  • Patent number: 12057218
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer storage media are provided for utilizing system diagnostics focused in areas of disruption to improve inventory and workforce management in a revenue cycle management system. Diagnostic data is utilized to automatically identify disruptions in the revenue cycle management system across a plurality of clients. The disruptions are automatically ranked based on an impact to the revenue cycle management system and a time required to execute a correction for each disruption. A recommendation is provided for the client to execute the correction for each disruption.

  • Patent number: 9650654
    Abstract: Methods of making C4+ hydrocarbon feedstocks using anaerobic microbes are described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 24, 2015
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2017
    Assignee: William Marsh Rice University
    Inventors: George Bennett, Chandresh Thakker
  • Patent number: 9562224
    Abstract: Production of products by engineered bacteria is increased by regulating cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is controlled by reducing electron transfer enzyme activity. Some examples of electron transfer enzymes include NADH dehydrogenases, Succinate dehydrogenases, ubiquinone synthesis, cytochrome O, and cytochrome D. In one example, deletion of UbiCA prevents respiration. Respiration can the be controlled by addition of ubiquinone or expression of ubiCA.

  • Patent number: 8486686
    Abstract: A new culture method for producing high levels of a metabolite, such as succinic acid uses oxygen rich culture without pH adjustment to increase the biomass, acclimation in under oxygen lean conditions having <5% partial pressure of oxygen, and the production of high levels of succinate under oxygen deprived conditions. The method can be performed in a single reactor, and is amenable to efficient scale up.

  • Patent number: 7388620
    Abstract: Pan-scan is provided for a standard 4:3 aspect ratio TV displaying a 16:9 aspect ratio high definition (HD) video stream using the motion vectors that are part of MPEG-encoded streams. Specifically, if, for instance, the MPEG motion vectors indicate an object rapidly moving to the left, the left-most part of the HD video frames are shown, instead of remaining centered on the HD video frames and cutting off the left and right portions.
