Abstract:
Disclosed is linoleic acid isomerases and their application in production of conjugated linoleic acid, which belongs to the technical fields of protein engineering and microbial engineering. The linoleic acid isomerase derived from Bifidobacterium is used to produce the conjugated linoleic acid. The recombinant E. coli containing the linoleic acid isomerase of the invention is added into a reaction system containing linoleic acid and react for 3 h to produce conjugated linoleic acids. The conversion rate of the conjugated linoleic acid of the invented method ranges from 12.1% to 42.1%, and the percentage of cis9, trans11-CLA in the conjugated linoleic acid can reach 84.3% to 89.1%. The invention provides a method for using microorganisms to produce conjugated linoleic acids with high safety and yield where cis9, trans11-CLA isomer is the major form in the conjugated linoleic acid products.
Abstract:
The present application provides a pixel and a control method thereof and a related OLED display. The present application could utilize the driving TFT having a main gate and a sub-gate and utilize the internal compensation to store the threshold voltage of the driving TFT into the second storage capacitor. In addition, the data voltage is applied to the first storage capacitor. The driving TFT is controlled by the main gate and the sub-gate to drive the light emitting unit to generate light. Because the threshold voltage of the second storage capacitor is applied to the driving TFT, the current flowing to the driving TFT and the threshold voltage are unrelated.

Abstract:
Mechanisms are provided for determining the location of computing assets within an organization. These mechanisms determine first location information identifying a location of at least one first physical asset housing in a predetermined physical area of the organization relative to a predetermined coordinate system, and second location information identifying a location of at least one second physical asset housing within the at least one first asset housing. The mechanisms automatically determine third location information identifying a location of at least one computing asset within the at least one second physical asset housing. In addition, the mechanisms generate an asset location map data structure for the organization based on the first, second and third location information. The mechanisms also perform at least one management operation for managing resources of the organization, based on the asset location map data structure for the organization.
Abstract:
A downhole coring tool conveyable within a borehole extending into a subterranean formation, wherein the downhole coring tool comprises a housing, a hollow coring bit extendable from the housing, a first motor operable to rotate the coring bit, and a second motor operable to extend the coring bit into the subterranean formation through a sidewall of the borehole in a direction not substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the borehole proximate the downhole coring tool. A static sleeve disposed in but rotationally independent of the coring bit receives a portion of a core sample of the formation resulting from extension of the coring bit into the formation. The static sleeve comprises a protrusion extending radially inward toward the core sample sufficiently to mark the core sample.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for power-efficiency management in a virtualized cluster system. The virtualized cluster system includes a front-end physical host and at least one back-end physical host, and each of the at least one back-end physical host comprises at least one virtual machine and a virtual machine manager. Flow characteristics of the virtualized cluster system are detected at a regular time cycle, then a power-efficiency management policy is generated for each of the at least one back-end physical host based on the detected flow characteristics, and finally the power-efficiency management policies are performed. The method can detect the real-time flow characteristics of the virtualized cluster system and make the power-efficiency management policies thereupon to control the power consumption of the system and perform admission control on the whole flow, thereby realizing optimal power saving while meeting the quality of service requirements.
Abstract:
A method for real-time computation of point-by-point apodization coefficients used for beam-forming includes storing apodization coefficients of receiving focus points in memory, and computing at least one of an included angle between a vector from a transducer element to a receiving point and a normal vector of the transducer element, and a trigonometric function value of the included angle. The method also includes addressing the memory storing the apodization coefficients according to the quantized included angle or trigonometric function value, and reading the apodization coefficients. In one embodiment, the method may include computing in advance apodization coefficients of a receiving focus point as the starting point for the subsequent interpolation operation and another receiving focus point as the ending point, and deriving, for each receiving channel, apodization coefficients of the points situated between these two receiving focus points through an interpolation operation.
