Abstract: A system for treating whole stillage includes a stillage tank, a separation system in communication with the stillage tank and configured to separate the whole stillage into a wet cake portion and a thin stillage portion, and a primary filtration system in communication with the separation system. The primary filtration system can be configured to separate the thin stillage into a primary concentrate and a primary permeate. A secondary filtration system in communication with the primary filtration system can be configured to further purify the primary permeate. A water reclamation system in communication with the primary and/or secondary filtration system can remove water from the permeate. An additive can be added to the primary permeate to precipitate phosphorus-containing minerals and corn oil can be advantageously extracted from the primary concentrate. Protein-enriched animal feeds can be generated from dehydration of the primary concentrate.

Abstract: A system and method having at least one processor communicatively coupled to a memory, a display, and at least one database. The processor can be configured to execute computer readable instructions stored in the memory to perform operations including (i) accessing graphical data and at least one advertisement from the at least one database, (ii) generating on the display a three-dimensional (3D) moving representation of an environment including a billboard displaying the at least one advertisement, in which the environment and billboard position correspond to a user's vantage point, and (iii) updating the 3D moving representation of the environment and billboard in response to changes in the user's vantage point.

Abstract: Systems and methods for manufacturing an organic liquid fertilizer product are shown. The contemplated systems and methods are configured to treat waste from a natural source in order to produce an organic liquid fertilizer. The liquid organic waste may be derived from an organic source. The liquid organic waste may be pre-treated through an anaerobic digestion process, or it may be treated in a raw form. Advantageously, the systems and methods of the present disclosure may be used to manufacture the organic liquid fertilizer with a sufficiently high nitrogen content, which is usable by plants and crops. The systems and methods are likewise more efficient than known systems and methods to produce such fertilizer products.

Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to flow cartridges configured to measure and/or detect analytes in urine. A representative flow cartridge includes a urine inlet configured to receive urine from a patient, a flow channel fluidly coupled to the urine inlet, and sensors fluidly coupled to the flow channel that are configured to measure parameters of the urine flow. The sensors are aligned with corresponding sensing zones of the flow channel and are operable to generate sensor data based on urine flow through the sensing zones. In some embodiment, the sensor data is used to provide fluid therapy to the patient by adjusting an amount or rate of diuretic and/or hydration fluid based on the sensor data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing point of advertising purchasing include using mass media publications configured for or containing service, product or vendor transmittable signals, such as from radio frequency identification tags. In a preferred arrangement, a consumer perceiving an advertisement of the mass media publication may activate a reader in a portable communications device, such as a smart mobile or cellular phone, to receive information from the radio frequency signal associated with the advertisement to identify a vendor, product or service associated with the radio frequency identification. The smart mobile phone or communications device of the consumer may communicate with a system of a vendor or vendors by way of a commerce data organization system across a network to order a product or product information from a system of the vendor over the network by using the information from the radio frequency identification.

Abstract: A desk system including desktop, legs, and foot elements is presented. Each leg is rotatably attached at one end to the desktop and attached at another end to one foot element which is also rotatable. The system is disposed in a stowed configuration when legs and foot elements are substantially parallel to the desktop and legs are disposed between and substantially parallel to foot elements. The system is disposed in an upright configuration when legs are substantially perpendicular to the desktop and each leg is substantially perpendicular to one foot element. The system is configured from stowed to upright by separately rotating legs about a minor axis in opposite directions away from one another and by separately rotating foot elements about a major axis in opposite directions toward one another.

Abstract: Immune function of an animal can be modulated by administration of a composition that includes beta glucan. The beta glucan can be derived from Euglena, which provides a form of beta glucan that is different from other organisms, where the beta glucan is predominantly unbranched beta-(1,3)-glucan. Beta glucan can also be complexed with a metal, such as zinc, and/or can combined with an animal feed component to form an animal feed composition. Use of such compositions can improve the well being of an animal, and may augment or even replace the use of antibiotics in certain circumstances.
