Publication number: 20230286847Abstract: A water purification system provides clean water for the consumption by livestock by using a continuously recirculating water loop. A circulating pump moves the water and a particle filter system is fluidically connected in series. An ozone purification system is fluidically connected in parallel to a portion of the continuously recirculating feedback monitored and control water loop. The ozone purification system is disposed downstream of the particle filter system in relation to the flow direction. A feeding station is connected in series with the continuously recirculating water loop disposed downstream of the ozone purification system in relation to the flow direction. An alkaline water apparatus is disposed upstream of the ozone purification unit, connected either before or in parallel to the ozone purification system. A decrystallization process apparatus is connected to continuously solubilize gases of CO2, N2, and inert gases with the flowing water.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: WET HOLDINGS (GLOBAL) LIMITEDInventors: Ahmed Abbas Mohamed, Stephen Boyle

Patent number: 10991016Abstract: A method and system for managing a plurality of credit card transactions within an integrated accounting environment. Embodiments of the present disclosure enable integration between financial institutions, organizational accounting systems, and disparate user workflows to overcome deficiencies of the prior art. Specific embodiments enable tracking of credit card charges, credits, and payments directly within an accounts payable interface, enabling the ability to view activity on the credit card account record, register, and vendor record. Methods and systems are operable to establish a real-time data transfer protocol between a financial institution and an organizational accounting application to integrate transaction data in real-time, define vendor association for transactions, and create a real-time credit card register to drive decision making across disparate user roles.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Blackbaud, Inc.Inventors: Deborah Nelson, David Vroblesky, Nicole Guernsey, Julia Petit, David Epner, Stephen Boyle, Beth Kesser, Gautam Chawla, Rakesh Garg, Thomas Walker

Patent number: 10781118Abstract: A water purification system provides clean water for the consumption by livestock by using a continuously recirculating water loop. Optionally, a circulating pump moves the water within the water loop in a flow direction. A water supply inlet is fluidically connected to the water loop to provide additional water. A particle filter system (or systems) is fluidically connected in series and removes dissolved solids or particulates within the water. An ozone purification system and/or with the addition of other antimicrobial or purification agents is fluidically connected in parallel to a portion of the continuously recirculating feedback monitored and control water loop. The ozone purification system is disposed downstream of the particle filter system and RO (or similar) system in relation to the flow direction. A feeding station is connected in series with the continuously recirculating water loop disposed downstream of the ozone purification system in relation to the flow direction.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2017Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: CUROZONE IRELAND LIMITEDInventor: Stephen Boyle

Patent number: 10406219Abstract: Provided herein is a multivalent Brucella vaccine expressing at least one heterologous M. tuberculosis antigen. The vaccines described herein serve as an environmentally safe bivalent vaccine for protection against Brucella and Mycobacterium infections simultaneously. In particular, a multivalent vaccine comprising a Brucella strain transformed with a vector that expresses at least one M. tuberculosis antigen, where the M. tuberculosis antigen(s) is codon optimized for the Brucella strain is provided. In some aspects, the Brucella strain is B. abortus strain RB51 leuB and the M. tuberculosis antigen is one or more of Ag85B, Rv2660c, and ESAT6.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2015Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Virginia Tech Intellectual Properties, Inc.Inventors: Sriranganathan Nammalwar, Hamzeh Al Qublan, Garrett Smith, Stephen Boyle, Gerhardt Schurig
