Patent number: 11033503Abstract: A method and composition are provided for coating a component to achieve colon-targeted delivery. A component is coated with a fructose-based non-digestible carbohydrate such as a inulin, fructo-oligosaccharide or neosugar. The coated component is orally administered to a monogastric animal. The non-digestible coating causes the composition to pass through the stomach and small intestine without being degraded, and delivers the component to the colon where the coating is digested by microbial fermentation and the component is released.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2016Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Inventor: Guy W Miller

Patent number: 6410305Abstract: A process and composition for treating an animal waste in a waste holding facility to reduce sulfides and enhance efficient degradation of large amounts of organic matter with reduced odor. The process includes administering a probiotic material capable of promoting organic digestion to an animal and maintaining a sulfide gas concentration of less than 10 ppm from a waste produced by the animal. Maintaining a low sulfide gas concentration can be done by adding an innoculum of sulfide-utilizing bacteria to the waste produced by the animal.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1999Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: BioSun Systems CorporationInventors: Guy W. Miller, Gregory Scott Patterson

Patent number: 5958758Abstract: A process for treating an animal waste in a waste holding facility to reduce sulfides and enhance efficient degradation of large amounts of organic matter with reduced odor. The process includes a first inoculation with sulfide-utilizing bacteria and a second inoculation with organic digesting bacteria and lytic enzymes. The second organic digesting inoculation is performed at a time when the sulfide content of the animal waste in the facility is adequately reduced to support organic digesting bacterial growth and efficient degradation of organic matter.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 1997Date of Patent: September 28, 1999Assignee: Biosun Systems CorporationInventors: Guy W. Miller, Gregory Scott Patterson

Patent number: 4685286Abstract: A rotor assembly 22 for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The engine has a compression section 12 and a turbine section 16. Various construction details which enable the modular disassembly of the turbine section are developed. The rotor assembly includes a rotor shaft 42 extending between the compression section and the turbine section. An annular shaft 66 engages a bearing 64, is joined to a rotor blade assembly 74, and rotatably supports the rotor shaft 42.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1985Date of Patent: August 11, 1987Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Frederick C. Hetzer, Guy W. Miller

Patent number: 4226365Abstract: A valve having a translatable annular slot communicates with discretely shaped and judiciously located elongated, variable width slots for metering fuel to individual fuel nozzles in a burner of a jet engine without changing the fuel scheduling characteristics of the fuel control. The valve can have sequential lighting capabilities in the event that the burner is designed with this feature.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1979Date of Patent: October 7, 1980Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: James R. Norris, Guy W. Miller, John C. Jamison, Ralph D. Ransom

Patent number: 4206865Abstract: Where the burner liner for gas turbine engines is made up of overlapping rings secured together, the ring is formed by rolling a strip to a selected shape and dimension crosswise of the strip so as to have appropriate thickness in the heavily stressed area, and less thickness where the stresses are lower, and then forming a selected length of the strip into a ring by bonding or welding together the ends of the selected length to make the desired ring dimension. This may be followed by shaping the ring into the desired conical shape to fit with adjacent rings to form the burner liner.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1978Date of Patent: June 10, 1980Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventor: Guy W. Miller

Patent number: 4050844Abstract: In the connection between the unison ring and the actuating arms carried by the several vanes of a variable stator ring in an axial flow compressor and providing for turning the vanes as the unison ring is moved, the pivot that must permit angular misalignment, relative rotation and axial movement is an elliptical-shaped bushing mounted on either the ring or arm and engaging a cylindrical surface on the other of the ring or arm. The bushing is normally mounted on a pin and the cylindrical surface is provided by a sleeve, the elliptical element having slidable engagement with the sleeve. The bushing may be a metallic spring or may be made of an elastomer.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1976Date of Patent: September 27, 1977Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Guy W. Miller, James R. Norris
