  • MICROBIOMES AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING MEDIUM-CHAIN FATTY ACIDS FROM ORGANIC SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20220127651
    Abstract: Microbiome compositions and uses thereof. The microbiome compositions include a set of microbes. The sets of microbes contain members of Lactobacillaceae, Eubacteriaceae, Lachnospiraceae, and Coriobacteriaceae. The number of individual physical microbes in the set constitutes a certain percentage of the total number of individual physical microbes in the microbiome composition. The microbiome compositions can be used for producing medium-chain fatty acids from organic substrates through anaerobic fermentation in a medium. The medium can include lignocellulosic stillage.

  • Method and system for providing a multi-channel virtual collections center
    Patent number: 8660941
    Abstract: An integrated multi-channel virtual collections center and methods for using the same are disclosed. The collections center may include a program management module, a communications module and a data analytics module. The program management module may be configured to generate a plurality of scenarios for a debt collection campaign. The communications module may be configured to automatically present a scenario to a debtor and to receive response data from the debtor. The communications module may include a plurality of communication channels. The data analytics module may be configured to automatically analyze response data received from the communications module and to select a communications channel and a scenario for the communications module based on the response data.
