In clinical settings, it is important that allied-health professionals can measure body composition to determine potential risk of obesity-related health complications, as well as to track progress during pharmacological, dietary, or physical activity programs aimed at fat loss. In sport-performance settings, athletes must measure and track improvements in Fat-Free Mass as it is related to strength and power. However, traditional body composition assessment techniques are expensive, not portable, and require a great deal of technical expertise to administer. However, recently anthropometric measurements of body size and shape have been used to estimate body composition, overcoming many of the barriers experienced with other techniques. The methods and systems described in this invention measure the anatomical dimensions of an individual from a single two-dimensional (2D) digital image. The digital image is taken from the front/anterior view using a mobile, handheld communication device. The linear measurements are used to estimate the body volume of the individual, from which total body density can be calculated from the estimated body volume and body weight. Body composition (Fat Mass and Fat-Free Mass) of the individual is derived from density using known mathematical conversion formulas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100728,"journal":{"name":"Invention Disclosure","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100040"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144722426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With its atom-efficient, one-pot preparation from a plentiful natural biomass derivative (glucose), the current catalyst benefits the environment and has the potential to lower the overall cost of producing biodiesel by converting cheap raw materials. The diminishing supply of fossil fuels coupled with the polluting effects of their use is driving the quest for more sustainable sources of energy. The pursuit of producing biodiesel from affordable, non-edible oil has become progressively significant due to its dual benefits of sustainability and cost-efficiency. In this context, <em>Jatropha curcas</em> oil (JCO) has gained attention in the energy sector, as it holds promise as a viable feedstock for biodiesel manufacturing and a renewable energy solution for numerous nations. Additionally, the catalyst exhibited exceptional physical stability and reactivity throughout 5 consecutive cycles, establishing its potential as a highly promising catalyst for sustainable biodiesel manufacture.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100728,"journal":{"name":"Invention Disclosure","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100020"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772444124000016/pdfft?md5=81c5989e602f24450b829369714be0be&pid=1-s2.0-S2772444124000016-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139675935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
