Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.
Open a STEP / STP part and it measures itself — volume, thinnest wall, draft and undercut checks on load, plus hole detection with a BOM. Measure, section, export STL. Rust + WASM B-rep kernel, runs in your browser.
In the studies, steamed glutinous rice is cooled, mixed with jiuqu starter and pressed into a jar around a central hole of about 2 cm. The sealed jar is kept at 25–30 °C for 3–4 days. Mould and yeast turn the rice into a soft, sweet, low-alcohol ferment.

In the studies, steamed glutinous rice is cooled, mixed with jiuqu starter and pressed into a jar around a central hole of about 2 cm. The sealed jar is kept at 25–30 °C for 3–4 days. Mould and yeast turn the rice into a soft, sweet, low-alcohol ferment. Made in 5 steps over 3.5 days – 5 days. The longest step, keep warm while the mould works, takes 3–4 days (Zheng Q 2026) and runs at 25–30 °C (Zheng Q 2026). Rhizopus oryzae and Rhizopus chinensis do most of the fermenting.
Jiuniang is a short ferment, 72 h at 30 °C in a sealed jar with starter at 0.4 % of the rice weight in one lab method. Its sweet liquid measured 21.29–34.51 g sugar per 100 mL and 6.95–14.72 % vol alcohol after 4 days in a study of 16 rice varieties.
Zheng et al. 2026 describe Chinese sweet rice wine as part of Chinese cultural and spiritual life for thousands of years. They say production has gradually moved from household workshops to industrial manufacturing, and that modern production mainly uses a pure culture of Rhizopus arrhizus as starter.
