  • Patent number: 11969674
    Abstract: A liquid filtering bag comprises a liquid-permeable fabric and zipper. When the zipper is fully engaged, the fabric folds to form a liquid filtering bag suitable for filtering liquids. When the zipper is fully disengaged, the fabric unfolds to form a flat sheet suitable for thorough washing.

  • Publication number: 20240032578
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods that utilize dietary electrolyte salts to improve the flavor of high-potency sweeteners and to enhance the synergistic effects between high-potency sweeteners and carbohydrate sweeteners. Specific dosage levels of dietary potassium and sodium have been discovered that correct the flavor deficits of existing high-potency sweeteners related to off-flavor, after-taste, thin mouth-feel, and loss of sweetness at high doses. In addition, these dosage levels of dietary electrolytes amplify the synergy between high-potency sweeteners and trace quantities of carbohydrate sweeteners. Consequently, electrolyte-enhanced sweetener compositions elicit sweetness, flavor, and mouth-feel profiles nearly indistinguishable from pure sugar. These compositions possess negligible calories and are compatible with a wide range of foods, beverages, serving, and preparation conditions and with food labels related to natural, organic, GMO free, allergen free, and gluten free.

  • Publication number: 20240009162
    Abstract: Provided are methods for enhancing cellular metabolism and cellular repair in a tissue of a subject in need thereof. The method includes administering a dose of at least an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor glycine site agonist, an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor REDOX site agonist, and a nuclear factor erythroid 2-related receptor agonist; wherein the dose induces cellular metabolic fitness activation in the subject. The method for enhancing cellular metabolism and cellular repair synergistically modulates a positive-feedback signal-amplification cycle comprising NMDAR and NRF2 in cells, which, in turn, promotes cellular metabolic fitness (CMF) in a tissue of a subject in need thereof.

  • Patent number: 11707153
    Abstract: A liquid filtering press comprises two rigid baskets that stack together in a nested fashion to squeeze a filtration bag containing an unfiltered liquid. The liquid permeable baskets permit liquid to flow out freely through the entire surface of the filtration bag while preventing direct hand-to-liquid contact during pressing. A linkage between the baskets facilitates opening, closing, and pressing operations.

  • Publication number: 20230115416
    Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions for promoting cellular metabolism and cellular repair in a tissue of a subject in need thereof. The composition includes at least one N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) modulator to modulate metabolic activity in cells and at least one nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) modulator to modulate repair activity in cells. Optionally, the composition also includes at least one inactive component and at last one microbial modulator. The composition synergistically modulates a positive-feedback signal-amplification cycle comprising NMDAR and NRF2 in cells, which, in turn, promotes cellular metabolic fitness (CMF) in a tissue of a subject in need thereof.
