Publication number: 20220329144Abstract: The present invention relates to a self-contained and powered electric energy generator system. The energy generator system comprises a pair of generators designed to provide power to an external item, and wherein one of the generators is also configured to provide input power to an integrated AC motor. The AC motor is connected to a flywheel, which stores kinetic energy from the rotation of the AC motor. Then, the generators produce electricity by converting the stored kinetic energy into electrical energy. The generator system does not need fuel or external sources for generating electricity, and accordingly is cost efficient and environmentally friendly.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2021Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Ransey Harvey, Christopher Burke

Patent number: 10729156Abstract: Exosome purification methods involve use of a whey composition as an exosome source. Exosomes are isolated by subjecting the whey composition to a first ultrafiltration, which yields a first permeate and a first retentate. The first retentate may then be subjected to a second ultrafiltration, yielding a second permeate and a second retentate. During the second ultrafiltration, the first retentate may be treated with carbon dioxide. The second retentate may then be subjected to a third ultrafiltration, yielding a third permeate and a third retentate. The third permeate may then be optionally dried to yield an exosome powder.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: PURINA ANIMAL NUTRITION LLCInventors: Hasmukh Ambalal Patel, Samantha Steelman, Ravin Gnanasambandam, Benjamin R. Trible, Nathan Christopher Burke

Patent number: 9797552Abstract: A single-wire safety system architecture is provided that yields reliable safety device monitoring without the need for dual redundant signal channels. The safety system comprises a safety relay acting as a communications master device and one or more compatible safety input devices connected in series with the safety relay via a single-wire communication circuit. The safety input device farthest from the safety relay on the safety circuit modulates a safety signal with a recognizable pulse pattern that traverses the single-wire safety circuit to the safety relay via the intermediate safety devices. The safety relay maintains safety mode as long as the pulse pattern is received and recognized. In addition to conveying the safety signal, the architecture allows bi-directional communication of initialization, configuration, and diagnostic messages over the single-wire safety channel.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Suresh R. Nair, Wayne R. Foster, Christopher Burke, Alex Harris, Rudolf Laurenz Papenbreer, Dirk Lorenz, Norbert Machuletz, Oliver Heckel
