Abstract: A process to produce a protein concentrate from grain, specifically barley protein concentrate (BPC) through mechanical and biochemical intervention while producing multiple sugar streams as co-products. The resulting BPC preferably contains 54%-95% protein derived exclusively from the enzymatically processed barley and has a pH>5.0. The BPC may contain approximately 10% oil, less than 5% crude fiber, less than 1% residual glucose, and less than 0.5% phytic acid. The BPC contains no ethanol, organic acid, fermentation products, or microbial cells or cell mass. No fermentation occurs in the production of the BPC. The BPC has unique applications in formulations for aquaculture or livestock feed, and other pet food as well as for food formulations intended for human consumption. The sugar co-products, including glucose, have applications in industry and science and are particularly suitable for use as feedstocks for fermentation processes, livestock feeds, or biochemical conversion processes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a bearing design that accommodates misalignment of a rotatable shaft in the bearing and is well suited to usage in a particulate-laden fluid. The bearing can be shaped with a curved surface along a longitudinal axis of the bearing, such as in a curved barrel shape or a ball shape, to provide a point contact instead of a line contact as is the case with conventional plain bearings. The point contact allows the bearing to adjust with a misalignment between ends of the shaft or between the external supports and facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the rotating shaft. Because the bearing compensates for misalignment, the bearing surfaces can have closer tolerances for a smaller gap between the bearing surfaces, which can result in improved performance.
