Patent number: 12275691Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an apparatus and method for recovering ethanol from a fermentation broth. The fermentation broth comprises microbial biomass, ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, at least one thiol, and at least one compound having 3 or more carbon atoms. The method comprises separating at least microbial biomass from the fermentation broth to generate a process stream; removing, in any order, from the process stream: ethyl acetate by reacting ethyl acetate with a base compound followed by distillation; at least one thiol by adsorption or reaction to disulfide; methanol by distillation; compounds having 3 or more carbon atoms by distillation; and recovering ethanol by distillation; wherein the distillations may be conducted in a single column or two or more columns.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2023Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: LanzaTech, Inc.Inventors: Ralph Gillespie, Michelle Kocal, Wyatt Eric Allen, Richard R Rosin, Donovan Tran

Patent number: 12029863Abstract: The embodiments presented herein relate to concepts designed to eliminate the gap between a catheter and guide wire that can otherwise contribute to a catheter getting stuck within the vasculature. In an example embodiment, a microcatheter with an enlarged distal section is described. The enlarged portion of the microcatheter may be located close to the inner diameter of the guide catheter in order to reduce any open space between the microcatheter and the guide catheter, and the guidewire can be placed through the microcatheter and used to guide the system. The microcatheter can include one or more marker bands to aid in aligning the microcatheter correctly relative to the guide catheter. After the guide catheter and microcatheter are tracked to the appropriate treatment site, the microcatheter can then be used to deploy various medical devices to treat a patient.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2020Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: MicroVention, Inc.Inventors: Michelle Tran, Tetsu Sumida, Mayank Goyal, Joseph A.

Publication number: 20220322693Abstract: Compositions and methods that relate to improved chocolate milk are provided. The chocolate milk may be shelf stable and k-carrageenan free. The chocolate milk does not undergo visually detectable phase separation for at least 7 days. The chocolate milk that does not undergo the visually detectable phase separation contains from 1%-10% micellar casein w/v. Methods for preparing shelf stable k-carrageenan free chocolate milk are also provided and include mixing cocoa powder, sugar, milk, and micellar casein to obtain a mixture, and optionally heating and homogenizing the mixture, and subsequently subjecting the mixture to High Pressure Jet Processing (HPJ) or high pressure homogenization of at least 300 MPa, thereby producing the shelf table k-carrageenan free chocolate milk. The shelf stable k-carrageenan free chocolate milk of produced using such a method may be refrigerated temperature for at least 14 days, and does not undergo detectable phase separation for at least 14 days.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Federico Miguel Harte, Michelle Tran, John Coupland, Robert Roberts, Greg Ziegler

Patent number: 10682493Abstract: A device and its method of use eliminates or reduces the gap between a catheter and guide wire that can otherwise contribute to a catheter getting stuck within the vasculature. The device is maintained at or near the distal end of the catheter while being advanced through the vessels of a patient. The reduced gap size prevents the catheter from otherwise “catching” on various structures of a vessel, such as a bifurcation.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2017Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: MicroVention, Inc.Inventors: Michelle Tran, Tetsu Sumida, Mayank Goyal, Joseph A.
