  • Publication number: 20250322122
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods configured to optimize processing of feedstock sources into renewable energy. Optimization over conventional approaches can begin with systematic functionality at the first steps of delivering feedstock to various digester locations. Optimizing transport of materials to the various locations can significantly impact production efficiency and resultant greenhouse gas emissions stemming from such processing. Various embodiments resolve the technical issues of building the most efficient system to account for greenhouse gas emissions as well optimization of renewable energy production from source material having varying quality, consistency, and location. Trained ML models can be used to predict efficient use of resources across groups of digesters, various feedstock streams, respective locations, and the resources required to bring the feedstock to the digesters.

  • Publication number: 20070190050
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for preventing and treating septicemia in patient blood is provided. The extracorporeal system includes an antimicrobial device to inactivate at least 99% of bloodborne microorganisms, a hemoconcentrator/filtration unit to remove approximately 50-75% of target molecules from the patient blood and a filter unit to remove target molecules from patient blood from the sieved plasma filtrate. Target molecules are produced by microorganisms, as well as by the patient's cells. These molecules include endotoxins from Gram negative bacteria, exotoxins from Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, as well as RAP protein mediator from Staphylococcus aureus, and cell mediators such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin 1-beta, interleukin 6, complement proteins C3a and C5a, and bradykinin.
