Abstract: The current invention relates to a method of separating polyunsaturated fatty acids containing lipids from a lipids containing biomass.

Abstract: A drain line cleaning system including a housing, a pump carried by the housing, a line cleaning agent carrying tube in communication with the pump, a controller in communication with the pump, and a power supply carried by the housing and connected to the pump and the controller. The line cleaning agent carrying tube includes an intake that is connectable to a reservoir that carries line cleaning agent and an output that is connectable to a drain line. The controller controls the pump to function to withdraw the line cleaning agent from the reservoir and causes the line cleaning agent to be expelled through the output.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for obtaining a lipid from a cell by lysing the cell, contacting the cell with a base and/or salt, and separating the lipid. The present invention is also directed to a lipid prepared by the processes of the present invention. The present invention is also directed to microbial lipids having a particular anisidine value, peroxide value, and/or phosphorus content.

Abstract: The processes for obtaining a microbial oil comprising one or more polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from one or more microbial cells comprise removing water from the cell fermentation broth or lysed cell composition before demulsification is conducted. Such a process has the benefits of reduced demulsification time and reduced salt use. Microbial oil comprising one or more PUFAs can be recovered from microbial cells by the process.

Abstract: A system and related techniques manage the adding of digital images or other media to email messages using a comparatively straightforward insert-and-send scheme. A user may choose to insert or embed comparatively low-resolution versions of images or other media automatically published to a media server into an email message. The recipient of that media-enabled message may receive and view the email text message along with the low-resolution images in typical fashion using an email or other client. The recipient may choose to view one or more of the embedded images in greater resolution by linking or activating those images, for instance by moving a cursor and clicking into the selected image or other object. Activating the image or other media object from within the email pane may seamlessly transport the user to the media server's Web page to view a larger-resolution version of that image, for instance using a media player. Video, audio and other media may likewise be inserted into messages.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a slidable armrest that may be used in combination with a console within a transportation vehicle. The armrest may be slidably mounted to a mounting bracket and overlie a console lid/compartment and be moveable forward to provide arm support for vehicle occupants or rearward to allow access to an underlying storage compartment. Two exemplary embodiments of actuating mechanisms for controlling fore/aft positioning of the armrest are disclosed.

Abstract: A nonradioactive atmospheric pressure method for ionization of analytes comprises creating an electrical discharge in a carrier gas thus creating metastable neutral excited-state species. The carrier gas containing the excited-state species is directed into a reactant gas to form ions of the reactant gas. The ionized reactant gas is then directed at the analytes at atmospheric pressure near ground potential to form analyte ions.

Abstract: A non-radioactive atmospheric pressure device for ionization of analytes comprises an atmospheric pressure chamber having an inlet for carrier gas, a first electrode at one end, and a counter-electrode at the other end of the chamber for creating an electrical discharge in the carrier gas thus creating metastable neutral excited-state species. Optionally, a grid is provided to generate electrons or ions by contact with the excited-state species. The carrier gas containing the excited-state species or the electrons generated therefrom is directed at an analyte at atmospheric pressure near ground potential to form analyte ions.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for the vulcanization of acrylic gums having active halogen groups, comprising adding thereto a mixture of trithiocyanic acid, a metal salt of an aliphatic organic acid and a metal dialkyl dithiocarbamate and applying heat to the resulting mixture. The resultant vulcanizate does not require conventional oven post cure processing.
