Publication number: 20250011668Abstract: A feedstock delivery system transfers a carbonaceous material, such as municipal solid waste, into a product gas generation system. The feedstock delivery system includes a splitter for splitting bulk carbonaceous material into a plurality of carbonaceous material streams. Each stream is processed using a weighing system for gauging the quantity of carbonaceous material, a densification system for forming plugs of carbonaceous material, a de-densification system for breaking up the plugs of carbonaceous material, and a gas and carbonaceous material mixing system for forming a carbonaceous material and gas mixture. A pressure of the mixing gas is reduced prior to mixing with the carbonaceous material, and the carbonaceous material to gas weight ratio is monitored. A transport assembly conveys the carbonaceous material and gas mixture to a first reactor where at least the carbonaceous material within the mixture is subject to thermochemical reactions to form the product gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Inventors: Ravi Chandran, Daniel A. Burciaga, Daniel Michael Leo, Shawn Robert Freitas, Dave G. Newport, Justin Kevin Miller, Kaitlin Emily Harrington, Brian Christopher Attwood

Patent number: 12077435Abstract: A system and method for processing unconditioned syngas first removes solids and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC), then removes volatile organic compounds (VOC), and then removes at least one sulfur containing compound from the syngas. Additional processing may be performed depending on such factors as the source of syngas being processed, the products, byproducts and intermediate products desired to be formed, captured or recycled and environmental considerations.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2023Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: ThermoChem Recovery International, Inc.Inventors: Ravi Chandran, Daniel Michael Leo, Shawn Robert Freitas, Dave G. Newport, Hamilton Sean Michael Whitney, Daniel A. Burciaga

Patent number: 10310720Abstract: Systems and methods for editing an image file include a server and at least one client device of the server including a display. An imaging module accesses from the server an image file including image content and a header, wherein the header provides information regarding the image file. An editing module receives user edits to the image content and insert information regarding the user edits into the header. The imaging module applies the user edits in an order that is determined based on a weight assigned to each user edit. The imaging module may also access, from the server, an image file including image content and a header thereof, wherein the header provides information regarding the image file and an edit decision list reflecting historical user edits to the image content. The editing module then identifies the edit decision list in the header for application by the imaging module.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2016Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Visual Supply CompanyInventors: Zachary Daniel Hodges, Robert A. Newport

Patent number: 10147155Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for adjusting a perspective of an image are described. Pixels from each of a plurality of rows of the image are removed, where the count of pixels removed is based on a location of the corresponding row in the image. In one example embodiment, the image is rotated prior to and after removal of the pixels based on the type of perspective alteration.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2014Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Visual Supply CompanyInventors: Zachary Daniel Hodges, Robert A. Newport, Rekil Prashanth

Patent number: 9674452Abstract: A system and method for correcting the perspective of visual data in real-time is disclosed. A electronic device accesses live visual data through a camera associated with an electronic device. The electronic device displays the live visual data on a display associated with the electronic device. The electronic device detects tilt data from a sensor associated with the electronic device, wherein tilt data indicates that the electronic device has tilted from an original angle to a current angle. In response to detecting tilt data from the sensor associated with the electronic device, the electronic devices alters the displayed live visual data to correct a live perspective of a live video feed.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2016Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Visual Supply CompanyInventors: Zachary Daniel Hodges, Robert A.

Publication number: 20160232644Abstract: A system, a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method are described herein for a Difference File Generator that receives at least one edit to at least one pixel of a source image file. The Difference File Generator generates a first edited version of the source image file having at least one edited pixel. Each edited pixel comprises a pixel resulting from the at least one edit to a respective pixel of the source image file. The Difference File Generator generates a pixel difference file comprising pixel difference data. The Pixel difference data indicates a difference between each respective pixel of the source image file and a corresponding edited pixel in the first edited version of the source image file.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2015Publication date: August 11, 2016Inventors: Zachary Daniel Hodges, Robert A.
