Abstract: A container system for cryogenically and non-cryogenically storing and identifying biological material stored therein wherein the container system includes semen straws, vitrification straws, and canes for holding such straws, the present improvement including positioning and locating a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag on or within semen straws, vitrification straws, covers associated with such straws, canes, cane tabs and cane tab covers for holding such straws, and on or within various seals associated with such straws.

Abstract: The present invention is a cryogenic storage receptacle for RFID data made up of a cryogenic container having a delivery end and a tag end partially closed by a pressure equalization cap. An RFID tag is located adjacent to the tag end. Partial closure of the tag end by pressure equalization cap allows a plunger arm to push the plunger and expel the biological material for in vivo fertilization and implantation procedures. This configuration also allows pressure equalization during freezing and thawing, preventing the pressure equalization cap from becoming dislodged and avoiding loss of the RFID tag.

Abstract: A method for Multivariate Predictive Modeling simulates the impact of numerous environmental, life-cycle, and policy-based variables on oyster populations in real time by instantiating Oyster Group Demographic Objects and Reef Objects which function as independent processing components. The method creates novel interactive digital replicas of oyster population and reef entities which may be updated in real time to model environmental impacts on oyster population growth.
