Patent number: 11026439Abstract: In some examples, a system may be configured to generating flour having a uniform particle size of less than 100 Microns from whole insects. For example, the may include generating a slurry from whole insects by adding water while blending the whole insects using one or more mixers to generate an insect slurry. In some cases, the water is added to the insect parts to reduce the viscosity and to assist in separating the whole insects into parts. In some cases, the insect slurry may be filtered.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: ASPIRE FOOD GROUP LTDInventors: Gabriel Mott, Serena Harrington, Shobhita Soor, Mohammed Ashour, Michael Todd Hall

Patent number: 10912288Abstract: A harvesting platform configured to navigate in a space over a room configured for the cultivation of insects. The harvesting platform may be equipped with a watering device and feed delivery device for supplying nutrients to the insect population being cultivated within the room. The harvesting platform may also be equipped with a harvesting device, such as a vacuum system, to harvest or remove the insects from the room when matured.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2017Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: ASPIRE FOOD GROUP LTDInventor: Michael Todd Hall
-
Patent number: 10881081Abstract: An autonomous feed delivery platform configured to navigate through a facility and deliver insect feed to multiple insect habitats located within the facility. In some cases, the feed delivery platform may be configured to deliver the feed to multiple insect habitats at substantially the same time.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2016Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: ASPIRE FOOD GROUP LTDInventors: Michael Todd Hall, Gabriel Mott, Mohammed Ashour

Publication number: 20200182709Abstract: A sensor is provided that is capable of sensing a level of a parameter in an environment surrounding the sensor, wirelessly transmitting data regarding the level of the parameter to another device, and converting a wireless signal to a current and powering the sensors with the current. The sensor may measure capacitance data and transmit the data to a computer to be converted into temperature readings. The sensor may provide temperature readings from multiple locations within a container into which the sensor is placed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2019Publication date: June 11, 2020Applicant: PURDUE RESEARCH FOUNDATIONInventors: Dimitrios Peroulis, Nithin Raghunathan, Michael Todd Hall
