  • Patent number: 11937533
    Abstract: A planter includes a seed a delivery system for delivering seed from one or more hoppers to one or more row units of the planter. The seed delivery system includes a number of seed entrainers. The seed entrainers receive seed from the one or more hoppers. The seed is combined with a fluid, such as air, which moves the seed through the seed entrainer and towards one or more row units of the planter. The entrainer includes one or more outlets, with the outlets corresponding to different row units, and the outlets can be varied based upon the need of seed delivery for the planter.

  • Publication number: 20230265567
    Abstract: A method of producing graphite may include beneficiating an amount of coal to form a coal char, grinding the coal char to produce a crushed char and placing the crushed char in a porous container. Then, the method includes immersing the porous container in a molten salt bath. The molten salt bath includes a graphite anode. The method further includes applying an electrical potential across the porous container and the graphite anode such that a graphite deposit forms on the graphite anode. The graphite anode is removed from the molten salt bath and the graphite deposit is separated from the graphite anode to produce graphite fragments.

  • Publication number: 20230158027
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of treatment comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a myosin modulator or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a subject in need thereof and diagnostic methods useful in connection with those treatments. Due to observations unfolding in clinical trials with mavacamten and with mavacamten and other myosin inhibitors in the pre-clinical setting, new insights into how myosin inhibitors can be used beneficially to impact the disease state of HCM and other diseases are provided herein.

  • Publication number: 20220347612
    Abstract: A method of removing carbon dioxide from a gas can include providing a gaseous feed stream including a carbon dioxide gas and adsorbing the carbon dioxide gas with a porous carbon sorbent. The method can further include de-adsorbing the carbon dioxide and combining the carbon dioxide with a substantially pure hydrogen gas to produce at least one of methane and methanol. The adsorbing and de-adsorbing of the carbon dioxide gas can be conducted by an electric swing adsorption.
