  • Publication number: 20230129496
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for increasing content of nutritional components of winged bean pods and an application thereof, which belongs to the technical field of deep processing of agricultural products. The method provided in the present disclosure comprises the following steps: (1) soaking a winged bean pod in water and mixing with an aqueous sodium chloride solution, and then steaming to obtain a softened pod; and (2) treating the softened pod with an alkaline substance or an acidic substance or cellulase. The present disclosure uses physical, chemical, and biological treatment methods to process the winged bean pods, and aims to find a method to increase the content of nutritional components of the pods and the palatability of animals, in order to better apply the pods to feed.

  • Patent number: 6188210
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the soft start of linear regulators for controlling inrush current. In linear regulators having a pass transistor controlled by a regulator control circuit, the regulator control circuit is disabled until the regulator output reaches a predetermined threshold level. On startup, an additional transistor is coupled with a resistor and capacitor to the control terminal of the pass transistor in such a way as to provide for the slow turn-on of the pass transistor. During this time, the control circuit for the pass transistor is held inoperative. After the regulator output reaches a predetermined threshold, the pass transistor control circuit becomes operative and the slow start circuitry becomes inoperative.
