Publication number: 20250313497Abstract: A process of making a fuel product as an additive from a non-auto-combustible high protein organic material for the destruction of hazardous compounds including polyfluoro compounds in a thermal process system is provided. Thermal reactions within thermal reaction equipment are controlled by controlling the moisture and oxygen in the reaction atmosphere of the equipment and energy inputs at or downstream of a thermal reaction chamber. The concentration of protein thermal decomposition by-products, temperature, and residence time and/or additions of energy within the thermal reaction equipment environment are controlled to destroy hazardous compounds.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2025Publication date: October 9, 2025Applicant: AKBEV GROUP, LLCInventors: Geoffrey L.

Patent number: 12165271Abstract: Described are systems and method directed to generation of a dimensionally accurate three-dimensional (“3D”) model of a body, such as a human body, based on two-dimensional (“2D”) images of that body. A user may use a 2D camera, such as a digital camera typically included in many of today's portable devices (e.g., cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) and obtain a series of 2D body images of their body from different views with respect to the camera. The 2D body images may then be used to generate a plurality of predicted body parameters corresponding to the body represented in the 2D body images. Those predicted body parameters may then be further processed to generate a dimensionally accurate 3D model or avatar of the body of the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2022Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Amit Kumar Agrawal, Brandon Michael Smith, Visesh Uday Kumar Chari, JinJin Li, Ram Sever, Prakash Ramu, Sunil Sharadchandra Hadap, Apoorv Chaudhri

Patent number: 12141924Abstract: Described are systems and methods directed to a body change journey that utilizes one or more current body measurement values, one or more goal body measurement values, and a cohort to determine a body change journey that a user can follow to progress from the current body measurement value to the goal body measurement value. The cohort may include a plurality of data of other bodies who have progressed from a starting body measurement value that is similar to the current body measurement value.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2022Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Antonio Criminisi, Brandon Michael Smith, Ridge Carpenter, Durga Venkata Kiran Yakkala, Noam Sorek

Patent number: 11866669Abstract: A process of making a fuel product from a non-combustible high protein organic material such as a biological by-product or waste material. The moisture content of the high protein organic material is mechanically reduced and dried to reduce the moisture content to less than ten percent (10%). The high protein organic material is pulverized to a particle size of less than about 2 mm. The high protein organic waste material is fed into a combustion chamber and separated during combustion such as by spraying high protein organic waste material within the combustion chamber. Temperature and combustion reactions within the combustion chamber are controlled by controlling the moisture in the combustion atmosphere and energy injections at or downstream of the combustion chamber. The concentration of protein thermal decomposition by-products, temperature, and residence time and/or additions of energy plasma within the combustion chamber environment are controlled to degrade hazardous polyfluoro compounds.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: AKBEV GROUP, LLCInventors: Geoffrey L Larson, Curtis Holmes, Brandon Michael Smith, David D.

Patent number: 11854146Abstract: Described are systems and methods directed to generation of a dimensionally accurate three-dimensional (“3D”) model of a body, such as a human body, based on two-dimensional (“2D”) images of at least a portion of that body. A user may use a 2D camera, such as a digital camera typically included in many of today's portable devices (e.g., cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) and obtain a series of 2D body images of at least a portion of their body from different views with respect to the camera.

Patent number: 11836853Abstract: Described are systems and methods directed to generation of a personalized three-dimensional (“3D”) body model of a body, such as a human body, based on two-dimensional (“2D”) images of that body and the generation and presentation of predicted personalized 3D body models of the body when one or more body measurements (e.g., body fat, body weight, muscle mass) are changed. For example, a user may provide a target body measurement value and the implementations will generate one or more predicted personalized 3D body models representative of a predicted appearance of the body with the target body measurement value.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Amit Kumar Agrawal, Jinjin Li, Rohith Mysore Vijaya Kumar, Dylan John Drover, Brandon Michael Smith, Prakash Ramu, Ram Sever, Apoorv Chaudhri, Visesh Uday Kumar Chari, Sunil Sharadchandra Hadap, Rajesh Gautam
