Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for producing non-rotationally symmetric optical aberrations. Such aberrations may be created by a removable attachment that may be attached to another lens, such as a spherical lens. Aberrations that appear to reproduce an anamorphic effect may be produced, yet the underlying camera system may remain a spherical camera system, and the capture mode may remain non-anamorphic.

Abstract: A recessed lighting fixture, comprising a non-metallic housing having a central opening adapted to receive an LED lamp therethrough. The housing is formed of a front-facing trim ring surrounding the central opening and a rear portion coupled to a rear of the trim ring about the LED lamp. The rear portion includes at least two peripheral flanges that extend backward from the trim ring and terminate in a spring-clip support. A spring clip is coupled to each of the spring clip supports and is rotatably biased toward a front of the housing to bear against a backside of a recessed opening when the housing is inserted into the recessed opening and when the trim ring bears against a frontside of the recessed opening.

Abstract: A submersible rotatable cage for fish farming comprises a central axle, a buoyant structure positioned about the central axle, and a netting attached to the buoyant structure. An actuator can be placed in operable communication with at least part of the buoyant structure to facilitate rotation of the buoyant structure about the central axle while the cage is in a submerged position. The cage can form part of a system, which includes a net cleaning apparatus, a tethering mechanism and sweep net, that forms the basis for underwater fish farming.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and for enhancing productivity of ruminant animals. Particularly, a method comprising determining particular corn hybrids of specific endosperm type and NDF content for use as silage and/or a grain supplement and combining other diet components to form a feed ration that optimizes the site of starch digestion, and a feed made using the method of the invention.

Abstract: An optical coupler for use within a sink assembly comprising a countertop having a countertop bore formed therethrough and a sink basin mounted above the countertop, the basin having a bore co-axial with the countertop bore for receiving the terminal end of a water drain pipe passing up through the countertop to the sink basin. The light coupler includes a light coupler body having a lower portion received through the countertop bore and an upper portion resting on the countertop about the countertop bore. The water drain pipes passes up through a bore formed through the light coupler body, the coupler further having a light-transmissive portion coupling the lower portion with the upper portion. Light from a light source located proximal the lower surface of the light coupler body lower portion is admitted through the lower surface and transmitted up through the light coupler body and out the upper surface to the sink basin.
