Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Sulfite pretreatment for biorefining biomass." This invention relates to a method using sulfite pretreatment to overcome the recalcitrance of lignocellulose, specifically through a sulfite-based chemical process. This process aims to pretreat biomass in solutions, thereby reducing access barriers for enzymes to lignocellulose, which results in efficient conversion through enzymatic saccharification.
Another notable patent is the "Method and system for measuring optical properties of scattering and absorbing materials." This system and method are designed to determine the level of effective residual ink concentration (ERIC) in recycled paper. The process involves illuminating a piece of paper with a beam of radiation and measuring the amount of radiation that is reflected and transmitted. The level of ERIC is then determined based on the reflected and transmitted radiation.
