  • Patent number: 10732614
    Abstract: A process design and management system for batch manufacturing of pharmaceuticals products. The system permits a user to create a chemical process design based on the user's input data and retrieved process library data which includes material data, process data, and equipment data. The system includes software objects defining operations sequences, and processing operation parameters including materials flows and balances, cycle time, constraints, equipment, generic equipment capability requirements, specific equipment capability requirements, and actual capacity analysis. A graphical user interface allowing multiple views of the chemical process design, including one or more of a design view, process flow view, time cycle view, and instructions view.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2020
    Assignee: Neo PLM, Inc.

  • Patent number: 9976096
    Abstract: The invention provides fuel mixtures containing biodiesel oil, glycerol, glycerol soluble compounds, surfactants and additives. The fuel mixtures are uniform, remain suspended in solution, and are resistant to phase separation. Upon combustion, the mixtures generate reduced CO, CO2, SOx, NOx and particulate matter emissions compared to petroleum fuels and offer improved engine performance over petroleum and water mixtures.
