Abstract: Starch-based extruded food products and methods for manufacturing starch-based extruded food products, such as snacks, are disclosed. For example, a starch-based dough may be extruded, cut, and cooked to form a starch-based extruded food product with a rigid extruded body. The cooking process may include baking and/or frying the cut extrusion. The rigid extruded body of the starch-based extruded food product is made up of bodies or segments coupled at joints. The rigid extruded bodies are configured such that bodies of the rigid extruded body may be broken off or separated at the joints to be consumed.

Abstract: The wind turbine is the best clean energy technology on land. The prior art of the wind powered turbine involves large towers and access to high winds and open land. Those blades require technological maintenance, sometimes of a high order. Large turbines serve well the purpose to provide whole communities of people with electric power. However, he wind turbine here provided needs no tower, high winds nor open acres. The appliance adapts to vertical or horizontal placement. It can be located on or near the ground on any surface stable enough to hold it. Its unique sail design takes advantage of small winds. The maintenance can be done by any competent mechanic. In the long run, the windmill turbine may pay for itself with electric economy and may begin to pay the owner from the grid.

Abstract: Screw-in adapter for incandescent single-based standard light-bulb size sockets especially made to receive a smaller or larger light bulb. To permit the use of smaller size light bulbs in larger light bulb sockets, i.e. an E26 bulb in a E39 socket or a E12 bulb in a E26 socket, or to permit the use of a larger size light bulb in a smaller light bulb socket, i.e. an E39 bulb in an E26 socket or an E26 bulb in a E12 socket. Also the adapters can be wired to accommodate bulbs of different voltage requirements.
