pre-coated with PHA layer to prepare PHA, thereby recycling the high-salt wastewater, reducing costs, and potentially separating PHA on a large scale for industrial production.

  • Patent number: 10475528
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are described that facilitate computation of a model of an interface between two molecules and analyzing characteristics of the interface. The complex of the two molecules can be modeled, and location of the atoms on the surface can be determined. One of the two molecules can be similarly modeled, and the location of the atoms on the surface can be determined. An interface model utilizing atoms that are located in the same place on the complex and the molecule can be calculated. Properties of the interface can be utilized to analyze the interaction between the two molecules.

  • Publication number: 20170331862
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for accessing a cloud service and an access device. The method includes: sending, to a to-be-accessed cloud service, an access request packet that includes a cloud service interface type identifier of a piece of characteristic information and an access address of the to-be-accessed cloud service, when an access response packet that is returned by the to-be-accessed cloud service and that indicates successful matching is received, using interface version information corresponding to the cloud service interface type identifier as target cloud service interface version information, and connecting to the to-be-accessed cloud service based on the target cloud service interface version information and the access account. In this case, a degree of complexity of establishing a connection to a cloud service is decreased, and work efficiency is increased.
