Abstract: A system and method for rapidly binding fresh meat myoglobin with carbon monoxide. The method includes placing the fresh meat into a chamber, creating a negative pressure within the chamber, pressurizing the chamber with an atmosphere including carbon monoxide, maintaining the chamber at hyperbaric levels of pressure for a dwell time and bringing the chamber to regular atmospheric pressure. The myoglobin of the meat within the chamber is thereby rapidly converted to carboxymyoglobin and, thus, the meat appears normally oxygenated. The meat may be placed into a low oxygen atmosphere or vacuum packaging machine and packaged accordingly.

Abstract: A novel system and method for mixing fingernail polish within its original retail bottle, before its initial use, as well as, before all subsequent uses. A system and method of mixing and or homogenizing fingernail polish and or similar solutions in such a way as to limit the introduction of tiny air bubbles within said solution, which are commonly present after manually mixing, causing surface finish problems during application and drying. A novel and useful system for single-handed operation, featuring an automatic cycle start and mixing cycle control as well as being relatively compact and portable.

Abstract: Systems and methods for converting organic material into commercially viable products, such as burnable low sulfur engine fuels. The system of the present invention includes an anaerobic stripping reactor for processing organic materials into a bio-softened slurry, a thermobaric cracking chamber and expansion/separation tank for converting the bio-softened slurry into products, and a hydrocarbon separation system for separating the various products. An interfusion system can be provided that selectively combines various of the products to create fuels, such as diesel or gasoline. In one embodiment, the thermobaric cracking chamber operates approximately in the ranges of 350 to 600° F. and 400 to 1,200 psig. In a specific embodiment, the anaerobic stripping reactor is segregated into three areas to create buffer zones both into and out of the anaerobic stripping reactor, thus isolating a main portion of the organic material from reactive shocks.
