  • Publication number: 20190010419
    Abstract: Methods and systems used to extract lipids suitable in production of biofuels from a fermentation broth may include using heat to pre-treat the fermentation broth in order to more easily extract a product from oleaginous microorganisms in the broth. Additionally or alternatively, a combination of enzymes including amylase, 1-4 mannosidase, and 1-3 mannosidase may be used to break down cell walls of the oleaginous microorganisms. Residual broth water may be recycled and used as imbibition water for washing a process feedstock to extract sugar.

  • Patent number: 8724307
    Abstract: An optical drive includes a drive chassis and a front panel. The drive chassis includes a single sleeve unit having a top panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, a bottom panel, and a back panel. The single sleeve unit is a single piece of material such that the top panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, the bottom panel, and the back panel are continuous. Additionally, the single piece of material is bent at an intersection of each of the top, first side, second side, bottom, and back panels. The front panel is snap fitted onto the top panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the bottom panel of the single sleeve unit of the drive chassis.
