  • Patent number: 4497132
    Abstract: A vertical air-root-pruning container involving a series of vertical offsets or air gaps displaced around the sidewall of a container. The offsets or air gaps are alternately displaced outwardly or inwardly to air-prune spiral root growth in both right and left directions. Such a container inhibits spiral growth, promotes root branching, and results in more even root distribution as well as increased root growth in the growing medium.

  • Patent number: 4183966
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a high protein snack food including the steps of inoculating whey, such as derived from cheese making, with yeast, incubating the mixture with aeration until substantially all the whey lactose is utilized by the yeast, heating the culture to precipitate the whey protein, separating the whey protein and yeast cells to provide a paste-like material, mixing the whey protein and yeast cell paste with a filler composed of potato flakes or corn starch or a mixture of the two, plus either baking powder or baking soda (to reduce acidity), plus salt, and egg whites, into a dough, extruding the dough to provide snack-like pieces, frying the pieces in a deep fat fryer, and then cooking the fried pieces in a microwave oven.

  • Patent number: 3942480
    Abstract: An arthropod repellent device for attachment to the pinnal portion of the ear of an agricultural animal, such as a cow, horse, sheep, goat, swine or the like, including a band or belt of flexible plastic material of about 3/8 inch to 11/2 inches wide and of a thickness of about 3/16 inch to about 3/8 inch, the material having an arthropod repellent chemical incorporated therein, the length of the band or belt being sufficient to encompass the base of the pinnal portion of the ear of the animal, or mostly thereof, to which it is applied, and means of penetrating the pinna and the band or belt to retain such in position around the base of the animal's ear pinnal portion. In one embodiment, a separate attachment element is employed to retain the band into position and in another embodiment, an attachment element is integral with the band or belt.
