Patent number: 10934565Abstract: This invention relates to the production of succinic acid and other chemicals derived from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) by fermentation with a microorganism in which the fermentation medium contains one or more sugars, and in which one or more of the sugars is imported into the cell by facilitated diffusion. As a specific example, succinic acid is produced from a glucose-containing renewable feedstock through fermentation using a biocatalyst. Examples of such a biocatalyst include microorganisms that have been enhanced in their ability to utilize glucose as a carbon and energy source. The biocatalysts of the present invention are derived from the genetic manipulation of parental strains that were originally constructed with the goal to produce one or more chemicals (for example succinic acid and/or a salt of succinic acid) at a commercial scale using feedstocks that include, for example, glucose, fructose, or sucrose.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: PTT GLOBAL CHEMICAL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: R.

Patent number: 9894689Abstract: Example systems, methods, and logic are provided herein for detecting a numerical identifier of an endpoint. In one example, a connectivity manager establishes a wireless communication session with a fixed endpoint using a wireless communication protocol. The connectivity manager module then generates a Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) request to download a phone number associated with the fixed endpoint. The connectivity manager module receives, via the wireless communication session, a PBAP response comprising a phone number identifying the fixed endpoint and inputs the phone number identifying the fixed endpoint into a field used for initiating a call to the fixed endpoint.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Junhua Ma, Bo Lei, Zhigang Peng, Yanhui Wang, Xiaohui Yu

Patent number: 9845513Abstract: This invention relates to the production of chemicals by fermentation with a microorganism in which the fermentation medium contains the sugar sucrose. As a specific example, succinic acid is produced from a sucrose-containing renewable feedstock through fermentation using a biocatalyst. Examples of such a biocatalyst include microorganisms that have been enhanced in their ability to utilize sucrose as a carbon and energy source. The biocatalysts of the present invention are derived from the genetic manipulation of parental strains that were originally constructed with the goal to produce one or more chemicals (for example succinic acid and/or a salt of succinic acid) at a commercial scale using feedstocks other than sucrose. The genetic manipulations of the present invention involve the introduction of exogenous genes involved in the transport and metabolism of sucrose into the parental strains.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2011Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Myriant CorporationInventors: Sudhandshu Dole, R.
