  • Publication number: 20250084124
    Abstract: An improved dry grind method and system of alcohol and/or biochemical production for increasing the yield and/or purity of protein and/or oil in facilities that produce alcohol (e.g., ethanol) from corn or other cereal grains. In one embodiment, the method includes membrane filtration of a liquid portion from a high protein slurry that has been separated into the liquid portion and a high protein wet cake portion initially derived from a whole stillage byproduct. The liquid portion may be cooled in a heat exchanger to a temperature suitable for a desired membrane filter. Solids, dissolved proteins, and oils are separated by the membrane and concentrated in a retentate stream. Low molecular weight dissolved solids pass through the membrane as permeate. The proteins and oil from the retentate are returned to prior separation equipment that produced the high protein slurry and will be separated by said equipment increasing protein and/or oil yields and/or purity.

  • Publication number: 20250082530
    Abstract: A time-based wireless pairing operation between a medical device, such as a patient bed, and a wall module in a patient room is initiated in response to a power plug of the medical device being plugged into a power receptacle carried by the wall module. Times determined by timers of the medical device and the wall module are compared by the wall module or by the medical device so that wireless pairing occurs only with the medical device that was plugged into the wall module. Different types of plug detectors used in the wall module to detect connection of the power plug include optical detectors, mechanical switches, and current sensors.
