  • Plant seed based fiber products and processes
    Patent number: 7837830
    Abstract: The invention relates to a paper product having 0.1 to 10 percent of an acid treated seed based fiber material incorporated into the paper making composition. The remainder of the paper product can be pulp fibers, for example wood fibers. The seed based fiber material is present on the surface of the pulp fibers and imparts certain properties to the paper product formed from it.

  • Flexible infrastructure for managing a process
    Patent number: 6892376
    Abstract: This invention relates to providing a flexible infrastructure for managing a process. This is done by defining a workflow type, building a workflow pointer that defines the location of a database within a network, and coding subforms for the defined workflow type. Role documents are defined and customized, process flow documents are built for the defined workflow type, and action control documents are built for determining what happens to the defined workflow type.
