Morgan L. Vis-Chiasson has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Enhanced practical photosynthetic CO2 mitigation
    Patent number: 6667171
    Abstract: This process is unique in photosynthetic carbon sequestration. An on-site biological sequestration system directly decreases the concentration of carbon-containing compounds in the emissions of fossil generation units. In this process, photosynthetic microbes are attached to a growth surface arranged in a containment chamber that is lit by solar photons. A harvesting system ensures maximum organism growth and rate of CO2 uptake. Soluble carbon and nitrogen concentrations delivered to the cyanobacteria are enhanced, further increasing growth rate and carbon utilization.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 18, 2001
    Date of Patent: December 23, 2003
    Assignee: Ohio University
    Inventors: David J. Bayless, Morgan L. Vis-Chiasson, Gregory G. Kremer
