Abstract: A method and system for forming a fish analog product from layers of plant-based material stacked on one another, using a profiling bottom having an undulating upper surface that corresponds to that of a naturally occurring myomere of the fish analog product of which is to be formed. The method includes successively stacking layers of plant-based material on one another in a stacking direction on the undulating upper surface to form a stack of undulating layers, and slicing the stack through upper and lower planes oriented perpendicular to the stacking direction to remove respective upper and lower segments of the stack from a retained central segment.

Abstract: A fish analog product, being an analog to a target fish, having undulating layers of plant-based material stacked on one another in a stacking direction, wherein the stack of layers has been sliced in a first slicing direction that is angled relative to the stacking direction, thereby defining one of an upper surface or a lower surface of the fish analog product, and wherein the stack of layers has also been sliced in a second slicing direction that is angled relative to the stacking direction, thereby defining the other of the upper surface or lower surface of the fish analog product. Thus, the upper and lower surfaces of the fish analog product show at least two curved contour lines that are continuous from at least one side of the central segment and at least one of the upper or lower surfaces of the fish analog product.

Abstract: A device and method for storing personal network access information and biometric data, and upon a match of received biometric information from a user with such stored biometric data, transmitting such personal network access information to a network.

Abstract: The invention relates to locking devices preventing the unauthorized use of firearms. The invention provides a block, shaped partly as a normal magazine or a magazine or other shaped member which can be inserted into a firearm to block the magazine housing thereof or the barrel and which can be removed therefrom only by transmitting relevant biometric data to said block, said data corresponding with biometric data digitally stored in the block memory.
