David C. Weakley, Pacific, MO US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100330251High fat feed particles - The present invention includes extruded livestock feed particles comprising a high level of fat and methods of making these animal feed particles. The particles are palatable and digestible by the livestock animals and lead to an enhanced energy intake by the animals. The particles are also flowable. The method includes the use of a vacuum coater to incorporate the fat into extruded animal feed particles. The present invention also includes methods of feeding dairy cows.12-30-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090220641Selective starch feeding protocol - The present invention includes a method for improving milk production in a ruminant. An amount of ruminally digestible starch in relation to the dry matter of a feed is manipulated to include a first selected ratio of ruminally digestible starch in relation to the dry matter of the feed which is fed to the ruminant during a first time interval after parturition. After the first time interval, the amount of ruminally digestible starch component in the dry matter of the feed is adjusted to a second ratio, lower than the first ratio, and fed to the ruminant.09-03-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090210012Laminoplasty devices and methods - Laminoplasty plates are engageable to at least one portion of a divided lamina to maintain a desired spacing relative to the spinal canal. The laminoplasty plates include a spacer portion having a first end and a second end that spans a gap formed by at least one of a divided lamina portion. The laminoplasty plates can include a lamina engagement portion at one end for engagement with the divided lamina portion.08-20-2009

Thomas Craig Weakley, Simpsonville, SC US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090256762RFID ANTENNA WITH QUARTER WAVELENGTH SHUNT - An RFID antenna can include a shunt across a connector region of a length in a range of 1/6 to 1/3 of the operating wavelength of the RFID antenna. This can improve the operating characteristics of the RFID antenna.10-15-2009
20100289626RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) ENABLED INVENTORY TRAY - A tool tray can comprise a body with tool shaped recesses. A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag can be positioned in one of the recesses. The RFID tag can be such that when no tool is placed in the one of the recesses, the tag is not detectable at a reading distance; but, when a corresponding tool is placed into the one of the recesses, the RFID tag is detectable from a reading distance.11-18-2010
20110057043RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) ANTENNA WITH TUNING STUBS FOR MOUNT ON METAL RFID TAG - A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) device can comprise a dielectric separator and a RFID antenna with a RFID chip region. The antenna can have a main section and at least two tuning stubs that fold back from areas on the main section of the RFID antenna which are away from the RFID chip connection region back towards the RFID chip antenna region. The tuning stubs can be spaced away from the main section.03-10-2011
20110140866WIRELESS AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE LOG - A method of aircraft maintenance involves storing part information relating to an aircraft part on the aircraft part. The part information is wirelessly transmitting from the aircraft part to a receiver. A note of a change relating to the aircraft part is made. The part information with the note of the change relating to the aircraft part is electronically stored at a location remote from the aircraft part.06-16-2011
