Patent number: 10219518Abstract: A method for inhibiting methane production in the digestive tract of methanogenic Archaea (e.g., termites, other wood boring pests). The inhibiting of the critical biochemical pathways specific to the methanogenic Archaea is achieved by having the methanogenic Archaea ingest an anti-methanogenic compound.

Patent number: 10058099Abstract: The invention provides methods and materials for decontamination of surfaces and fabrics, such as non-woven fabrics, that are contaminated with infestations of microorganisms such as bacteria. Biocidal oligomers having conjugated oligo-(aryl/heteroaryl ethynyl) structures and comprising at least one cationic group can be used to decontaminate infested surfaces in the presence of oxygen and, optionally, illumination. Fibers incorporating biocidal oligomers having conjugated oligo-(aryl/heteroaryl ethynyl) structures and comprising at least one cationic group, wherein the oligomer is physically associated with or covalently bonded to, or both, the fiber-forming polymer can be used to form non-woven mats. Biocidal non-woven mats prepared by methods of the invention, incorporating the biocidal oligomers, can be used to suppress bacterial growth in wound and surgical dressings and personal hygiene products.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignees: STC.UNM, University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: David G. Whitten, Kirk S. Schanze, Eunkyung Ji, Dimitri Dascier, Anand Parthasarathy, Thomas S. Corbitt, Kirsten Cicotte, Elizabeth LeBleu Dirk, Xuzhi Zhu

Patent number: 10058429Abstract: A method and implant based on injection molding techniques. The method produces polymeric components suitable for implantation with a structure and mechanical properties close to those of natural bone tissue. In a variant, method for making an implant or component thereof includes forming a standard shape foamed blank, and over-molding a thin layer of non-foamed PEEK material onto the standard shaped foamed blank to obtain a final implant component geometry, whereby the blank is completely encapsulated by the over-molded layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Inventors: Jean-Luc Thuliez, John Nicholas Ayliffe
