Publication number: 20120175302Abstract: Waste-treatment processes are enhanced through generation and introduction of specific biological populations customized to perform or favor specific tasks either during the main process, for the formation or precipitation of certain biological nutrients, or to accomplish solids formation reduction in a post-treatment process. These bacteria may be grown from specialized mixes of activated sludge and waste influent by exposing these materials to controlled environments (e.g., in an off-line treatment area). They may then be returned to the main process to perform certain tasks such as converting particulate cBOD into soluble cBOD for utilization, to reduce high solids yield organisms by supplementing the population characteristics with low yield organism characteristics, to provide biological nutrients or oxygenation assistance, to improve nitrification/denitrification efficiency, or to disfavor filamentous biology such as Norcardia sp.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2011Publication date: July 12, 2012Inventor: Daniel Robert Miklos

Patent number: 6833074Abstract: Waste-treatment processes are enhanced through generation and introduction of specific biological populations customized to perform or favor specific, tasks either during the main process, or for solids minimization purposes in a post-treatment process. These bacteria may be grown from specialized mixes of activated sludge and waste influent by exposing these materials to controlled environments (e.g., in an off-line treatment area). They may then be added back to the main process to perform certain tasks such as converting particulate cBOD into soluble cBOD for utilization, to reduce high solids yield organisms by supplementing the population with low yield organisms, to improve nitrification/denitrification efficiency, or to disfavor filamentous biology such as Norcardia sp.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2003Date of Patent: December 21, 2004Inventor: Daniel Robert Miklos

Patent number: 5735927Abstract: Core/clad glass optical fiber preforms free of bubbles and soot at the coclad interface are fabricated by inserting a glass core rod into a cladding glass tube sized so that space remains between them, sealing the top and bottom of the tube onto the core rod to form a sealed space between them which is relatively soot free and under a vacuum and then hot isostatically pressing the sealed composite to collapse the tube onto the rod and also collapse bubbles in the glass. Soot formation is avoided or minimized by purging the space with inert gas while the bottom of the tube is collapsed onto the rod and by sealing the top under a dynamic vacuum and at the lowest possible temperature to avoid soot formation without cracking the glass. The space is vacuum outgassed before the second seal is made. Chalcogenide fiber drawn from a preform made in this fashion exhibits very low transmission losses.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 1996Date of Patent: April 7, 1998Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Jasbinder Sanghera, Pablo Pureza, Ishwar Aggarwal, Robert Miklos
