  • Patent number: 10040710
    Abstract: A method uses anionic and cationic polymers added in, any order or simultaneously, to aqueous media for the removal of substances. The sequential addition of the two biopolymers, anionic xanthan, followed by cationic chitosan, causes the rapid formation of very large and cohesive fibrillar aggregates that may exhibit high solids to liquid ratios and that quickly settle out from the aqueous media. The aqueous media can be easily separated from the large fibrillar aggregates by settling under gravity or by filtration through a porous containment device, such as a synthetic or non-synthetic woven or non-woven fabric including a geotextile fabric or a solid containment device containing a solid mesh screen.

  • Patent number: 9656882
    Abstract: A water treatment composition includes a water soluble film formed into a sealed pouch. The pouch contains a composite of a phosphate removing substance, a polymer flocculant, or an enzyme, or any combination. The phosphate removing substance, the polymer flocculant, and the enzyme are bound to each other within the composite. The pouch is added to a body of water. The pouch dissolves to release the compounds and treat the water.

  • Publication number: 20170065473
    Abstract: An inflatable positioner includes a low coefficent of friction (COF) on a top surface and a high COF on a bottom surface. The inflatable positioner is slid under the patient and then inflated by an air pump. At least two positioners can be inflated and deflated with the air pump and a timer. A non-inflatable positioner may be inserted into a positioner bag with a high COF outer surface. An inflatable gusseted or non-gusseted positioner may be created from a single sheet of material or from two sheets of material. A tail may be attached to a positioner to allow thereof to be pulled under a patient's body. A strap may be attached to the positioner to allow the positioner to be secured to another object. The sheet of material may be breathable or non-breathable. A plurality of breathable vent perforations are formed through the non-breathable sheet of material.
