Abstract: A method of processing coir includes using a cylinder having spikes on an outside surface of the cylinder to shred compressed coir into dry, shredded coir. A method of processing coir includes using a rotating cylinder with spikes on an outside surface of the cylinder to shred compressed coir into dry, shredded coir and hydrating the dry, shredded coir to a predetermined moisture level to produce moist coir.

Abstract: A method of processing coir, comprising using counter-rotating blades to shred compressed coir into dry, shredded coir.

Abstract: A coconut material comprising short fibers having a length in a range of 0.5 to 25 millimeters. A method to produce short fibers includes processing coconut husks to separate coir material comprised of pith and fiber from the husks, separating short coconut fibers having a length in the rage of 0.5 to 25 millimeters from the coir material, and packaging the short coconut fibers. The method may include softening the short fibers.

Abstract: A method of buffering coco material includes cleaning a quantity of untreated coco material to result in cleaned coco material, applying buffered water to the cleaned coco material to produce treated coco material, aging the treated coco material to produce aged coco material, and cleaning the aged material to produce buffered coco material.

Abstract: A method of processing coir, comprising using counter-rotating blades to shred compressed coir into dry, shredded coir.

Abstract: A method for processing coir comprising processing dry coir by shredding, hydrating the coir up to a specified moisture content, and pelletizing the coir. An apparatus for pelletizing coir comprising a metal disk having flat, cylindrical openings. A soil additive composition comprising coir, seed, basalt, root stimulant, lime, worm castings, fish meal, molasses, and polymer.

Abstract: A system for harvesting atmospheric ionic energy to generate electricity is provided. The present invention embodies the utilization of the electric equipotential differences in the earth's electrostatic field through providing a generator device extending vertically into the atmosphere perpendicular to ground. The generator device includes electrical collectors adapted to conduct surface charge. A ground circuit coupled to the generator device is adapted to distribute the surface charge to attract oppositely charged atmospheric ions so that the electrostatic energy is converted to a low amperage, high voltage transaction of moving electrons up though the apparatus, reciprocal in direction to the electrostatic field previously mentioned so as to be useable for conventional electrical systems.

Abstract: Data is shared between multiple enterprise data sources and mobile clients in a distributed system such that requests from a mobile client for enterprise data are received, the appropriate enterprise data sources that contain the requested data are determined, and the enterprise data is retrieved from the determined enterprise data sources. Data maintained at a mobile client is shared with multiple enterprise data sources. The mobile clients send requests to an application server for synchronization of data records maintained at the mobile client with corresponding data records at the enterprise data sources. The client request includes metadata that identifies enterprise data sources for the requested data records and that specifies a relational correspondence between the requested data. The mobile client data records and the corresponding data records of the enterprise data sources are compared to identify any data conflicts between the two sets of data records. Any identified data conflicts are resolved.

Abstract: Data is shared between multiple enterprise data sources and mobile clients in a distributed system such that requests from a mobile client for enterprise data are received, the appropriate enterprise data sources that contain the requested data are determined, and the enterprise data is retrieved from the determined enterprise data sources. When the enterprise data is retrieved, it is converted into a relational format that can relate the retrieved data, even if the data comes from multiple enterprise data sources. The converted enterprise data is stored in a relational data store in the mobile client. In this way, mobile applications can be fully integrated with data from multiple enterprise data sources and data updates and configuration changes can be distributed to and from the mobile clients in real-time, without using interim data storage, and thereby avoiding complicated synchronization and data conflict issues between the enterprise data sources and the mobile clients.
