Abstract: A bucket and blade assembly has a bucket with opposing side walls, a bottom floor, and a back wall with a centrally located cylinder rod mount. Concentric cylinders ranging from smallest to largest form a telescoping hydraulic cylinder in which the smallest has a cylinder rod mount coupling disposed at one end for engaging the cylinder rod mount. The largest cylinder is engaged in a floating trunnion mount cylinder. The blade is slidably disposed within the bucket with a capped cylinder disposed thereon having an opening into the capped cylinder for accommodating the largest cylinder opposite the rod mount coupling.

Abstract: A process and system for recovering protein and lipid from food animal byproducts, and the products thereof, involves homogenizing animal byproducts with water to form a homogenate, solubilizing the homogenate by adjusting the pH of the homogenate to form a first pH adjusted composition, separating the first pH adjusted composition forming a light fraction containing lipids (oil), a medium fraction containing protein in solution, and a heavy fraction containing fat-free impurities, separation by first centrifugation, adjusting the pH of the medium fraction to about the isoelectric point of the proteins thereby precipitating the medium fraction forming a second pH adjusted composition, and separating the second pH adjusted composition forming a light fraction containing water and a heavy fraction containing precipitated proteins. The water may then be recycled and used in the homogenization of further byproducts.

Abstract: A coating, method of coating and substrates coated thereby, wherein the coating contains an inorganic adhesive such as an alkali/alkaline earth metal silicate such as sodium silicate, potassium silicate, calcium silicate, and magnesium silicate; a filler such as a metal oxide for example silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide and boron oxide; and one or more emissivity agents such as silicon hexaboride, carbon tetraboride, silicon tetraboride, silicon carbide, molybdenum disilicide, tungsten disilicide, zirconium diboride, cupric chromite, or metallic oxides such as iron oxides, magnesium oxides, manganese oxides, chromium oxides and copper chromium oxides, and derivatives thereof. In a coating solution, an admixture of the coating contains water. A stabilizer such as bentonite, kaolin, magnesium alumina silicon clay, tabular alumina and stabilized zirconium oxide may be added.
