Publication number: 20170228801Abstract: A charitable giving method is disclosed that uses a social media platform to bring together individuals, businesses, and charitable causes. The use of the social media platform incentivizes individuals and businesses to increase their financial support to charitable causes. The individuals register certain demographic and psychographic information on the social media platform, and that information is used by the businesses and charitable causes in conjunction with directing charitable giving. The individuals and businesses gain recognition for their charitable donations through a visual representation on the charitable social media platform as well as on other social media platforms where the information is shared. The visual representation may be graphical symbols, numerical values of charitable impact, or name/pictures shown in lists displayed on the social profiles of the individuals or businesses that contribute or someone else's profile pages.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2017Publication date: August 10, 2017Inventors: Steven Jackson, Grant Micheal Briston, Edward Hibrert, Matthew Lishman, Peter Riddell

Patent number: 7713415Abstract: Submerged media useful with or without aeration and/or mixing to enhance an aquatic environment by promoting and retaining biogrowth. The media takes the form of a cluster of individual flexible elements having free ends. The media are submerged in a liquid such as a water or wastewater treatment basin or an aquaculture environment. The media are characterized by the ability to promote and retain microbial growth. The media clusters have substantial flow through thicknesses to provide a three dimensional effect along with baffling for increased contact with the liquid being treated. The media may be thin strips constructed to avoid sticking together to allow maximum exposed surface area. The media clusters can create oxic, anoxic and anaerobic environments for maximum treatment during flow through the media cluster. The flexibility of the media elements and their free ends automatically dislodges excessive biomass buildup to avoid clogging of the media.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2009Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: Environmental Dynamics, Inc.Inventors: Charles E. Tharp, Peter Riddell
