20090325253METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PRODUCTION OF BIOFUELS AND BIOENERGY PRODUCTS FROM SEWAGE SLUDGE, INCLUDING RECALCITRANT SLUDGE - The present invention provides methods and systems (SLUDFUEL system) for producing biofuel and bioenergy products using, as starting raw material, municipal, industrial, and/or farm sewage sludge, including recalcitrant sludge containing high concentrations of heavy metals, and produced after waste treatment. In accordance with the invention, municipal, industrial, and farm sewage sludge, including recalcitrant sludge, can serve as a carbon source to support the metabolism of synthetic microorganisms to produce biofuels and bioenergy products.12-31-2009
20100159539METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PRODUCING BIOFUELS AND BIOENERGY PRODUCTS FROM XENOBIOTIC COMPOUNDS - The present invention provides methods and systems for producing biofuel and bioenergy products using, as starting raw material, xenobiotic materials or compounds. The xenobiotic materials or compounds may originate from industrial or chemical plants, municipal waste, pharmaceutical products, cosmetic and personal care products, or other sources, and may include aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated organic solvents and other halogenated hydrocarbons, as well as heteroaromatic compounds. In accordance with the invention, these materials act as a carbon source to support the metabolism of xenobiotic-degrading microorganisms, thereby producing biomass and/or biogas that may be converted to bioenergy products by microbial synthesis. For example, the biomass may be converted to products such as ethanol, methanol, butanol, and methane, among others. The biogas may be converted to hydrogen gas and biodiesel, among others. Thus, the present invention couples the microbial breakdown (decomposition) of xenobiotic materials with the microbial synthesis of biofuel, thereby supplying needed (inexpensive) energy products, while reducing environmental pollution and contamination, and reducing the costs associated with disposal of hazardous waste.06-24-2010
20110165639REFINERY PROCESS TO PRODUCE BIOFUELS AND BIOENERGY PRODUCTS FROM HOME AND MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE - The present invention provides methods of a process (SOLWASFUEL system) for producing biofuel and bioenergy products using, as starting raw material, home and municipal organic solid waste, including recalcitrant lignocellulosic materials of paper, cardboards, organic plastics, cellulose plants, and food waste. In accordance with the invention, home and municipal solid waste, can serve as a carbon source to support the metabolism of synthetic microorganisms to produce biofuels and bioenergy products.07-07-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120004498DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REDUCING TENSION AND STRESS IN A SUBJECT - The present invention relates to a sensory device for reducing tension in a subject. The device includes an elastic covering, a filling material inside the elastic covering, an openable sealed reservoir located within the filling, an absorbent material surrounding the reservoir, and a calming odor releasing substance sealed within the reservoir. The present invention also relates to a method of reducing tension in a subject. This method involves providing a subject in need of tension relief with the device of the present invention. The device is manipulated to break open the reservoir and release the calming odor releasing substance. The released calming odor is inhaled in an amount sufficient to lower salivary cortisol levels in the subject and thereby reduce tension in the subject.01-05-2012
