Patent number: 8986666Abstract: Methods of treating animal litter and/or bedding material for control of volatile ammonia and soluble phosphorous include applying granular partially hydrated ferric sulfate to the litter. The partially hydrated ferric sulfate ranges from gray to tan in color and is spread onto the litter at a rate effective to reduce ammonia volatilization and reduce soluble phosphorous. Relative to reagent grade ferric sulfate, the partially hydrated ferric sulfate exhibits lower hygroscopicity and higher deliquescence. The ferric sulfate is prepared by a process comprising oxidizing ferrous sulfate with sulfuric acid using a molecular oxygen oxidizing agent at an elevated pressure relative to atmospheric and at a temperature of 60° C. to 140° C. to produce a gray to tan colored granular product.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2011Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Kemira Water Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Jan J. Pavlicek, Victor Johnson

Publication number: 20100191639Abstract: A computer system (1) constitutes a primary exchange for creating and trading derivative securities that secure a claim of a nominal derivative security value e.g. $1 or £1 that is contingent on movement of a numerical variable such as a stock price. The system comprises: (a) a database (4-14) for storing data defining purchase offers and offers of sale, (b) inputs for receiving offers from traders (16), (c) a decision unit for determining whether or not a match exists between a purchase offer and an offer of sale in the database in terms of the bid and offer prices, the maturity time, stock price at the maturity time, and type of derivative security etc, (d) a derivative security creation module that creates complementary derivative securities, one for each trader, so that only one derivative security will pay out, and (e) a maturity settlement module for paying appropriate traders at the maturity time out of funds received from both traders at commencement of the trade.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2008Publication date: July 29, 2010Applicant: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTONInventors: Johnnie Eric Victor Johnson, Gyanendra Rao

Publication number: 20100147766Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and a system for separation of fluids and solids present in a slurry, wherein at least one additive is added to the slurry, which slurry then is fed into a coiled tubing for mixing of the at least one additive with the slurry to obtain a mixed slurry, and thereafter the mixed slurry is separated into fluids and solids. Further, the present invention relates to a coiled tubing for mixing of at least one additive and a slurry. The present invention is especially useful in separation of slurries, such as biomasses and manure from different animals such as cattle, but is also applicable for other types of slurries.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2008Publication date: June 17, 2010Inventors: Preben Nissen, Victor Johnson

Publication number: 20090241382Abstract: This disclosure relates to a snow removal accessory and method of use thereof for a vehicle. The accessory has a translation assembly for rotating an axle through action upon a lever connected via the axle to a leg and a wheel. The axle moves under the influence of an extendible cylinder moving from a retracted configuration to an extracted configuration until the wheel and ultimately the accessory is moved from an operative configuration in contact with the ground to a transport configuration where the wheels only are in contact with the ground.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2008Publication date: October 1, 2009Applicant: AGRI-FAB, INC.Inventor: John Victor Johnson

Publication number: 20090149281Abstract: A basketball or soccer training device has a base, a body having a lower body portion and an upper body portion with the lower body portion overlying the base. The upper body portion has a first pair of arms projecting generally outwardly in generally-opposite directions and a second pair of arms projecting generally upwardly in relative spaced relationship. The lower body portion may have a pair of legs terminating in weighted feet. The base may be hollow and be dimensioned and structured to receive an inflatable, basketball training device when in deflated condition. A corresponding method is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2007Publication date: June 11, 2009Inventor: Victor Johnson

Patent number: 7113447Abstract: An acoustic transducer system for acoustic signals in water has at least one hollow spherically-shaped shell for vibrating in response to acoustic signals impinging from the water. The hollow spherically-shaped shell has one or more portions that are reflective of impinging radiation, and a resilient matrix in contact with the water resiliently supports the responsive hollow shell. A laser Doppler velocimeter transmits radiation onto the reflective portion (portions) and receives reflected radiation from the reflective portion (portions). The reflected radiation generates signals in the laser Doppler velocimeter that are representative of the acoustic signals from the water medium. A computer receives the representative signals from the laser Doppler velocimeter and displays them on an interconnected display to determine direction and range to a target. The acoustic signals can originate from the target or can be reflected portions of acoustic energy transmitted from an acoustic projector.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2004Date of Patent: September 26, 2006Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Anthony D. Matthews, Victor Johnson
