An accredited investor is someone who has $1,000,000 of net assets or $300,000 in earnings each of the last two years. If you are not an accredited investor please disregard this page and refer to Univenture.com for information relating to the company. We are not taking any investment from non-accredited investors.

What are feeds? I see "RSS", "XML", and "Atom" out there, but I don't know how I might use these links when I find them.

Feeds are a way for websites large and small to distribute their content well beyond just visitors using browsers. Feeds permit subscription to regular updates, delivered automatically via a web portal, news reader, or in some cases good old email. Feeds also make it possible for site content to be packaged into "widgets," "gadgets," mobile devices, and other bite-sized technologies that make it possible to display blogs, podcasts, and major news/sports/weather/whatever headlines just about anywhere.

Why is This a Good Thing?

Subscribing to feeds makes it possible to review a large amount of online content in a very short time. Feeds permit instant distribution of content and the ability to make it "subscribable." Advertising in feeds overcomes many of the shortcomings that traditional marketing channels encounter including spam filters, delayed distribution, search engine rankings, and general inbox noise.

How do I read feeds?

If you want to browse and subscribe to feeds, you have many choices. Today, there are more than 2,000 different feed reading applications, also known as "news aggregators" (for text, mostly) or "podcatchers" (for podcasts). There are even readers that work exclusively on mobile devices. Some require a small purchase price but are tops for ease-of-use and ship with dozens of feeds pre-loaded so you can explore the feed "universe" right away. Free readers are available as well; a search for "Feed reader" or "Feed aggregator" at popular search sites will yield many results. A handful of popular feed readers are listed at the bottom of this page. A typical interface for a feed reader will display your feeds and the number of new (unread) entries within each of those feeds. You can also organize your feeds into categories and even clip and save your favorite entries (with certain applications). If you prefer, you can use an online, web-based service to track and manage feeds. Online services give you the advantage of being able to access your feed updates anywhere you can find a web browser. Also, upgrades and new features are added automatically.

AVS was selected by the DOE for a $6M ARPA-E award to commercialize its “disruptive” HDD technology.

Algae farming can produce food AND fuel, as well as bioplastics, biofertilizers, and nutraceuticals.

AVS technology unleashes the power of algae to: Capture carbon, remediate water, & replace petroleum.

Industries that produce waste heat, wastewater, and CO2 can grow algae on-site to reduce waste and produce algal fuel and co-products.

AVS is a leader in developing America’s bio-economy.

Developing Technologies, Commercializing Systems

Collaborative work with a range of research institutions to develop a better understanding of algae and its potential to produce economically competitive fuels, materials and other products.

Successful use of algae for fuels and materials requires ultra-low cost cultivation. Rapid Algae Farming is a highly adaptable bio-reactor that cost effectively grows algae at scale.

To address the challenge of harvesting diffuse algae from their growing environment, Rapid Algae Concentration (RAC) utilizes surface kinetics to collect passively algae (and other small particles) out of solution.

Using the principals of liquid adhesion and capillary action, this ARPA-E award winning technology can transform a dilute solution into a solid with 95% less energy than a centrifuge; dramatically improving the economics of many dewatering processes.

Isolating lipids (oils) from algae biomass is a key step in processing algae into products. Work with partners has advanced an extraction process that utilizes super-critical CO2.
