Abstract: According to one example, a bed stretching system includes a first corner connector that has a first connecting strap, a second connecting strap, a corner top strap, and a corner bottom strap. The first connecting strap and the second connecting strap may be positioned at least partially along a periphery of a mattress of a bed. The corner top strap may be positioned at least partially along a top side of the mattress. The corner bottom strap may be positioned at least partially along a bottom side of the mattress. The corner top strap and the corner bottom strap define a first opening that may receive a portion of a first corner of the mattress. The first connecting strap has a loop fastener and the second connecting strap has a hook fastener, or vice versa.

Abstract: Nutritional compositions (e.g., dietary supplements or nutraceutical compositions) comprising astaxanthin and, in various embodiments, a second nutritional component selected from the group consisting of phospholipids, omega-3-acids, omega-5-fatty acids, omega-6-fatty acids, omega-7-fatty acids, omega-9-fatty acids, vitamin E compounds, and mixtures thereof. For example, the nutritional compositions may contain astaxanthin along with components such as omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids comprising a major amount of phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl inositol, and vitamin E comprising a major amount of delta-tocotrienol. Methods of improving the nutritional status of subject include administering the nutritional compositions, and may provide health benefits, such as reducing A1C blood levels.

Abstract: A gliding wave reactor includes a base, a tank, a suspension bracket, and an actuator. The tank is configured to hold a liquid. The suspension bracket is configured to suspend the tank over the base. The actuator is fixed to the base and configured to move the tank to create an environment in the liquid for cultivating marine life.

Abstract: Algae-containing beads comprising a microorganism such as unicellular microalgae, an insoluble carbon source such as char, water, and a crosslinked organic matrix. The beads can further contain clay, such as kaolin.

Abstract: A cannabis oil extraction method includes performing grinding assisted extraction in the presence of solvent, co-solvent extraction with subcritical CO2 comprising, degassing the CO2 and separating the mixture by centrifugation.

Abstract: A system and method of growing and harvesting algae provided whereby the system encompasses incubation tanks, internal lighting, chilled air diffusers, and an inline incubation tank for continuous batch processing. A centrifuge separates algae from growth media, and the media is processed through a series of reclamation steps so that cleaned water is reused for fresh media.
