Abstract: The present disclosure includes a nozzle and methods for using the nozzle in ways that may increase the efficiency of extraction of essential elements from plant matter. The nozzle may also be used to increase the efficiency of drying solvent saturated plant matter after an extraction has been completed. The nozzle may include an elongated tube with a plurality of holes that allow solvent and/or a gas to be provided or pumped/provided into an apparatus that includes plant matter. Nozzles consistent with the present disclosure may be optimized for extracting cannabis from cannabis plant matter or from other types of plants that include cannabinoids. In certain instances, nozzles may also be used when processing cannabinoid containing concentrates that were extracted from plant matter using any type of extraction technique.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for extracting cannabinoids from cannabis plant material plant material and for transporting low concentrations of cannabinoids in a solution of solvent may include a solvent tank, a hopper, and one or more pumps. A plurality of valves may also be incorporated into the invention. Plant material may be soaked, washed, and/or rinsed with a solvent that extracts essential elements from cannabis plant matter. The process may minimally include filling a hopper with plant mater, moving solvent from a solvent tank to the hopper, and moving solvent back to the solvent tank after an extraction. Repeating this process a plurality of times with new plant material increases the concentration cannabinoids in the solvent tank after each time the process is performed.

Abstract: The invention extends the utility of apparatus used to extract medicinal cannabis compounds into an eluate by separating a portion of medicinal cannabis compounds contained within a portion of eluate at a first extraction target level providing enough clean solvent to continue extraction operations. A high efficiency concentrator such as a rotary evaporator or a wiped film evaporator processes eluate from one or more tanks or extraction vessels creating clean solvent when extraction targets are met or when clean solvent is exhausted. This manages eluate concentration levels and limits the quantity of concentrated medicinal cannabis compounds on site at any moment in time. The invention enables a business model for keeping medicinal cannabis compounds within a legal system, and reduces pollution because law enforcement would no longer have to burn large quantities of cannabis plant matter.

The best mode of the invention extracts cannabinoids and/or cannabis related essential elements from the cannabis plant matter and stores it in a solvent bath in a low density per unit volume of the solvent.

Abstract: A modular electronic device where (predominantly) sealed modules are aligned and attached/connected in pre-determined sequences, forming a robust block-like structure with extendable function: Control and/or inter-module communication are implemented without direct electrical interconnect, by non-contact means such as (magnetic, inductive, light, infrared, radio frequency, sound, ultrasound, or other non-contact means). This device's inter-module power transfer may be with or without direct electrical contact, or devices may be internally powered. Power transfer through inductive/transformer action where one or more alignment pins are used as transformer core is one potential implementation. Modules may be liquid filled to facilitate cooling and/or crush resistance to high-pressure environments.

Abstract: A fluid shock-absorbing/momentum dampening system for packaging delicate objects or equipment (electronic, disk drive, computer, computer screen, optics, lenses binocular, telescope, or other delicate objects or equipment). A system that accelerates a fluid when a member is compressed and/or by using a fluid to reduce an object's kinetic energy, or by using an object's buoyancy to reduce an objects relative momentum. Built by a variety of means a fluid shock absorber/momentum dampen-ER offers superior shock absorption characteristics over conventional approaches.
