Publication number: 20220356082Abstract: A device and a method for removing fats, oils and/or grease (“FOGs”) from water comprise a separator, wherein the separator removes the FOGs that separate from the water under gravity, and a filter wherein the filter removes the FOGs remaining in the water after the water has passed through the separator. The filter comprises several layers having different compositions suitable for removing FOGs from water, including a layer comprising granular activated carbon bonded together and wrapped in polyester.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2020Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventor: Kevin McCabe

Patent number: 11021274Abstract: Small cubesat systems may be available for a lower cost, have a higher reliability, and be much simpler to use than conventional cubesats. A complete turnkey system solution may be provided, including the ground station and remote field units. The satellite, ground station, and field unit may be provided separately as kits that are ready to go out-of-the-box as soon as they arrive. This enables universities, researchers, and hobbyists to obtain and deploy their own functional satellites. Furthermore, theoretical designs and functionality may be rapidly prototyped and demonstrated, which allows for proof-of-concept without needing to build a larger, more expensive satellite system and hope that the new design or functionality works as intended.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2016Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Triad National Security, LLCInventors: Stephen Judd, Nicholas Dallmann, Kevin McCabe, Donald Enemark, Michael Proicou, Daniel Seitz

Patent number: 10981677Abstract: A “black box” space vehicle solution may allow a payload developer to define the mission space and provide mission hardware within a predetermined volume and with predetermined connectivity. Components such as the power module, radios and boards, attitude determination and control system (ADCS), command and data handling (C&DH), etc. may all be provided as part of a “stock” (i.e., core) space vehicle. The payload provided by the payload developer may be plugged into the space vehicle payload section, tested, and launched without custom development of core space vehicle components by the payload developer. A docking station may facilitate convenient development and testing of the space vehicle while reducing handling thereof.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Triad National Security, LLCInventors: Stephen Judd, Nicholas Dallmann, Kevin McCabe, Daniel Seitz

Patent number: 10826994Abstract: A sensor system may be configured for continuous operation in a low resource environment and/or in extreme environmental conditions. The sensor system may have sufficient processing capabilities to provide scientific computing for pre-processing, quality control, statistical analysis, event classification, data compression and corrections (e.g., spikes in the data), autonomous decisions and actions, triggering other nodes, and information assurance functions that provide data confidentiality, data integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation. The hardware may have both mesh networking and satellite and cellular communication capability, and may be available for relatively low cost. Such a network provides the flexibility to have potentially any number of nodes be completely independent from one another. Thus, the network may scale across a diverse terrain.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Triad National Security, LLCInventors: Janette Frigo, Stephen Judd, Michael Proicou, Kevin McCabe, Donald Enemark, Alexandra Saari, Shawn Hinzey

Patent number: 10445110Abstract: A space vehicle may have a modular board configuration that commonly uses some or all components and a common operating system for at least some of the boards. Each modular board may have its own dedicated processing, and processing loads may be distributed. The space vehicle may be reprogrammable, and may be launched without code that enables all functionality and/or components. Code errors may be detected and the space vehicle may be reset to a working code version to prevent system failure.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Triad National Security, LLCInventors: Stephen Judd, Nicholas Dallmann, Kevin McCabe, Jerry Delapp, Dean Prichard, Michael Proicou, Daniel Seitz, Paul Stein, John Michel, Justin Tripp, Joseph Palmer, Steven Storms

Publication number: 20180291276Abstract: A bio-oil product is produced from biomass material by subjecting the biomass material to a first stage liquefaction process, where the first stage liquefaction process includes combining the biomass material with a co-solvent including methanol and water to form a first slurry mixture, providing the slurry mixture within a first liquefaction reactor and maintaining the first slurry mixture at a sufficient temperature and pressure so as to convert a portion of the biomass material into a first liquefied bio-oil product as well as form a first aqueous product and a first solid product, and separating the first liquefied bio-oil product from the aqueous and solid products.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2018Publication date: October 11, 2018Inventors: Santosh GANGWAL, Jiajia MENG, Kevin MCCABE

Patent number: 9981758Abstract: An adaptable, modular, multi-purpose (AMM) space vehicle backplane may accommodate boards and components for various missions. The AMM backplane may provide a common hardware interface and common board-to-board communications. Components, connectors, test points, and sensors may be embedded directly into the backplane to provide additional functionality, diagnostics, and system access. Other space vehicle sections may plug directly into the backplane.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2015Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Los Alamos National Security, LLCInventors: Stephen Judd, Nicholas Dallmann, Kevin McCabe, Adam Warniment
