Abstract: A new method and apparatus for freezing food products utilizing a conventional refrigeration cycle. Refrigerant is fed into an array of heat transfer tubes mounted for immersion in a container of perishable food product whereby heat is transferred from the food product to the refrigerant causing the food product to freeze within a predetermined radius of each heat transfer tube. Each heat transfer tube is comprised of an outer fluid conveying member and an inner fluid conveying member that is generally coaxial or concentric with the outer fluid conveying member. After the food product is frozen, the food product container is lowered, leaving the frozen food product suspended by the heat transfer tubes. A support is placed under the frozen product. The frozen product is removed from the apparatus by heating the tubes so as to thaw a quantity of frozen material in the immediate vicinity of the tubes, which causes the weight of the product to shift from the tubes to the support.

Abstract: A harness is disclosed that fits over an animal's head, such as a dog, and buckles around his chest behind the front legs. Straps, independent of the harness, are fitted around the dogs front legs and are attached to the leash through four D-rings (two D-rings attached to each side of the harness). The lower D-rings are located in such a position that the leg straps, when pulled back by the person walking the dog, pull straight back or perpendicular to the dogs legs. As the animal tries to walk faster or pull faster than the person walking the dog walks, the straps around the dog's legs pull back perpendicular to the dog's legs preventing the animal from walking faster than the person walking the dog. The harness is designed to restrict the movement of the dogs front legs by the force of the dogs own pulling power. The more the dog tries to pull, the less movement the dog has in his front legs.
