  • GRADIENT PRETREATMENT OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS
    Publication number: 20140273105
    Abstract: Lignocellulosic biomass pretreated with ammonia where the concentration of the biomass in the reaction mixture is reduced over time was found to produce more sugars following saccharification, as compared to equivalent biomass pretreated at constant concentration. The concentration of biomass is a solids concentration, which is the percent of dry biomass relative to the total pretreatment reaction mixture on a weight to weight basis.

  • Intercepting text strings to prevent exposing secure information
    Patent number: 8621345
    Abstract: To prevent exposing secure information, a first alphanumeric string is received and compared to a second alphanumeric string. After comparing the first alphanumeric string to the second alphanumeric string, it is determined whether the first alphanumeric string includes one of a limiting character and an instruction to send a message. The first alphanumeric string may be modified based on a result of comparing the first alphanumeric string to the second alphanumeric string, thereby altering the first alphanumeric string, and the first alphanumeric string, as modified, may be transmitted.
