Patent GB-2594692-A (GB)
Title: Process
Inventor: ROBERT IAN JOHNSON
IPC: C12R1/77
Filed: 2020-03-10
Abstract: A fermentation process for producing ethanol using a filamentous Fusarium fungus, for example Fusarium venenatum, comprises a step of removing ethanol from the culture medium during fermentation, thereby enabling the fermentation process to run more efficiently by preventing excessive concentrations of ethanol in the culture medium. Apparatus for carrying out this fermentation is provided. For example, a stirred reactor 2 comprises a fermentation broth which is circulated to a membrane module 10. Module 10 is arranged so ethanol permeates through a relatively hydrophobic membrane of the module. Vapour is evaporated downstream and passes (reference numeral 12) to a cold trap 14. The upstream side of the membrane is at ambient pressure and a vacuum is applied to the downstream side of the membrane by vacuum pump 16. Liquid ethanol can be led away from the apparatus as represented by numeral 18. In the process, the membrane acts as a selective barrier between two phases: the liquid-phase fermentation broth and the vapour-phase ethanol permeate. The broth is recycled, after passing through the module 10 to the reactor 2.

Title: Fast collision free path generation by connecting C-slices through cell decomposition
Inventor: QIANLI MA
IPC: G06T7/70
Filed: 2021-09-21
Abstract: The application describes techniques for collision free path generation by connecting C-slices through cell decomposition. An environment is sampled at discrete headings of a vehicle to generate a configuration space (C-space) with one or more C-slices. A first C-slice is decomposed into one or more cells that represent free space. A C-slice adjacency list is generated for the first C-slice and a super adjacency list is derived that connects vertices of interest across the one or more C-slices to form a super adjacency graph. In embodiments, Dubins path is used for connecting the vertices of interest both within and across C-slices to ensure the kinematic feasibility of all the searched paths. An optimal path is navigated, wherein the optimal path is a shortest path from a starting pose to a goal pose on the super adjacency graph.
