Jan Nuyens 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).

  • Particle size reduction of bioactive compounds
    Patent number: 7666307
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for reducing the average size of biologically active compound particles or agglomerates suspended in a fluid by flowing one or more times said fluid having biologically active compound particles or agglomerates suspended therein through one or more magnetic fields to reduce the average size of a substantial portion of the biologically active compound particles or agglomerates by at least 25%. This method may be incorporated into a process for manufacturing a 10 biologically active compound formulation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 25, 2004
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2010
    Assignee: K.U. Leuven Research & Development
    Inventors: Guy Van Den Mooter, Johan Martens, Jan Nuyens
  • Method for preparing emulsions
    Patent number: 7629390
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for the emulsification of a pre-mix of two or more immiscible liquids by flowing or circulating one or more times said pre-mix through one or more magnetic fields.
