Publication number: 20230257319Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a process for forming products from animal waste (e.g., poultry litter). The products may include a controlled release fertilizer and renewable natural gas. The process may include providing a feedstock comprising greater than about 80 percent poultry waste and a moisture content of about 25 percent. The feedstock may be diluted to form a slurry having a moisture content of about 90%. The slurry may be mechanically refined to reduce the particle size distribution and the average particle size of the slurry. The slurry may be anaerobically digested to produce biogas and a digestate. The biogas may be converted to renewable natural gas, and the digestate may be converted to a controlled release fertilizer. Additionally, some embodiments are directed to methods of reducing nitrogen emission from soil amendments. Some embodiments are directed to reducing nitrogen emissions sufficient to produce emissions offset credits.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2021Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: SHAWN FREITAS, WILLIAM HOLLOMAN, BRELAND OSCAR, ALAN GILBERT, THOMAS M.

Patent number: 11261257Abstract: There is disclosed an assay method for selectively detecting 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D in a biological fluid sample. According to the method, the pH of the test sample is adjusted to 6-9 and a receptor protein comprising the Ligand Binding Domain of Vitamin D Receptor (VDR-LBD) is added to the test sample, thereby obtaining the formation of a VDR-LBD/1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D complex in which the VDR-LBD portion is conformationally changed with respect to unbound VDR-LBD. The VDR-LBD/1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D complex is then detected by means of a capture moiety which is capable of specifically binding to VDR-LBD bound to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Also disclosed are an assay kit and an antibody for carrying out the method. The assay is preferably a sandwich immunoassay.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: DiaSorin S.p.A.Inventors: Joshua Soldo, Gregory Olson, Michael Lutterman, John Wall, Michael New, Hector Floyd Deluca, Fabrizio Bonelli

Patent number: 11113913Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of control access to a controlled-access area. The method includes receiving offsite sensor data, receiving offsite user identification data corresponding to the offsite sensor data, determining that the offsite sensor data satisfies an organizational standard, determining that the offsite user identification data corresponds to an approved user, and transmitting a notification to a user device. The method may also include receiving onsite user information and using the offsite sensor data and the onsite user information to determine if a user is approved for access to an access-controlled area. In some examples, the offsite sensor data may be temperature data associated with a febrile condition of a user attempting to gain access to the controlled-access area.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2020Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: SATURDAY CAPITAL, LLCInventors: Patrick Doherty, John Wall, Michael S.

Patent number: 10983136Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D values in ratio with PTH as a prognostic biomarker. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for predicting or stratifying the risk of worsening renal function (WRF) in a patient at risk of renal injury or affected by renal injury. Levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) are measured in a biological sample and taken together with parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels to provide a ratio indicative of the risk of worsening renal function.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2017Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: DiaSorin S.p.A.Inventors: Francesco Colotta, Fabrizio Bonelli, Frank Blocki, Claudia Zierold, Joshua Soldo, Gregory Olson, Michael Lutterman, John Wall, Michael New, Hector Floyd Deluca

Patent number: 10515231Abstract: Relationships between data in database tables are obfuscated. An input data set is divided into two database tables with corresponding rows. A key field if created in a second one of the tables, and for each row, the field is populated with a value generated with a one-way function, using a unique value associated with the corresponding row of the first one of the tables as an input. The two tables are stored in a data store, so that the data in corresponding rows may be associated only with access to the one way function, and the unique value associated with a row of the first table.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2013Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: SYMCOR INC.Inventor: John Wall
