  • Patent number: 11369100
    Abstract: An electronic bait box assembly for storing earthworms includes a box for containing earth and earthworms. A lid is removably attached to the box for closing the box. A voltage unit is coupled to the bait box and the voltage unit is in electrical communication with an interior of the box. Moreover, the voltage unit is placed in electrical communication with the earth that is positioned in the box. The voltage unit induces an electrical voltage through the earth when the voltage unit is turned on. In this way the voltage unit urges the earthworms to move upwardly in the earth thereby facilitating a user to remove the earthworms for fishing bait.

  • Publication number: 20200354668
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a bioreactor system that allows active perfusive flow through a porous support medium enabling 3D growth of biological samples. In some embodiments, the system comprises a sample well filled with a three-dimensional (3D) cell growth medium. The system can further comprise a liquid medium reservoir fluidly connected to the sample well by a first filter material. The system can further comprises a medium collection chamber fluidly connected to the sample well by a second filter material. In some embodiments, application of negative gage pressure to the medium collection chamber or positive pressure to the liquid medium reservoir draws fluid from the liquid medium reservoir, through the first filter material, into the sample well where it permeates the three-dimensional cell growth medium, through the second filter material, and finally into the medium collection chamber.

  • Patent number: 10574745
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method may comprise requesting, by a first mobile computing device, a logical data object stored at an address location on a wide area network (WAN); receiving, by the first mobile computing device, the requested logical data object from the address location on the WAN and storing the received logical data object in the first mobile computing device. A logical data object request may then be received from a second mobile computing device. Responsive to the logical data object request, a copy of the stored logical data object of the logical data object stored at the address location on the WAN may be sent from the first mobile computing device to the second mobile computing device using a peer-to-peer communication protocol. The sent copy of the stored logical data object may be devoid of data or data files referred to by the stored logical data object.
