Patent number: 8591733Abstract: The disclosed apparatus for extracting material from liquid comprises a transport member comprising at least one continuous loop configured to pass through a continuous orbit. The material adheres to at least a portion of the continuous loop and a scraping member urges against a portion of the continuous loop to remove at least some of the material. The apparatus can be a harvester that includes a frame. A first conveyor drum for engaging the transport member can be supported at the first end of the frame. A second conveyor drum can be supported adjacent the second end of the frame and also engage the transport member. The continuous loop can extend between the first conveyor drum and the second conveyor drum and frictionally engage at least a portion of each of the respective outer surfaces the drums.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Desert Lake Technologies, LLCInventors: Howard W. Newman, John Lowell Bowers, Jordan D. Jones

Patent number: 8414881Abstract: Consumption of blue-green algae, or extracts thereof, enhances trafficking or homing of stem cells in animals by inducing a transient increase in the population of stem cells present in the animal's circulatory system. The animal may be healthy or suffering some disease or physiological condition.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2011Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Desert Lake Technologies, LLCInventors: Gitte S.

Patent number: 8287740Abstract: Apparatus for extracting a material from a body of liquid and methods therefore are disclosed. A transport member comprises at least one continuous loop configured to pass through a continuous orbit. The material sufficiently adheres to at least a portion of the at least one continuous loop. A scraping member urges against at least a portion of the continuous loop for removing at least some of any of the material adhered to the continuous loop. Such an apparatus can be a harvester that includes a frame having a first end and a second end. A first conveyor drum can be supported by the frame adjacent the first end and can have an outer surface for engaging the transport member. A second conveyor drum can be supported adjacent the second end and can have an outer surface for engaging the transport member.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2009Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Desert Lake Technologies, LLCInventors: Howard W. Newman, John Lowell Bowers, Jordan D. Jones

Patent number: 7947284Abstract: Disclosed herein are extracts of blue green algae, such as Aphanizomenon flos aquae, that are enriched for a selectin ligand, such as an L-selectin ligand. Selectin ligands isolated from blue-green algae cells are disclosed herein. Methods are described for isolating these selectin ligands. The purified selectin ligands are of use in inducing stem cell mobilization in a subject. Thus, methods for inducing stem cell isolation that include administering a therapeutically effective amount of the extract enriched form the selectin ligand, or an isolated selectin ligand, are disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2009Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: Desert Lake TechnologiesInventors: Gitte S. Jensen, Christian Drapeau
