Abstract: A fertilizer composition and method to produced based on milk which comes from ruminant animals like cows and goats and adding a coal dust component. The previous or past milk-based fertilizers have had poor efficacy obtained due to the high fat content of these milk sources due to using too much milk, or rather too much fat in the milk, since the bacteria in the composition will spoil and result in a foul odor, poor growth, and poor crop yield. This fertilizer composition contains a nutrient ingredient, which is the de-fatted milk, as a liquid or dry product, and are utilized between 10 percent weight and 95 percent weight plus uses the coal dust and soluble coal dust as a less expensive stabilizer and chelator as well as other minerals for Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium utilization.

Abstract: Endoscopic light refraction imaging techniques are described for configuring a viewing trocar and/or angled endoscope with a light refracting element, such as glass and/or plastic prism for instance. The light refracting element can be utilized in and/or with the viewing trocar to refract (i.e., bend) light passing into the trocar through the trocar's window. As a result, the angled endoscope's field of view can be substantially aligned with the field of view of the trocar's window, thus allowing the angled endoscope and viewing trocar to be used together to create ports in a patient, including initial ports of endoscopic surgical procedures.

Abstract: A cleaning nozzle includes an outer housing having a central axis and an inner surface that defines an outer housing interior. An inner housing resides within the outer housing interior along the central axis and has an inner surface that defines an inner flow channel. The inner flow channel supports flow of the cleaning fluid and has a converging taper and a flow disrupter element. The nozzle assembly may include an adapter that receives a front end of the nozzle and that also holds a ferrule that supports an optical fiber having an end face. The nozzle assembly allows the nozzle to direct a jet stream of cleaning fluid to the ferrule end face and the fiber end face. The flow disrupter causes the jet stream to have a time-varying direction that enhances the cleaning of the ferrule end face and the optical fiber end face.
