Patent number: 11976315Abstract: The invention provides recombinant algal mutants that have a genetic modification to a gene or nucleic acid sequence encoding a WD40 repeat containing protein or domain. The genetic modification of one or more nucleic acid sequences encoding a WD40 repeat containing protein or domain results in a mutant organism with increased lipid productivity and/or higher biomass productivity (as measured by total organic carbon). The genetic modification can be a gene attenuation or functional deletion. The lipid products of these mutants can be utilized as biofuels or for other specialty chemical products. Methods of making and using the recombinant algal mutants and methods of producing lipids are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Viridos, Inc.Inventors: Saheed Imam, Eric R. Moellering, Luke Peach, William F. Lambert, Kathleen Kwok

Patent number: 8989015Abstract: A method and apparatus for addressing a congestion condition in a communication network are disclosed. For example, the method receives an alert for at least one of: a trunk or a Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC), where the trunk or the PVC is associated with a route. The method determines whether the alert is associated with a congestion condition by determining whether a trunk utilization has exceeded a first predetermined threshold for the trunk or for the at least one trunk supporting the PVC. The method then rebuilds the route if the first predetermined threshold is exceeded for the trunk or for the at least one trunk supporting said PVC.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2012Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P.Inventors: Paritosh Bajpay, Chuan-Chuen Chang, Monowar Hossain, Mark Hunt, Thiru Ilango, Michael R.
