20090275787Alcohol Production Process - The invention relates to methods for the production of alcohols by microbial fermentation, particularly microbial fermentation of substrates comprising glycerol and/or acetate, to butanol.11-05-2009
20100105115ALCOHOL PRODUCTION PROCESS - The invention relates to biological processes for producing one or more desired products, including alcohols such as ethanol and butanol. The processes comprise carrying out first and second fermentations of substrates in first and second bioreactors, wherein each fermentation produces one or more desired products and/or one or more by-products that can be utilised in the other fermentation. A product and/or by-product of the first fermentation is introduced to the second bioreactor during the fermentation, and a product and/or by-product of the second fermentation is introduced to the first bioreactor during the fermentation.04-29-2010
20110059499MICROBIAL ALCOHOL PRODUCTION PROCESS - The invention relates to the production of alcohols by microbial fermentation, particularly to production of alcohols by microbial fermentation of substrates comprising CO. It more particularly relates to processes for the production of alcohols from their corresponding acids in the presence of a substrate comprising CO. In particular embodiments, a fermentation reaction producing acid(s) and optionally alcohol(s) is perturbed such that at least a portion one or more of acid(s) is converted to alcohol.03-10-2011
20110212433ALCOHOL PRODUCTION PROCESS - The invention relates to the production of products such as alcohols and acids by microbial fermentation, particularly microbial fermentation of substrates comprising CO. It more particularly relates to methods and systems for improving efficiency of production products by microbial fermentation. In particular embodiments, the invention provides a method of controlling substrate supply, such that production of desired metabolites is optimised.09-01-2011
20110281336METHODS OF SUSTAINING CULTURE VIABILITY - The present invention relates to methods for sustaining a microbial culture during periods of limited substrate supply. In accordance with the methods of the invention a microbial culture comprising carboxydotrophic bacteria can be sustained during periods of limited substrate supply by maintaining the temperature of the microbial culture at a temperature below an optimum operating temperature.11-17-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090192731System and Method for Monitoring a Health State of Hydrocarbon Production Equipment - A device for monitoring the health state of hydrocarbon production equipment is disclosed. The device has a plurality of targets, which are associated with the hydrocarbon production equipment. A record of the initial target positions and/or dimensions relative to the hydrocarbon production equipment is created. A sensor that is compatible with the targets is used to observe the targets and produce a sensor output. An analysis device uses the record of the initial positions, dimensions and the sensor output to determine one or more health state parameters, which may be used to determine the health state of the hydrocarbon production equipment.07-30-2009

20080266818Scanning module for a scanner system having a MEMS device or the like - Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a scanning module for a scanner system comprises a frame having a first section and a second section. The first section of the frame is capable of receiving a laser to secure the laser in the first section, and the second section of the frame is capable of receiving a MEMS device having a mirror, to secure the MEMS device in the first section. The laser is aligned with the mirror by the frame to cause light emitted from the laser to impinge upon the mirror during operation of the laser. Such an arrangement may facilitate the physical and/or electrical assembly of the components of the scanner system.10-30-2008
