Patent number: 11932563Abstract: A method for improved anaerobic digestion is presented. The method includes mixing a volume of waste material with water to form a feedstock mixture. The volume of waste material includes an initial amount of biomass and the feedstock mixture includes methanogenic bacteria either naturally present in the waste material or introduced artificially. The method also includes introducing one or more promoter substances to the feedstock mixture. The one or more promoter substances are capable of modifying the methanogenic bacteria. Modifying includes stimulating novel enzyme production in the methanogenic bacteria.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Topstone Ventures, LLCInventor: Christopher J.

Publication number: 20210383391Abstract: A system for fraud dispute of pending transactions. The system comprising receiving data corresponding to a pending transaction between the user and a merchant; and analyzing the transaction data to determine whether the transaction data comprises at least one indicator of a fraudulent transaction. Wherein, pausing an initiation to provide funds for the pending transaction, providing the user at least one questionnaire relating to the received transaction data or a set of stored user data, receiving a response from the user for the questionnaire, comparing the received response to the received transaction data or the stored user data, determining whether to validate the user based on the comparison, rejecting the pending transaction when the user is not validated, and removing the indicator when the user is validated. Wherein, approving the pending transaction, and initiating a request to provide funds to the merchant. And storing the received transaction data and analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2020Publication date: December 9, 2021Applicant: Fidelity Information Services, LLC.Inventors: Christopher J.

Patent number: 8799072Abstract: Methods and systems that allow an Internet distribution partner of an advertisement listings provider to receive filtered and masked listings for display on the website of the Internet distribution partner. The Internet distribution partner defines filters to be applied to ranked advertising listings provided by an advertising listing provider. The advertisement listings provider system applies the filter to the listings in its database and identify matches and/or excludes matches depending on the characteristic specified. The advertisement listings provider may then send the Internet distribution partner advertisement listings based on the application of one or more filter selected by the distribution partner.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Christopher J.

Patent number: 8429014Abstract: Methods and systems for providing advertising content over the Internet through a hierarchical content-specific node structure and pricing advertising delivery over each node independently. Independent delivery and pricing allows an advertiser to pay more for advertisements delivered to a narrowly targeted audience likely to be interested in the goods or services offered by the advertising entity and to pay less for advertisements directed at a more general audience who may or may not have an interest in the goods or services offered. The less content specific the node is, the less targeted the advertisement will be, and therefore, the less valuable the advertisement will be to the advertising entity. Targeted advertising to multiple levels of content specific nodes is enabled.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2010Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Christopher J. Barry, Eric Robert Bronnimann, Jacob Paul Ewerdt, William C. Day, Kevin R J B Donovan, Brian Hammond, Elizabeth Klein, Matthew Gordon Knell, Ron McCoy, Sara Frances Plath, Dan C.
