  • Patent number: 11663873
    Abstract: The disclosure describes a software-implemented method for an easy-to-use interface for processing financial transactions. Described is a graphical user interface having the look-and-feel of a lottery ticket. Additionally, the way this user interface is used to create a list of financial transactions and their sequentially processing by a computer is defined.

  • Publication number: 20220198866
    Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to the financial industry. A lottery business method based on financial instruments is presented. The lottery hereby is not a game of change because the high win opportunity is realized through sequential or parallel processing of financial instruments or transactions chosen by customers in tickets. Several representations of tickets were shown as well as the complete process of this method. For this method, a technical implementation of the process by a group of internet servers is described. Due to the fact that most people play lottery with physical lottery ticket machines, a lottery ticket machine is described which implements the business method and the technical process.

  • Patent number: 9492806
    Abstract: 7 different technical machines are explained for hydrodynamic cavitation generation in large scale. Also 4 chemical, processes are published which have are widely used. Machine 1 is a device for magnetic cavitation generation. Machine 2 is a device for cleaning applications with all relevant parts inside the vacuum container. Machine 3 is a cleaning machine with a vibration isolation sieve inside the liquid. Machine 4 is a machine with cavitation generation plates inside the liquid. Machine 5 is a laboratory and industrial mixing machine for containers with standardized dimensions. Machine 6 is a vibration table based cavitation generation machine with more than one plate inside liquid. Machine 7 is a vibration generation pipe with increased cavitation generation. The first process is cavitation biodiesel process. The second process is a cavitation polyester (PET) generating process. The third process is a cavitation wastewater treatment process. The fourth process is cavitation oil sands extraction process.

  • Patent number: 8147619
    Abstract: Cavitation is an often used mechanism for accelerating chemical reactions and for cleaning purposes. This invention describes a very simple process for generating cavitation with a vibration table through vertical excitations which generates a “water hammer” that generates very effective cavitation. A simple example is given for an industrial application of this process—splitting cellulose via sulfuric acid to glucose.

  • Patent number: 7998449
    Abstract: Methods of making nanoparticles are disclosed. The nanoparticles include carbon nanotubes and fullerenes, but the methods can be extended to produce other nanotubes, nanocrystals, proteins, nanospheres, etc. The disclosed methods generate cavitation in fluids to create the necessary conditions for nanoparticle formation. Disclosed methods for generating cavitation include explosions and oscillation of fluids.

  • Publication number: 20100290979
    Abstract: carbon nanotubes can be used in a lot of different applications but the main disadvantage of these tubes are that they are expensive. This invention describes a very simple process for producing carbon nanotubes in large scale. This process is very cheaply. It uses the sonochemical approach for generating carbon nanotubes. It is also shown that this process can be used for large industrialization of sonochemical processes.
