Patent number: 10378315Abstract: A method of producing liquid ore includes identifying a region of the geologic formation containing liquid ore based on at least one of a breach in a basement rock of the geologic formation or a seismographic dim-out within a sedimentary bed of the geologic formation. The liquid ore is then extracted from the geologic formation through a wellbore in communication with the region of the geologic formation. Extracted liquid ore may subsequently be processed to precipitate elements within the liquid ore. Such processing may include, among other things, contacting the liquid ore with a proton acceptor and separating a carbonate from a carbonate mixture derived from the liquid ore.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2017Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: US Strategic Minerals Exploration LLCInventor: James S.

Patent number: 10098340Abstract: Provided is a method for reducing apoptosis in nucleated cells. The method entails holding nucleated cells in a container and adding a gas containing xenon to the container so that the pressure inside the container reaches between 0.5 to 4.0 Atm above ambient pressure; holding the container at between 0.5 to 4.0 Atm above ambient pressure for a period of time during which the temperature in the container is between 22° C. and 37° C.; lowering the temperature in the container to between 0.1° C. and 10° C. while maintaining the pressure of 0.5 to 4.0 Atm above ambient pressure and holding the container for a period of time; and reducing the pressure in the container to ambient pressure and increasing the temperature to 22° C.-37° C. By performing these steps, the cells undergo less apoptosis than a reference.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2012Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Rich Technologies Holding Company, LLCInventors: William E.

Patent number: 5700402Abstract: A crankcase fuel injection system includes a diaphragm type fuel pump, a crankcase fuel injector assembly, and a main air inlet assembly. Engine crankcase pulses generated by the up and down movements of the piston are utilized by the fuel pump to replenish the fuel mixture in a fuel mixture injector chamber of the fuel injector assembly. The air mass entering the crankcase upon the upstroke of the piston is controlled within the main air inlet assembly by a throttle valve and metered across a main air venturi. The venturi signal at the main air venturi is amplified by a booster venturi. The amplified venturi signal is applied to a middle chamber formed between the two diaphragms of the compound diaphragm assembly which serves as the injector pump mechanism. The force acting upon the diaphragm assembly due to the amplified venturi signal is further amplified due to the area relationships of the two diaphragms.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1996Date of Patent: December 23, 1997Inventors: James S. Jones, James M. Jones
