Masaki Sharyo has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Enzymatic hydrolysis of a polymer comprising vinyl acetate monomer
    Publication number: 20110198048
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of certain lipolytic enzymes such as cutinases and lipases in the manufacture of paper and paper products from recycled paper. Examples of such enzymes are derived from strains of Humicola, Candida, Fusarium and Pseudomonas. By use of these enzymes, the problems relating to the so-called “stickies” derived from waste paper are reduced.

  • Method of making sanitary paper from chemical pulp using a single component cellulase that does not contain cellulose-building domain
    Patent number: 6468391
    Abstract: Sanitary paper with improved softness (lower stiffness) can be obtained without significant loss of paper strength by using a papermaking pulp which is treated with a certain type of cellulase component. The cellulase component in question is characterized by not containing a cellulose-binding domain (CBD), and is more effective for making softer sanitary paper than a conventional cellulase preparation which contains a mixture of various cellulase components with and without a CBD.

  • Deinking of starch-coated printed paper by treatment with starch degrading enzyme
    Patent number: 5879509
    Abstract: In the production of pulp and paper from starch-coated paper, the deinking effect can be improved by including a treatment with a starch-degrading enzyme e.g. amylase or a debranching enzyme. The process comprises enzyme treatment before, during or after disintegration of the paper to produce pulp, followed by separation of ink particles.
