Abstract: Treating a non-wine alcoholic beverage including: exposing the non-wine alcoholic beverage to an ion exchange matrix. The ion exchange matrix includes a mixture of cation exchange media and anion exchange media that includes: (1) cation exchange media that are in hydrogen form, (2) cation exchange media that are in mineral form comprising potassium mineral form, (3) anion exchange media that are in hydroxide form, and (4) anion exchange media that are in chloride mineral form. The exposing results in: binding ions of the mixture to one or more cationic or anionic constituents present in the pretreated beverage, reducing concentrations of the one or more cationic or anionic constituents in the beverage and maintaining a conductivity value of the treated beverage equal to or greater than the pretreated beverage's conductivity value. An apparatus for treating a non-wine alcoholic beverage and a treated non-wine alcoholic beverage prepared by a process are also disclosed.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed for cooling using both air and/or liquid cooling sub circuits. A vapor compression cooling system having both an air and liquid cooling sub circuit designed to service high sensible process heat loads that cannot be solely cooled by either liquid or air is provided.

Abstract: An HVAC system for controlling conditions in one or more grow rooms. The HVAC system includes pumps, sensors, controller(s) and valve(s) that mitigate undesired over cooling, which may result in thermally stressing the plants. To counteract the undesired overcooling the HVAC system utilizes reheat to return grow room temperatures to optimal conditions.

Abstract: A treated wine beverage prepared by a process including exposing a pretreated wine beverage to an ion exchange matrix. The ion exchange matrix includes a mixture of cation exchange media and anion exchange media that includes: (1) cation exchange media that are in hydrogen form, (2) cation exchange media that are in mineral form comprising potassium mineral form, (3) anion exchange media that are in hydroxide form, and (4) anion exchange media that are in chloride mineral form. The exposing results in: binding ions of the mixture to one or more cationic or anionic constituents present in the pretreated wine, reducing concentrations of the one or more cationic or anionic constituents in the wine and maintaining a conductivity value of the treated wine equal to or greater than the pretreated wine beverage's conductivity value.

Abstract: A method of treating an beverage, comprising exposing a beverage to an ion exchange matrix that includes a mixture of cation exchange beads and anion exchange beads each capable of binding to one or more cationic or anionic constituents present in the beverage and thereby reduce concentrations of the one or more cationic or anionic constituents in the beverage and capable of maintaining a pH of the beverage within ±0.5 pH units of the beverage's pretreatment pH value. The cationic or anionic constituents have a noxious effect on humans and the cation exchange beads include a cationic mineral form and the anion exchange beads include a chloride mineral form.

Abstract: A system and method for on-site remediation and sanitization of household items preferably uses a HEPA vacuum to remove surface microbials from the item being remediated. The item is then placed into a sealable plastic vacuum bag having a connection port that allows a vacuum to remove air from the bag, collapsing the bag over the item (which has first been braced to the extent necessary to prevent damage to the item). Once the air has been extracted from the vacuum bag air is introduced into the bag, preferably by using a blower, whereby a fogger can be used to introduce a remediating fog into the bag with the remediating fog surrounding the item. Next, the vacuum is used to again collapse the bag around the item, thereby infusing the remediating fog into the item. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the steps of inflating, fogging, and collapsing may be repeated one or more times to thoroughly infuse the remediating solution into the item, after which the item is removed from the vacuum bag.

Abstract: A surface patterned contact lens is composed of a silicon hydrogel and has one or more surface regions that are patterned with nano-scale roughness features, micro-wells, micro-protrusions, and/or micro-channels. The micro-wells, micro-protrusions, and/or micro-channels have depths and heights that are on nanometer dimensions. The nano-scale roughness features have dimensions less than 200 nm in width, depth or height. The surface patterns do not diffract light and do not inhibit the clarity that can be detected by the eye. A method of preparing the surface patterned contact lens involves molding, where a complementary negative of the surface patterned contact lens is displayed by the mold.
