Publication number: 20240127695Abstract: Described herein are various techniques, including a system that uses high-rate acceleration data for computing an accident score indicative of a potential collision and triggering an action in response to determining that the accident score indicates a potential collision. The system is configured to filter out undesired high-rate acceleration trigger events such as noise and harsh braking events prior to determining the accident score. The accident score is based on contexts or scores computed from high-rate acceleration data, speed, and GPS data captured by a telematics monitor deployed in a vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Geotab Inc.Inventors: Jack Graham Ellis, Willem Petersen, Sanghamesh Vastrad

Publication number: 20220322702Abstract: Use of a seaweed blend to modify gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota of an animal host. Modifying the GI microbiota may comprise modifying a community of bacteria, wherein the community of bacteria comprises Firmicutes and Bacteriodetes and the seaweed blend modifies the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteriodetes, such as increasing the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteriodetes. Further, the seaweed blend modifies specific families of commensal bacteria families including Ruminococceae and Lachnospiraceae within the Phyla Firmicutes. The seaweed blend may comprise (i) 65-80 wt % Ulva; (ii) 3-8 wt % Gracilaria; and (iii) 15-25 wt % Sargassum and/or Ascophyllum.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2020Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Graham Ellis, Jason Sands

Publication number: 20150111292Abstract: Embodiments of a process for discharging amine byproducts formed in an amine-based solvent are provided. The process comprises the steps of contacting the amine-based solvent with flue gas comprising carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, NOx, SOx, or mixtures thereof to form a carbon dioxide-laden amine-based solvent that contains the amine byproducts. Carbon dioxide is separated from the carbon dioxide-laden amine-based solvent to form a carbon dioxide-depleted amine-based solvent. The amine byproducts from the carbon dioxide-depleted amine-based solvent are fed to an algae source.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2013Publication date: April 23, 2015Applicant: UOP LLCInventors: David W. Greer, Graham Ellis, Edward P. Zbacnik, Lubo Zhou

Patent number: 8642785Abstract: The present invention relates to photolabile or photoreleasable compounds including a caging moiety linked to an effector moiety, wherein the compounds are capable of releasing the effector moiety on irradiation, typically by flash irradiation with UV light. These compounds are particularly suitable for focal 2-photon uncaging The photoreleasable compounds can be used to deliver effector moieties such as carboxylic acids, preferably, neuroactive amino acids to sites where their activity is required. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the caging moiety is based on 4-carboxymethoxy-5,7-dinitroinlinyl and derivatives thereof.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2008Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Philadelphia Health & Education CorporationInventor: Graham Ellis-Davies

Publication number: 20110226610Abstract: Inventors have developed a chromophore (nitrodibenzylfuranyl, or NBDF) for ultra efficient uncaging of a caged substrate (e.g., an organic molecule such as, for example, an amino acid, a biological molecules, such as, for example, second messengers inside cells). Photolysis of a NBDF derivative of EGTA (i.e. caged calcium) is about 50 times more efficient than others calcium cages (the quantum yield of photolysis is 0.6 and the extinction coefficient is 18,400. NDBF-EGTA has a 2-photon cross section of about 0.3-0.6 GM).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2011Publication date: September 22, 2011Applicant: Philadelphia Health & Education Corporation d/b/a Drexel University College of MedicineInventors: Graham Ellis-Davies, Atsuya Momotake
