Welcome to the 7th of May 2024: Our goal is to celebrate the patent holders who have reached noteworthy milestones in their fields this week.

Max P McDaniel

Chevron Phillips Chemical Co. LLC

Max McDaniel is a Senior Fellow Scientist at Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, where he has been responsible for significant advances in catalyst technologies for the polymerization and trimerization of ethylene, to produce high performance polyethylene and 1-hexene.

Leading a small group of researchers for 40 years, he invented and commercialized numerous new chromium and metallocene based catalyst technologies which have been adopted by dozens of polyethylene manufacturing plants throughout the world. For example, he was the first scientist to investigate the ability of chromium catalysts to impart long chain branching (LCB) in polyethylene, and the important role that the catalyst physical structure plays in that process.

He devised catalysts to simultaneously produce comonomer and copolymer. LCB controls nearly every aspect of polymer processing and molding behavior. His discoveries led to the manipulation and development of many diverse polyethylene grades with both improved properties and processability.

Max has also received numerous awards and worldwide recognition for his scientific discoveries including several from the American Chemical Society, the National Inventors Hall of Fame, the Oklahoma Bar Association, and R&D Magazine’s Most Innovative New Products Award.

Patent №: 11976142 (May 7, 2024) – Methods of preparing a catalyst. A hydrogel is described containing water and multiple titanium-silica-chromium nanoparticle agglomerates. Each agglomerate consists of tightly clustered nanoparticles with a consistent average titanium penetration depth (x) and a low variation coefficient (less than 1.0). The silica content in the hydrogel ranges from about 10 wt. % to about 35 wt. % of the total hydrogel weight.

Patent №: 11976029 (May 7, 2024) – Chromium-catalyzed production of alcohols from hydrocarbons in the presence of oxygen. Processes are disclosed for converting hydrocarbons into alcohols and/or carbonyls using supported chromium (VI) or chromium (II) catalysts, with optional UV-visible light irradiation. Exposure to an oxidizing atmosphere followed by hydrolysis produces the desired compounds. Oxygen presence enhances the yield of these products and the formation of oxygenated dimers and trimers.

Carlos M Pignataro

Innovation and technology leader, driving value at the intersection of Technology, Business, and Planet, with passion for social sustainability, conservation, and climate.

Carlos Pignataro has held various technology and executive roles at Cisco. Most recently, he was Head of Technology and Data for Cisco’s Engineering Sustainability, and previously held roles of Distinguished Engineer and CTO for the Services Global Service Provider and CX businesses.

Carlos serves as mentor in residence at Duke University, adjunct faculty at North Carolina State University, as member in various Board of Directors, is a Fellow at the National Academy of inventors.

Originally from Argentina, Carlos lives in North Carolina, US, enjoys volunteering and traveling, and values humor and connecting with people.

Currently consulting on selected projects and engagements, and focusing on social and environmental sustainability, ecosystem conservation, and the intersection with technology innovation.

Patent №: 11979744 (May 7, 2024) – Federation policy exchange. Federation policy exchange involves responding to a sharing query from an Access Point (AP) by determining if it aligns with sharing preferences and, if so, authorizing identity data sharing per a network’s sharing policy. The process also includes notifying via the AP that the network supports federated identities with data sharing, and sending the network’s sharing policy to User Equipment (UE) upon receiving preferences indicating a desire for negotiation.

Patent №: 11979403 (May 7, 2024) – Token-based device tracking. Embodiments describe an access node disconnecting a device for a network violation, then receiving data about another device with a different MAC address. If the access node determines, using certificate server data, that this second device is actually the first, the connection request is denied.

Andrew J Murphy

Executive Vice President, Research at Regeneron.

Dr. Murphy joined Regeneron in 1999 as director of genomics and bioinformatics. In his time at the company, he has led the gene discovery and bioinformatics and target discovery groups.

Dr. Murphy is a co-inventor of several of Regeneron’s key technologies, VelociGene^® and VelocImmune^®, and continues to lead several technology centers and therapeutic focus areas.

Prior to joining Regeneron, Dr. Murphy worked for seven years at Cadus Pharmaceuticals. He received his B.S. in molecular biology at the University of Wisconsin, and his Ph.D. in human genetics from Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Patent №: 11977081 (May 7, 2024) – ANGPTL8 assay and uses thereof. The present invention provides ELISA-based methods for detecting and/or quantifying ANGPTL8 in biological samples using anti-ANGPTL8 antibodies.
