Patent number: 11970409Abstract: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Revive Environmental Technology, LLCInventors: Lindy E.

Publication number: 20240095723Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are generally directed to processing conversions of digital assets to fiat currency. An example method includes obtaining a conversion rate for a digital asset via an API, providing the conversion rate via a client device, receiving a digital asset conversion request and executing a digital asset conversion within a configurable time period. Executing the digital asset conversion includes causing digital asset units to be debited from the digital asset user account and causing fiat currency units to be credited to a fiat currency user account. The method further includes dynamically providing a notification of execution of the digital asset conversion via the client device, updating account balance data objects associated with the digital asset user account and the fiat currency user account, and subsequent to executing the digital asset conversion, executing a fiat currency transaction (e.g., a settlement) with a digital asset exchange system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Christopher Michael Petersen, Jeffrey Scott Pittelkau, Nikolais Linsteadt, Joseph Arthur Revnes, Brian Daniel Cooper, William Matthau, Yamini Bistesh Sagar, Nicolas Frederic Cabrera, Utkarsh Agarwal, Tim Kuchlein, Bharath Lakshmanan, William Andrew Bryant, Stephen Paul Saucier, Deepak Kumar, Anil Jaiswal, Byungkwon Jeon, Balaji Devarasetty
