Abstract: The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to systems and methods for processing organic compounds, such as manure or other organic waste. Embodiments may comprise a first containment chamber, a first anaerobic chamber, and a second anaerobic chamber. A first anaerobic chamber may receive organic compounds from a first containment chamber, and may provide a fluid stream to a second anaerobic chamber. The second anaerobic chamber may comprise a substrate, such as lava rock, with bacteria growing thereon. Further, a sulfide gas treating unit may receive and treat sulfide gases from a first anaerobic chamber and/or a second anaerobic chamber. A water storage unit may receive and store waste water or effluent from a first anaerobic chamber and/or a second anaerobic chamber.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel process to control odors from manure by digesting the manure into Methane. Embodiments may comprise a two stage anaerobic digestion process to digest the wastes and remove the nutrients from the wastewater. The initial anaerobic digestion is carried out in a closed vessel to capture any gassed released and otherwise proceeds as current practices are. The wastewater from the first stage digestion is then pumped into a second reaction vessel. This vessel reproduces the conditions that produce natural gas (methane) in the geologic setting, with high temperatures and high pressures.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to systems and methods for processing organic compounds, such as manure or other organic waste. Embodiments may comprise a first containment or mixing chamber, a first anaerobic chamber, and a second anaerobic chamber. A first anaerobic chamber may receive organic compounds from a first containment or mixing chamber, and may provide a fluid stream to a second anaerobic chamber. The second anaerobic chamber may comprise a substrate, such as lava rock, with bacteria growing thereon. Further, biogas generated in one or both of the first anaerobic chamber and the second anaerobic chamber may be purified in a first stage using a water scrubber to remove a majority of the carbon dioxide and other contaminants from the biogas, and in a second stage using a pressure swing adsorption unit to reduce carbon dioxide and other contaminants to pipeline acceptable levels.

Abstract: A method of repelling animals from an area which includes the step of causing at least one flexible tube to move, at least within part of the area, by means of a pressurised fluid.

Abstract: This invention pertains to a topically applied composition with a virucidal impact on mucocutaneous tissue. Ingredients essential to the efficacy of the formulated combination include a polyethylene glycol polymer known as Nonoxynol-9("N-9")in admixture with selected fat soluble vitamins A, D and E in the form of vegetable oil (and) retynyl palmitate (and) ergocalciferol together with tocopherol acetate. The invention is directed particularly to inactivation of herpes virus and human papilloma virus as manifested in cold sores, lesions, fever blisters, canker sores and warts. The N-9 contains viral activity while the vitamins effect restoration and strengthening of the damaged tissue cells.

Abstract: The use of organic solvent-based coating compositions in the preparation of plastic coated steel feedstock for use in the manufacture of retortable draw-redraw food and beverage cans is substantially reduced or eliminated by using as such can feedstock a laminated or extrusion coated steel sheet having adhered to at least one, and preferably to both, major planar surface(s) thereof a layer of an adhesive synthetic thermoplastic resin composition having a crystalline melting point of at least about 250.degree. F. and comprising graft copolymer of high density polyethylene with an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer.

Abstract: The invention provides snubbing apparatus for a D.C. motor in which a capacitor which is charged while the motor is rotating in a first direction is discharged into the gate of a thyristor to initiate the snubbing action. When the thyristor goes on a field coil is connected in series with the motor armature, so as to place the motor in a regenerative mode and snub the motor.
