Patents by Inventor Cody Bond

Cody Bond has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10551060
    Abstract: Systems and processes of providing novel thermal energy sources for hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) reactors are described herein. According to various implementations, the systems and processes use concentrated solar thermal energy from a focused high-energy beam to provide sufficient energy for driving the HTL biomass-to-biocrude process. In addition, other implementations convert biowaste, such as municipal biosolids and grease and food waste, to biocrude using anaerobic digesters, and a portion of the biogas generated by the digesters is used to produce the thermal and/or electrical energy used in the HTL reactor for the biomass-to-biocrude process. Furthermore, alternative implementations may include a hybrid system that uses biogas and solar radiation to provide sufficient thermal energy for the HTL reactor.

  • Patent number: 9311285
    Abstract: Curating chat transcripts into webpages. In one example embodiment, a method of curating chat transcripts into webpages includes generating a transcript of a chat, selecting the chat transcript for curation, curating the chat transcript by adding preferable information to the chat transcript and/or deleting non-preferable information from the chat transcript, and publishing the curated chat transcript as a webpage.
