Abstract: This disclosure provides methods for the chemical modification of microbial derived triglyceride oils, use thereof in polyurethane chemistries, and incorporation thereof as a core material alone or as part of a wood core composite in the production of sporting goods equipment, including, for example, alpine skis, touring skis, cross country skis, approach skis, split boards, snowboards, and water skis.

Abstract: A photovoltaic (“PV”) module mounting system including a rail having a base wall and opposed first and second sidewalls extending outwardly therefrom. The first and the second sidewalls each have a flange extending outwardly therefrom. The flanges form a mounting surface adapted to support a PV module. The first and the second sidewalls define therebetween an open channel. A wire support is disposed between the first and second sidewalls and is adapted to support wires extending through the channel at a distance spaced from the base wall. The wire support divides the channel into a wireway and a water channeling portion. The wire support includes an opening therein to permit fluid communication between the wireway and the water channeling portion.

Abstract: Provided herein are conglomerate resin compositions, methods for the creation of conglomerate resins made from waste stream materials, and incorporation of conglomerate resins in the construction of sporting goods equipment, including, for example, alpine skis, touring skis, cross country skis, approach skis, split boards, snowboards, and water skis.

Abstract: Provided herein are surface treating compositions for imparting beneficial surface properties to substrates. The compositions can be prepared by reacting a bio-based polyol with an isocyanate and an ionogenic molecule. The compositions can be used to treat a variety of substrates to provide enhanced properties to a surface of the substrate. Also provided are methods for the chemical modification of triglycerides and fatty acids and use thereof in creating beneficial surface treating compositions.

Abstract: Compositions of microalgae-derived flour are disclosed from multiple genera, species, and strains of edible microalgae. Microalgae used in the invention are free of algal toxins and contain varying levels of primarily monounsaturated triglyceride oil. Flours disclosed herein are formulated as free flowing blendable powders, mixed food ingredients, oxidation stabilized, homogenized and micronized, and combinations therein. Flours disclosed herein also form self stabilizing emulsions in slurries with manageable viscosities. Innovative methods of formulating flours and incorporating them into food compositions are also disclosed. The invention also comprises flours with significant digestible protein and unique dietary fiber content and associated water binding, texturizing, and healthy oil delivery attributes. Novel methods of oil and fat replacement using flours of the invention are also disclosed.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a triglyceride oil possessing an extremely low cloud point and low viscosity concomitant with a higher than anticipated saturated fatty acid content, very low polyunsaturated fatty acid content, and low iodine value. While many naturally occurring triglyceride oils possess one or more of these properties, natural triglyceride oils lack one or more of these attributes, thus making them less than ideal in industrial applications, such as lubricants, fuels, or dielectric fluids. The combination of attributes possessed by a triglyceride oil described herein, achieved without the addition of any additives, is unique compared with natural counterparts and as such, can find wide applications in the aforementioned fields.

Abstract: Provided herein are high oleic oil compositions. Further provided herein are methods of producing high oleic oil compositions from microorganisms and applications thereof in end products, including, for example, polyols, polyurethane products, personal care products, and food products.

Abstract: Provided herein are conglomerate resin compositions, methods for the creation of conglomerate resins made from waste stream materials, and incorporation of conglomerate resins in the construction of sporting goods equipment, including, for example, alpine skis, touring skis, cross country skis, approach skis, split boards, snowboards, and water skis.
