  • Patent number: 11723878
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses associated with fullerene-containing materials. In some implementations, a fullerene-containing material is disposed over a substrate of a smoke-able product in order to inhibit an allergic response (e.g., coughing) from a user who smokes or otherwise ingests the smoke-able product. Various fullerene-containing materials can be generated using a carbon substance that undergoes one or more process operations in order for fullerene molecules to be available for inclusion in the various materials. In some implementations, one or more other fullerene-containing materials can be generated through an at least partially organic process of feeding a particular plant a fullerene-containing plant food.

  • Patent number: 11678669
    Abstract: Process for conferring a protection against a pathogen upon a plant by elicitation by an aqueous composition, the active agents of which are extracted from edible fungi (parasol mushroom, pleurotus, button mushroom). An alkaline extraction is carried out, then an enzymatic hydrolysis, to obtain a fraction less than 100 kDa. The process consists in spraying the aerial parts of the plant with the composition obtained in this way; this thereby acts to combat cryptogamic diseases of plants such as vines, fruit trees, vegetable crops and cereals.
