Colleen, here's what piqued my interest (and thanks to ITS FOR REAL for calling Ron Atwood to my attention):

This from the MYNG website:

And here is what I found:

PAT. NO. Title
1 4,997,549 Air-sparged hydrocyclone separator
2 4,923,510 Treatment of refractory carbonaceous sulfide ores for gold recovery

And here is how dictionary.com defines numerous:

nu·mer·ous adj.
Amounting to a large number; many.

Colleen, you think MYNG is puffing up the bio just a bit? (Not that this detracts from Mr. Atwood, but isn't it a little like lying about your academic credentials? Cleary Atwood has patents, but numerous patents?) I hope I'm mistaken, and that there are other Atwood patents out there that I didn't pick up. Do you have any company contacts to get a listing of Mr. Atwood's patents, by patent number, so they can be verified?
