  • Patent number: 7959018
    Abstract: Providing for a sports equipment organizer that can support, store, display and provide ventilation for a helmet and/or other sports apparel such as gloves, a jacket, eyewear, clothing and so on is described herein. By way of example, a mounting device can be attached to a portion of an extension arm and facilitate securing the extension arm to a mounting surface. The extension arm can extend substantially perpendicular out from the mounting surface. Additionally, a mounting arm can be attached to and supported by the extension arm, and can securely support at least one head-ware device. Furthermore the mounting arm can be of sufficient length to hold the head-ware just off of the extension arm. In accordance with particular embodiments, the mounting arm can be substantially smaller volume than an interior of the head-ware to facilitate adequate airflow and ventilation to the head-ware in between use.

  • Publication number: 20020107232
    Abstract: This invention pertains to the preparation of a sterol ester-enriched food ingredient utilizing a base-catalyzed tranesterification of free sterol with fatty acyl glyceride. Phytosterols are subject to transesterification with fatty acyl glyceride from vegetable oils in the presence of an alkali catalyst. The reaction is performed under vacuum in the range of 0.01-1 Torr. Following an initial period of transesterification, the reaction mixture is distilled to remove glycerol to enhance the formation of sterol esters. A sterol ester-rich fraction can be isolated from the reaction mixture using organic solvents in combination with aqueous washes.
