In article 
<CAC8QAce0Y8AUGxZqcLMbpeGkC1y8aQ+z4kyfNg2xSMSVASqSmw(_at_)mail(_dot_)gmail(_dot_)com>
 you write:
Alexey since you already published them I don't think you can patent them.

In the U.S. there is a one year grace period after publication to submit a 
patent application.  In other countries the rules vary.

But again, don't expect reliable legal advice on a mailing list.

R's,
John
