Patent number: 10888104Abstract: A fatty acid composition is provided which can be used to make fatty acid fortified nutritional products. In one embodiment, the fatty acid composition comprises a fatty acid component, inorganic salts (which can include a phosphate salt), vitamins, and optionally a protein source and optionally a carbohydrate source. The composition can further include additional nutrients and combinations thereof. In another embodiment, the fatty acid composition is only the fatty acid (i.e., consists of a sodium or potassium fatty acid) which is spray dried. In both embodiments, the fatty acid composition is not microencapsulated in a waxy or carbohydrate substrate, yet the powdered composition is flowable and is easily dispersible in a liquid to form a stable dispersion in the liquid by stirring or shaking the powder in the liquid for only a short period of time.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2015Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Jost Chemical Co.Inventors: John Gleason, Douglas Caskey, Eric Bruton, Teresa Bandrowsky, Douglas Jost

Patent number: 8378131Abstract: A co-salt of a polyunsaturated fatty acid and a non-fatty acid is formed as a precipitate. The co-salt formed is free flowing and does not tend to agglomerate (cake) in storage. The resultant co-salt product will be easy to blend with other products to produce dietary supplements. These novel co-salt products may also tablet very well and may be added to current dietary supplement tablets.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2012Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Jost Chemical CompanyInventors: John Gleason, Douglas Jost, Philip H.

Patent number: 7574841Abstract: A height adjustable jack piling assembly has a piling with a top and a bottom. A hinge axis is disposed on the top and a bearing plate is disposed at the bottom. A height adjustment mechanism extends upwardly from the bearing plate and through the piling to raise the piling, and the corresponding hinge axis, by operating the height adjustment mechanism from the top. The method includes placing a jack piling assembly and second lower piling, each having a hinge axis, into the earth and operating the height adjustment mechanism of the jack piling assembly to align the hinge axes.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2007Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Morton BuildingsInventors: Wayne A.

Publication number: 20070117020Abstract: A battery cell has a plurality of first and second electrodes of opposite polarities that are interleaved. Each of the first and second electrodes is a sheet of non-woven fabric having a first edge from which a tab projects, and a second edge transverse to and substantially longer than the first edge. The non-woven fabric is coated with a metal in a manner that forms a strip along the second edge which has a greater electrical conductivity than areas more remote from the second edge. The strip extends along the tab. A first terminal is electrically connected to the strip along the tabs of the first electrodes, and a second terminal is electrically connected to the strip along the tabs of the second electrodes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2005Publication date: May 24, 2007Inventors: Christopher Baker, John Gleason, Anthony Maurizo
