  • Patent number: 11973744
    Abstract: Described in detail herein is a system for determining the validity of a transaction in a distributed network environment. The system includes a plurality of peer servers. The system elects a set of peer leaders from the plurality of peer servers. The set of peer leaders broadcast a first set of indices associated with a first subset of transactions, received from the plurality of peer servers, to one or more of the plurality of peer servers. The set of elected peer leaders execute a first instance of a binary agreement protocol based at least in part on a second subset of indices associated with a second subset of the transactions. The set of elected peer leaders output a consensus vector comprising one or more of the transactions.

  • Publication number: 20230085986
    Abstract: A method for catalytic asymmetric synthesis of a phosphorus-stereogenic (P-stereogenic) nucleoside derivative of formula (3) and a catalyst used therein. The P-stereogenic nucleoside derivative (3) can be hydrolyzed to obtain remdesivir. Specifically, a nucleoside and phosphoryl chloride are subjected to asymmetric reaction under the catalysis of a chiral bicyclic imidazole catalyst in the presence of a base to produce the P-stereogenic nucleoside derivative.

  • Patent number: 10530049
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cable structure, a power cord structure and an electrical device. The cable structure includes: a power cord, a shell arranged on the power cord, and an antenna arranged in the shell. Because the antenna is arranged in the shell and does not need to be exposed to the outside, it works in a good environment and can be protected from being damaged easily and, thereby guaranteeing the working reliability and stability of the antenna. Because the shell is arranged on the power cord, the electrical device does not need to be provided with additional antenna devices, thereby improving the overall appearance, convenience for carrying and the user experience. The shell is arranged on the power cord, the position of the shell can be at the middle, the front or different positions depending on requirements of the power cord, therefore satisfying different user needs.

  • Patent number: 10370323
    Abstract: A method for preparing chiral ?-secondary amino alcohol includes: adding into a solvent an acid addition salt of ?-secondary amino ketone represented by general formula (1), an alkali, a metal salt additive and a diphosphine-rhodium complex, so as to carry out a reaction in a hydrogen atmosphere and obtain a chiral ?-secondary amino alcohol compound represented by general formula (2). In general formula (2), Ar represents an aryl group with or without substituent group(s), R represents an alkyl group or an aralkyl group, and HY represents an acid. The synthesis scheme has a simple process, the metal salt additive remarkably improves the effect of a rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation technology, and accordingly, the reaction yield and the optical purity of a product are improved, the production process is simplified, production costs are reduced, and the synthesis scheme is highly suitable for mass industrial production.

  • Publication number: 20190074638
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a power cord plug, a power cord structure and an electrical device for a power cord, and the power cord plug includes: a shell, and a communication device and an antenna arranged in the shell. According to the power cord plug provided by the present disclosure, as the communication device and the antenna are arranged in the shell of the power cord plug, the communication device is far away from the electrical device, so the communication ability of the communication device will not be shielded by the metal shell of the electrical device, and will not be affected by a motor, a circuit board, coils, a magnetron and other factors in the electrical device, or affected by the high temperature caused by the operation of the equipment, accordingly the communication device works in a good environment, and the working reliability and stability of the communication device are guaranteed.
