Abstract: A compatible combination of micron size carbon based particles along with beneficial microbial species and conventional plant nutrients into a plant or an animal food. This balanced product is a combination of nutrients and microbes, and can be applied as a suspension in water or as a slow release granule. This combination of organic plant food and fertilizer can also be applied as a foliar, as a seed coating, and as an all-in-one granule combination of nutrients and biological agents, to facilitate mineralization, nutrient availability and provide energy to the soil and plants, with a total conversion of a storable processed biomass into a precisely known quality and quantity of usable fertilizer ‘tea’ solution, with no biomass waste, odors, or crop application timing problems. The process of formulating the combination product reduces green house gas emissions by limiting mineralization and composting.

Abstract: A process for the conversion of organic materials raw waste and other marine plants and animals into a stable powder form, without high heat or cooking A raw waste is ground and then optionally hydrolyzed or enzymatically reduced to form a hydrolysate and transferred to a blender for nutrient mixing, to form a raw product that is dried in a high velocity air dryer and micronizer, which can simultaneously dry and grind the raw product within a ball mill's work chamber with a high velocity exhaust stream from an inline pulse engine. The finely ground raw fish or animal waste may be pressed or blended with other nutrients to satisfy feed and fertilizer requirements. The final product may be further milled, granulated, pelletized or classified to meet market suspension standards for drip, pivot, and other applications for feeding plants and animals.

Abstract: A combination intra oral and extra oral sleep apnea appliance, primarily useful as a protector to limit mouth breathing, which generates a noise caused by soft palate vibration while sleeping. The device is therapeutically adapted to be placed within the mouth of a patient to allow free side-to-side movement of the user's lower jaw during use. The device includes upper and lower mandibular members that at least cover the anterior teeth. The upper mandibular member has a tube incorporated into it, running along the lingual incisal edge of the upper teeth. A retaining wire is threaded through this tube and then extend down to attach to the lower mandibular member, which includes two buccal tubes embedded into it to receive the retaining wire. Additionally, a pair of nasal expansion wires can be anchored to a labial tab, mounted externally on the upper mandibular member.

Abstract: A process for the conversion of organic materials raw waste and other marine plants and animals into a stable powder form, without high heat or cooking. A raw waste is ground and then optionally hydrolyzed or enzymatically reduced to form a hydrolysate stabilized by adding acid and heated to separate oil and water, to form a product cake transferred to a blender for nutrient mixing, to form a raw product dried in a high velocity air dryer and micronizer. The finely ground raw fish or animal waste, may be cold pressed to remove the oil and water, or bulked with other organic nutrients to adjust pH, increase nutrient value, then blended with nutrients to satisfy feed and fertilizer requirements. The final product may be further milled, classified, and compacted, to control dust and meet market suspension standards for drip, pivot, and other applications for feeding plants and animals.

Abstract: An economical and effective process is provided to remove water from organic waste material, such as manure, and to further facilitate various different fertilizer applications or uses for the product material produced. The process employ a pulverizing air drier that utilizes a high impact vortex or cyclone of forced air. Additionally, the process sanitizes and the raw organic material and “micronizes” the organic material as well as or better than conventional thermal drying, which must be coupled with supplemental grinding or pulverizing techniques. To help preserve the nutritive, water soluble components of the raw organic material, the material is acidified prior to drying. To further minimize the loss of nutrients in the product fertilizer, water soluble components removed by the drying process can be recovered recycled back into the product. Additional nutritive component can be added to the material to produce a desired fertilizer formulation.

Abstract: An organic-based uniprill fertilizer is provided. To produce the fertilizer, organic matter is sequentially pre-treated by first mixing it in a first grinder with a lime admixture, then adding a slurry of reagents and binders, followed by a mixture of acids. The acids can include sulfuric and phosphoric acids, in addition to nitric acid and various organic acids such as citric and fulvic acid, depending on the end requirements of the fertilizer product. Following the mixing of the pre-product with the mixture of acids and reagents, the resultant raw product is preferably processed through a second grinder. This grinding further dries, mixes and granulates the raw product. The particle size of the completed fertilizer is reduced into a flowable, user safe uniprill product that can be further ground to reduce its moisture. Further drying may be necessary for bag or bulk product, or it can be liquified by high speed blending or micro-fluidized for sprinkler or drip applications.

Abstract: A method of treating organic material which includes admixing organic material with water and an acid, the acid equivalent to 5-12% by total weight 100% sulfuric acid; increasing the pH of said admixture, while simultaneously introducing up to 5% by weight of steam; and heating and drying the basified admixture. The resultant material makes excellent plant food, fertilizer, or soil conditioner. Various modifications are possible, e.g., during the first step, steam may be introduced in an amount of up to 40% by weight of the final product. Also, during the first step, carbonate-free calcium may be included in the admixture of the first step. After the alkalinization step, nutrients such as lime, dolomite, rock phosphate, potash, ammonium nitrate, and/or urea may be added to the admixture. The resulting material can be granulated, extruded or pelletized.
