Integrated biofuel production system
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-04-10)
According to an embodiment, a biomass conversion subsystem produces methane and/or alcohol and residual biomass. A pyrolysis or a gasification subsystem is used to produce thermal energy and/or process gasses. The thermal ...
Method for heat recovery from pre-treated biomass
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-03-20)
According to one embodiment, a method for heat treatment of a biomass includes allowing biomass in a pretreatment reactor to undergo a pre-treatment reaction process. The pre-treatment reaction process yields pretreated ...
Antibodies recognizing a highly expressed putative antigen of CA-MRSA and methods of use
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-02-28)
The present invention provides MSCRAMM® proteins from S. aureus which are putative highly-expressed antigens from methicillin-resistant S. aureus, including communit-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA), and these antigens can thus ...
Jitter cancellation method for continuous-time sigma-delta modulators
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-04-24)
A continuous-time delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is disclosed. The ADC includes a loop filter, a loop quantizer, and a clock-jitter tolerant digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The clock-jitter tolerant DAC ...
Phase drift compensation for sampled signals
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-04-17)
Methods for processing a signal of interest in an electrical power system are provided, as well as systems and computer program products for carrying out the methods. The methods include obtaining a representative window ...
System and method for implementing an oscillator
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-02-21)
In one embodiment, a system for generating an oscillating signal includes a transconductance amplifier comprising a single-ended output and a differential input. The system also includes only one feedback loop coupled to ...
Intercalation agent free compositions useful to make nanocomposite polymers
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-02-14)
A method for preparing a filler composition useful for preparing a nanocomposite polymer is provided. The method includes a first step of dispersing a water dispersible filler material in a liquid comprising water to form ...
Breed-specific haplotypes for polled phenotypes in cattle
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-01-31)
The presence of horns within commercial cattle populations increases the chances of injuries. The Polled (hornless) condition in cattle has existed since domestication, and it has been selected by breeders because of its ...
Distributed joint source-channel coding of video using raptor codes
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-11-20)
A video encoder system includes a base layer and an enhancement layer for encoding video data. The base layer encodes a reduced quality version of the video data to obtain base layer data. The enhancement layer encodes the ...
Alternative paths to alcohols and hydrocarbons from biomass
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-07-31)
A method of producing alcohols, hydrocarbons, or both from biomass by converting biomass into a carboxylic acid, reacting the carboxylic acid with an olefin to produce an ester and hydrogenolyzing the ester to produce ...
