Abstract: The present invention provides a commercial process for preparing the ‘Cannabis-Hemp Animal Feed’ into a feed grade nutritional supplement. The process produces both a fully cooked, and raw feed product combined, that can be inserted into an edible consumption vessel of any type, or processed into any shape, for animal ingestion purposes. The commercial process entails the combining of various proteins, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, terpenes, flavonoids, decarboxylated cannabinoids (and various raw cannabinoids) that are found in the Cannabis-Hemp Plant; with various fats and thickeners for the purposes of creating a ‘feed’ that can be ingested and metabolized as a feed grade nutritional supplement, and/or as a direct animal feed product. To accomplish this process, a quantity of the Cannabis-Hemp Plant must be raw and processed, and a quantity of the Cannabis-Hemp Plant must be heat-cooked, with added fats or not.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for testing an individual's hearing and correcting audio signals to compensate for the significant variance in each listener's sensitivity to various frequencies of the audible spectrum. An auditory calibration procedure includes identifying a first volume level as a minimum volume level at which nominal frequency tones are audible, a minimum frequency at which said first volume level is audible, a maximum frequency at which said first volume level is audible, and a minimum volume level at which a number of intervening sample frequencies are audible. A substantially parabolic correction curve is generated based on the minimum volume levels at the various sample frequencies. The correction curve is applied to modify real time audio signals generated upon execution of an audio file functionally linked to the processor, wherein the modified real time audio signals are provided to an audio output device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a commercial process for preparing the ‘Cannabis-Hemp Paste’ into a food grade nutritional supplement. The process produces both a fully cooked, and raw food product combined, that can be inserted into an edible consumption vessel of any type, or placed into the mouth, and/or stomach, for ingestion purposes. The commercial process entails the combining of various terpenes, flavonoids, decarboxylated cannabinoids (and various raw cannabinoids) that are found in the Cannabis-Hemp Plant; with various fats and thickeners for the purposes of creating a ‘paste’ that can be ingested and metabolized as a food grade dietary supplement, and/or as a direct food product. To accomplish this process, a quantity of the Cannabis-Hemp Plant must be raw and pressed, and a quantity of the Cannabis-Hemp Plant must be heat-cooked and blended with fresh fats; the heat-cooked Cannabis-Hemp plant must then be repeatedly heat-cooked in a steam kettle and pressed to extract different amalgams.

Abstract: A confectionery item comprising at least two elongate fingers each of which comprises a filling encased within a chocolate layer or shell, wherein at least one of said fingers comprises a first filling and at least one other of the said fingers comprises a second filling which is different from said first filling, wherein the fingers are arranged in parallel to each other and conjoined along the length by means of the chocolate layer or shell and wherein the fingers are castellated or segmented along the length thereof. Methods for making the items and products comprising them are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A confection is provided having a single arcuate ridge extending substantially the entire length of the piece. Due to this unique feature, either alone or in combination with one or more other topographical features, the confection provides an enhanced sensory attribute as compared to a confection having the same composition and not having the arcuate ridge.

Abstract: A stand-alone desktop application (i.e., client) that resides on an end user's local computer and receives customized music playlists and content via the Internet from a network of distributed servers. The end user may install the application in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, downloading it from the Internet or installing it from a CD that has been pre-loaded with the client. Songs downloaded through the application may be cached locally. The application forms a playlist based on user-entered preferences, an analysis of music already existing on the computer, and previous user interactions with the application. Similar or related songs, albums, bands, or artists can be displayed graphically in a “song cloud” around a graphical representation of the song being played.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device kite-like in nature which allows the user to ride within the kite and control its flight from within, rather than being a ground-based operator. Principle use of the invention is as a recreational device. The pilot/occupant is able to control pitch and yaw of the craft through conventional aircraft-like means and/or novel methods, and is also able to control winding and unwinding of the kite's tether from the cockpit. The device can be used stationary when there exists sufficient wind, in the manner of a kite, or the device may be towed by a ground-based vehicle (auto or boat) in the manner of a parasail.
