Various embodiments include adsorptive techniques. | 08-19-2010 |
20110275845 | RECOVERY OF DESIRED CO-PRODUCTS FROM FERMENTATION STILLAGE STREAMS - Processes and methods of recovering desired products from fermentation stillage are presented, including processes and methods of recovering lipids and aqueous materials. | 11-10-2011 |
20130023682 | RECOVERY OF DESIRED CO-PRODUCTS FROM FERMENTATION STILLAGE STREAMS - Processes and methods of recovering desired products from fermentation stillage are presented, including processes and methods of recovering lipids and aqueous materials. | 01-24-2013 |
20130183630 | THERMOPLASTIC-BASED POLYMER ADHESIVE COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR THEIR USE IN DENTAL APPLICATIONS - A thermoplastic-based polymer adhesive for use in dentistry includes a thermoplastic polymer and an additional polymer or additive including at least one moiety, monomer, or prepolymer capable of changing at least one property of the thermoplastic-based polymer adhesive when exposed to an activation energy. The activation energy may be heat energy and/or sonic or ultrasonic energy. Bonding a dental component to a tooth includes placing the thermoplastic-based polymer adhesive between the dental component and the surface of the tooth and compressing the dental component against the adhesive, and, while compressing, applying an activation energy to cause crosslinking of the additional polymer or additive with the thermoplastic polymer. | 07-18-2013 |
20140050043 | UNIVERSAL IMPRESSION MATERIAL, DELIVERY DEVICE AND SYSTEM - A universal dental impression material system uses a programmable device having containers for separately housing two or more components that form a dental impression material when mixed. A mixing chamber and a dispensing means respectively receive/mix the components and dispense the dental impression material. One or more viscosity modification zones are configured to apply viscosity manipulation to a component prior to mixing, to the components in the mixing chamber during mixing, and/or to the dental impression material in the dispensing means after mixing. A user interface accepts user input of desired properties, such as viscosity, color, work/set time and/or extrusion rate. A controller operatively coupled to the user interface is configured to control dispensing of the components to the mixing chamber, activation as needed of the viscosity modification zones, and dispensing from the dispensing means in response to the user input to achieve the desired properties. | 02-20-2014 |
20140051040 | SCANNING POLYMERIZATION OF DENTAL MATERIAL - The method of curing a dental composite includes forming a composite filling in a cavity of a tooth surface by filling the cavity with an uncured composite and determining the geometry of the composite filling, including locations of interfaces between the composite filling and the tooth surface. The method further includes calculating a predetermined polymerization pattern for minimizing shrinkage stress at the interfaces, based on the geometry of the composite filling, and scanning a focused laser beam across the composite filling in accordance with the predetermined polymerization pattern to selectively and progressively cure the composite filling. | 02-20-2014 |
20140220650 | RECOVERY OF DESIRED CO-PRODUCTS FROM FERMENTATION STILLAGE STREAMS - Processes and methods of recovering desired products from fermentation stillage are presented, including processes and methods of recovering lipids and aqueous materials. | 08-07-2014 |
