Patent number: 11913006Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of producing industrial products from plant lipids, particularly from vegetative parts of plants. In particular, the present invention provides oil products such as biofuel, and processes for producing these products, as well as plants having an increased level medium chain fatty acids such as lauric acid and myristic acid. In one particular embodiment, the present invention relates to combinations of modifications in a fatty acid thioesterase and one or more acyltransferases. In an embodiment, the present invention relates to a process for extracting lipids. In another embodiment, the lipid is converted to one or more hydrocarbon products in harvested plant vegetative parts to produce alkyl esters of the fatty acids which are suitable for use as a renewable biofuel.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: NUSEED GLOBAL INNOVATION LTD.Inventors: Kyle B. Reynolds, Thomas Vanhercke, Anna El Tahchy, Qing Liu, Surinder S. Singh, James R. Petrie

Patent number: 5546803Abstract: A multisided, slightly tapered open ended scoop which effectively economizes on the amount of masonry mixture and labor necessary to install masonry paving systems. The standard is formed of simple, inexpensive sturdy construction and provides a method to efficiently scoop up and deliver a compacted, molded and measured amount of masonry mixture, with a minimum effort. The quantity of masonry mixture used can be adjusted and the density of the finished molded mixture can be adjusted for varying masonry paver installations.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1995Date of Patent: August 20, 1996Inventor: James R. Reynolds

Patent number: 5486385Abstract: An improved camouflaged product comprising an open mesh, net substrate to which is bonded a sheet material. This sheet is colored in the desired pattern and bonded to a substrate along spaced lines of attachment between adjacent lines of bonding to the net substrate. Separate lobes are formed on each side of the lines of stitching to simulate the appearance of natural objects of the terrain such as leaves or foliage and then are heated to over 400 degrees Fahrenheit to wrinkle and deluster the camouflage lobes thereby significantly enhancing camouflaged properties, such as creating a wrinkled three-dimensional effect and significantly decreasing luster.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 1995Date of Patent: January 23, 1996Assignee: Milliken Research CorporationInventors: Don M. Bylund, Howard C. Willauer, Jr., James R. Reynolds

Patent number: 5476561Abstract: Method and apparatus for developing an improved camouflaged product comprising of an open mesh, net substrate to which is bonded a sheet material. This sheet is colored in the desired pattern and bonded to a substrate along spaced lines of attachment between adjacent lines of bonding to the net substrate. In this formation, indefinite length webs of the net substrate and a continuous sheet may be combined in faced relation and stitch-bonded along spaced parallel continuous lines to form continuous parallel channels or pockets along the length of the composite material. The composite net and sheet material is passed to a cutting machine having a plurality of generally U-shaped guide members that separate and space the net substrate from the sheet. As the composite moves through the guide members, a plurality of spaced heated air cutters to reside and reciprocate slightly above the sheet to cut a generally sinuous path between the lines of the stitches.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1993Date of Patent: December 19, 1995Assignee: Milliken Research CorporationInventors: Don M. Bylund, Howard C. Willauer, Jr., James R. Reynolds

Patent number: 5370610Abstract: A multi-lumen drainage tube or catheter body includes a primary drainage lumen and separate auxiliary lumens with obstructed proximal ends wherein the tube may be used a simple, single lumen drainage tube, a two lumen drainage tube or a three lumen drainage tube by removal of one or both of the obstructions from the proximal ends of the auxiliary lumens and connection of the lumen openings at the proximal end of the drainage tube to the corresponding single or multi-lumen adaptor.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 1993Date of Patent: December 6, 1994Inventor: James R. Reynolds

Patent number: 5281451Abstract: A lightweight composite camouflage construction having an open mesh net substrate, and a continuous sheet overlying the substrate and bonded thereto along plural spaced lines of attachment. The sheet is cut on opposite sides of the lines of attachment to form a plurality of lobes simulating the appearance of natural objects of a terrain, the sheet being color patterned in a desired coloration camouflage. The fabric is heated and the lobes folded and creased to increase the openness of the fabric.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1992Date of Patent: January 25, 1994Assignee: Milliken Research CorporationInventor: James R. Reynolds

Patent number: 5261978Abstract: Method and apparatus for the manufacture of a composite camouflage construction having an open mesh net substrate, and a continuous sheet overlying the substrate and bonded thereto along plural spaced lines of attachment, with lobes of the sheet cut to simulate the appearance of leaves and foliage. Apparatus and method includes a sewing station for stitching the sheet along plural spaced lines of attachment to the substrate to form open-ended pockets or channels between the sheet and substrate. The cutting station spaces the sheet from the substrate and a heated cutting wire reciprocates between adjacent lines of stitches to cut the sheet, open the channel, and use a series of loose lobes simultating the appearance of natural objects of a terrain, the fabric is then heated to cause the lobes to shrink and fall out of the plane of the fabric and are folded and creased to increase the openness of the fabric.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1992Date of Patent: November 16, 1993Assignee: Milliken Research CorporationInventor: James R. Reynolds

Patent number: 5069735Abstract: Apparatus and method to provide sealed edge products with a reduced tendency to lint and ravel by supplying a hot air jet in the range of 600.degree.-800.degree. F. to melt and swell the fibers to lock the warp yarns in the fabric. The hot air jet is directed perpendicular to the warp yarns and parallel to the fill yarns in the sealed edge product.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1990Date of Patent: December 3, 1991Assignee: Milliken Research CorporationInventor: James R. Reynolds
-
Patent number: 4194540Abstract: A water jet loom in which heat generated by the vacuum source blower is recycled to the fabric heater to reduce the amount of auxiliary heat needed to dry the fabric as it passes to the take-up roll.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1978Date of Patent: March 25, 1980Assignee: Milliken Research CorporationInventor: James R. Reynolds

Patent number: 4183318Abstract: A machine to process fabric knit in tubular form which includes apparatus to lay down a stripe of a gumming composition to allow the tubular fabric to be slit in the center of the solidified gumming stripe. The slit knit fabric is then opened up to full width and taken up. The tubular knit goods are conveyed through the gumming and slitting operation by a four belt conveying system which allows the lengthwise tension and the width of the tubular fabric to be controlled.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 1978Date of Patent: January 15, 1980Assignee: Milliken Research CorporationInventor: James R. Reynolds

Patent number: 3933090Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for efficiently and automatically cutting a length of tubing into a shorter length or lengths of tubes. The apparatus includes automatic devices to actuate and deactuate the tube cutters as well as printers used to code the cut tube lengths.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1974Date of Patent: January 20, 1976Assignee: Deering Milliken Research CorporationInventor: James R. Reynolds
