  • Publication number: 20250127160
    Abstract: Stable nanoemulsions of a terpene-rich cannabidiol by-product (TP) and/or its distillate (DTP) can be used to effectively make pesticides, herbicides, and other bioactive products. A terpene-rich by-product (TP) can be provided, suitably by isolation from a commercial cannabidiol production process. The enriched terpene distillate (DTP) can be obtained from steam distillation of some or all of the TP. The TP and/or DTP can be combined with a surfactant to form an emulsion, which can then be sonicated to form the stable nanoemulsion. It has been discovered that the formulation of stable nanoemulsions using the terpene by-products as the lipophilic phase can effectively deliver desired levels of bioactivity while overcoming or mitigating the known drawbacks of high lipophilicity, high volatility, and propensity to thermal and oxidative degradation, all of which can lead to reduced efficacy.

  • Patent number: 11509419
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for acknowledgement and retransmission, and more specifically, to methods, devices and systems that enable a secondary wireless channel to provide acknowledgements of data transmitted on a primary wireless channel concurrently with the reception of additional data on the primary wireless channel. In some implementations, a transmitting device may transmit wireless packets including multiple codewords to a receiving device via a first wireless channel. The receiving device may attempt to decode the received codewords based on primary information in the codewords. The receiving device may then transmit to the transmitting device, via a second wireless channel, a codeword acknowledgement that identifies codewords that the receiving device did not successfully decode. The transmitting device may then transmit parity information to the receiving device via the first wireless channel that aids the receiving device in decoding the identified codewords.
