Patent number: 10899544Abstract: Yeast cells are genetically modified to disrupt a native metabolic pathway from dihydroxyacetone to glycerol. In certain aspects, the yeast cell is of the genera Kluyveromyces, Candida or Issatchenkia. In other aspects, the yeast cell is capable of producing at least one organic acid, such as lactate. The yeast cells produce significantly less glycerol than the wild-type strains, and usually produce greater yields of desired fermentation products. Yeast cells of the invention often grow well when cultivated, despite their curtailed glycerol production.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: CARGILL, INCORPORATEDInventors: Catherine Asleson Dundon, Pirrko Suominen, Aristos Aristidou, Brian J. Rush, Kari Koivuranta, Benjamin Matthew Hause, Thomas William McMullin, Kevin Roberg-Perez

Publication number: 20160256660Abstract: A method of an apparatus control pressure in the patient interface. A vent valve may be used with a respiratory device, where the vent valve may selectively block fluid communication between components, such as the flow generator, the patient interface, and/or the vent. An expiratory flow model may be used to determine an expiratory characteristic such as an expiratory flow rate or pressure in the patient interface where an indicative measure may not be available. The expiratory flow model may receive inputs based on a measure of the patient's respiration, such as the tidal volume, peak inspiratory flow rate or length of inspiration. The expiratory characteristic may be used by a controller to control a pressure in the patient interface to provide respiratory therapy to a patient at or close to a target pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2014Publication date: September 8, 2016Applicant: ResMed LimitedInventors: Benjamin Matthew Austin, Liam Holley
