Patent number: 9945872Abstract: Cigarette smoking is a primary determinant of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is the fourth leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Unique proteins associated with COPD capable of differentiating subjects likely to experience rapid (RPD) or slow (SLW) decline in lung function have been identified using comprehensive high-throughput proteomic approaches. Thirty peptides, which mapped to 21 unique proteins, were linearly associated with annualized rates of lung function decline among smokers with COPD characterized as having rapid or slow decline and smokers without COPD. Using three different statistical approaches to assess the data, the RPD and SLW groups are differentiated by 55 peptides, which mapped to 33 unique proteins. A number of the identified peptides are proteolytic fragments of proteins that are involved in the complement and/or coagulation systems, have anti-protease activity, or metabolic functions.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2012Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Lineagen, Inc.Inventors: Jason Flora, Barbara K.

Patent number: 9533267Abstract: A multi-stage aeration apparatus includes at least two vertically oriented aeration modules. Each aeration module defines a vertically elongated aeration chamber having a top inlet and a bottom outlet. The bottom outlet of each of the aeration modules feeds a fluid stream comprising liquid and gas into the top inlet of an underlying one of the aeration modules. Each aeration module has an aeration head connected to the top inlet, such that the fluid stream passing through the top inlet into the aeration chamber must pass through the aeration head, the aeration head aerating the liquid with the gas in the fluid stream.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Seair Inc.Inventors: Kyle Greene, Todd Webb

Patent number: 9315405Abstract: A method of treating produced water containing hydrocarbons includes introducing microbubbles of a lift gas into the produced water in a separation stage to float oil to a surface of the produced water. The top layer of oil is removed from the surface of the produced water. Microbubbles of an oxidizing gas are introduced into the produced water in an aeration stage to oxidize contaminants. Microbubbles of an ultra-violet light treated oxidizing gas are introduced into the produced water in an advanced oxidation stage to oxidize remaining contaminants.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2011Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Seair Inc.Inventors: Kyle Greene, Todd Webb, Mike Zelen

Patent number: 9091903Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a camera having two modes: a visible light imaging mode (day-mode) and an IR imaging mode (night-mode). In the visible light imaging mode, an IR filter is in line with the lens assembly. In the IR imaging mode, the IR filter is mechanically removed, and IR light is allowed to pass to the sensor. In one embodiment, in the IR imaging mode, IR lighting is provided by an IR LEDs on the camera to illuminate the scene. In one embodiment, the various components are chosen, balanced and optimized so that images captured using visible light and images captured using non-visible light are both in focus. In one embodiment, an algorithm determines when there sufficient visible light is present and when it is not, and thus determines when to switch the camera from one mode to another.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2010Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Philip Alan Bunker, Mark Nelson, Jeffrey B.

Patent number: 9020887Abstract: Managing the status of documents in a distributed storage system is disclosed. Upon determining that a first version exists and a second version having a predecessor version identifier exists, the predecessor version identifier is used to determine that the second version is related to the first version. Based upon the existence of the related second version, the status of the first version is updated.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2005Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Proofpoint, Inc.Inventors: John-Thomas Calderon Ngo, James Todd Webb

Patent number: 9001207Abstract: A motion detection method of a video camera includes calculating differences for a sum of accumulated differences (?SAD) for corresponding macro blocks in successive frames of video. The method may include identifying motion-generative macroblocks and regions of connected macroblocks. Candidate-motion regions may be defined in a frame and a bounding box may be formed around each of the candidate-motion regions. If corresponding bounding boxes in a plurality of successive frames have substantially the same location, size, and shape in the plurality of successive frames, and if the plurality of successive frames are in a temporal window of successive frames, then the corresponding bounding boxes may indicate motion.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2011Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Todd Webb, Jeremy Noring, Charles Coffing

Publication number: 20120256011Abstract: A method of high flow gas diffusion is described involving the following steps. Firstly, positioning at least one diffuser in an upper portion of a vessel. Secondly, filling the upper portion of the vessel with a gas to create a gas zone. Thirdly, passing a liquid through the at least one diffuser to create at least two liquid streams that impinge upon each other in the gas zone in a shearing action that causes the liquid to interact with the gas. Fourthly, collecting and removing treated liquid from a lower portion of the vessel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2010Publication date: October 11, 2012Applicant: SEAIR INC.Inventors: Harold Kinasewich, Kyle Greene, Todd Webb
