Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for deinking wastepaper by combined use of cutinase and chemical reagents, which relates to the field of enzyme engineering. The method comprises the following steps: pulp preparation, enzymatic hydrolysis, pulp washing and dewatering, and flotation. The enzyme for enzymatic hydrolysis is cutinase at a concentration of 10-20 U/g absolute dry pulp; and 0.5-4% Na2SiO3, 0.1-0.8% MgSO4, 0.1-0.8% EDTA, 0.1-4% H2O2 are used in the chemical treatment. With combined use of enzymatic and chemical treatment, the present invention has solved the problem of the current enzymatic method for deinking that requires large dosage of enzymes and thus high cost. Through proper choice of the kind and the amount of chemical reagents, synergistic effects of the enzymatic and chemical treatment can be achieved, thus increasing the effectiveness of the deinking process. In addition, this method does not require alkaline chemicals, which alleviates the problem of sewage treatment associated with conventional deinking methods.
Abstract:
In a method of managing 3D video stream, 3D video stream is output to a connected display. The connected display displays the 3D video stream after a delay associated with the connected display. A timing offset is determined based on the delay. The timing offset is operable to be used to synchronize shutter operations of at least one shutter glasses with the presentation of the 3D video stream. A shutter control signal based on a frame start indication from the 3D video stream is transmitted. The frame start indication is operable to be used to determine a frame rate of the 3D video stream, and the shutter control signal is operable to be used to maintain synchronization of the shutter operations of the at least one shutter glasses with the presentation of the 3D video stream at the connected display.
Abstract:
An error resilience method comprising: using a computer, creating and storing, in computer memory, one or more FEC filter tables for use by the FEC filter for selectively forwarding a FEC packet; selectively forwarding a request for the FEC packet through a FEC filter based on the FEC table and a dynamic packet loss level at a receiver; limiting a re-transmission request for a particular packet through the FEC filter based on a number of re-transmission requests for the particular packet; and selectively skipping a key frame request based on a number of key frame requests received from a plurality receiver devices, wherein the method is performed by one or more special-purpose computing devices.
Abstract:
A method and system for providing a magnetic junction residing on a substrate and usable in a magnetic device are described. The magnetic junction includes a first pinned layer, a first nonmagnetic spacer layer having a first thickness, a free layer, a second nonmagnetic spacer layer having a second thickness greater than the first thickness, and a second pinned layer. The first nonmagnetic spacer layer resides between the pinned layer and the free layer. The first pinned layer resides between the free layer and the substrate. The second nonmagnetic spacer layer is between the free layer and the second pinned layer. Further, the magnetic junction is configured such that the free layer is switchable between a plurality of stable magnetic states when a write current is passed through the magnetic junction.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of bioengineering and discloses a cutinase-producing genetically engineered microorganism and use thereof. Recombinant plasmid Tfu_0883-hlyAs/pET20b(+) was constructed and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) to obtain recombinant E. coli strain Tfu_0883-hlyAs/pET20b(+)/E. coli BL21(DE3). Specific growth rate was maintained at a certain value using fed-batch fermentation mode. After fermenting 30-34 hours, the enzyme activity in the supernatant reached 700-750 U/mL. The present invention uses glycerol as the main raw material and employs semi-synthetic medium, has the advantages of good stability and ease of control, and is suitable for large-scale production.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a perceptual video coder obtains local video content, and calculates a feature index for each of one or more features of a video unit of the local video content. Each feature index is then directly mapped to a delta quantization parameter (QP) using a linear fractional model that explicitly establishes a relation between the delta QP and a Human Visual System (HVS) insensitivity index, e.g., where the delta QP is set based on a comparison between a local strength of the HVS insensitivity index and an overall strength of a particular frame of the local video content. Accordingly, a QP of an adaptive quantization may be refined by adding to it each delta QP, such that adaptive quantization may be performed on the video unit based on the refined QP.
