Patent number: 11960840Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each query word of a query to produce sets of identigens, where a set of identigens represents different meanings of a word of the query. The method further includes obtaining a first identigen selection for a first query word from the first set of identigens. The method further includes interpreting, using identigen pairing rules and based on the first identigen selection, the sets of identigens to produce a query entigen group. The method further includes accessing a knowledge database utilizing the query entigen group to produce a response entigen group. The method further includes generating a response to the query using the response entigen group, where the response includes at least one response word.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: entigenlogic LLCInventors: Frank John Williams, Stephen Emerson Sundberg, Ameeta Vasant Reed, Dennis Arlen Roberson, Thomas James MacTavish, Karl Olaf Knutson, Jessy Thomas, Niklas Josiah MacTavish, David Michael Corns, II, Andrew Chu, Kyle Edward Alberth, Ali Fattahian, Zachary John McCord, Ahmad Abdelqader Abunaser, Gary W.

Patent number: 11920103Abstract: A method for producing a lubricant in producing an overbased calcium sulfonate, which is converted from the vaterite form into the calcite form and, finally, a calcium sulfonate grease is produced by heating the mixture. A lubricant may comprise at least one ester composition, calcium carbonate and at least one overbased alkylbenzene sulfonate. The basicity of the mixture is limited during the preparation of the overbased calcium sulfonate to a TBN of at most 550 mg KOH/g and during the conversion of the calcium sulfonate to a TBN of at most 450 mg KOH/g. Both the calcium sulfonate and the grease containing said calcium sulfonate may be produced exclusively on an ester basis, so that the end product does not contain any mineral oil and is therefore easily and completely biodegradable.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: KAJO GMBHInventors: Frank Bongardt, Markus John
