Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110197541Light gauge metal zee clip - This invention is a piece of sheet metal bent into a Z shape. It has integral U shaped tabs at each end of the Z shaped clip. The tabs are created by having the bottom portion of the Z extend 6 to 8 inches longer than the middle and top portions. This longer flat portion is then double bent away from the middle portion to form U shaped tabs. The tabs wrap around the two opposing flanges of a steel bar joist, I-beam or H-column and hold the Z shaped clip onto the bar joist, I-beam or column. The Z clip can be installed prior to spray applied fireproofing used in structural steel buildings. It subsequently provides a connection point for metal stud walls and other materials or equipment that need to be supported by the steel structure at a specific distance away from the bar joist, I-beam or column.08-18-2011

20100155313System and method for thermophilic anaerobic digester process - A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to support an environmentally-friendly, “green” thermophilic anaerobic digestion system. The system includes a thermophilic anaerobic digester as well as various independent modular anaerobic units to generate bio-methane from certain organic energy sources, including but not limited to, among other things, green municipal waste, restaurant and organic waste and effluents from industries such as breweries, grocery stores, food processing plants, granaries, wineries, pulp and paper mills, ethanol and biodiesel plants, fat and animal rendering, agricultural field crops, organic sludge accumulation within lagoons and waterways, marine organic matter and animal manure.06-24-2010
