Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a bath caddy for use on a bathtub, where the bath caddy includes a tray having a top surface and a bottom surface, and a lighting assembly configured to couple to the bottom surface of the tray. The lighting assembly includes at least one light fixture configured to provide light to an interior of the bathtub. Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a bath caddy including a tray and a lighting assembly configured to couple to the tray, where the lighting assembly is configured to provide light to an interior of the bathtub. Then lighting assembly includes at least one light fixture and a controller operably coupled to the at least one light fixture, where the controller is configured to adjust at least one of a color, tone, or brightness of the at least one light fixture.

Abstract: A bath massage chair includes a pillow, a back support configured to support a torso of the user when the user is seated in the bath massage chair, and a seat coupled to the lower portion of the back support. The pillow includes a pillow massage system and a pillow heating element configured to heat the pillow. The back support includes an upper portion coupled to the pillow and a lower portion opposite the upper portion, a back massage system configured to massage the torso of the user, and a back heating element configured to heat the back support. The seat is configured to support a lower body of the user when the user is seated in the bath massage chair. The pillow massage system, pillow heating element, back massage system, and back heating element are operably coupled to a controller.

Abstract: Methods and composition related to genetically modified cells for producing intracellular biological products are provided. A method can include genetically engineering of cells to express a thermostable protease. As one advantage, the cells may be suitable for producing biological products with improved efficiency.

Abstract: A method comprising (a) introducing a plurality of at least one phototrophic organism to a culture media to create a first mixture; (b) subjecting the first mixture to conditions suitable for growth of the phototrophic organism in the presence of a wavelength converting material to produce a concentrated mixture having a first cell titer; (c) diluting the concentrated mixture to produce a diluted mixture having a second cell titer; and (d) subjecting the diluted mixture to conditions suitable for growth of the phototrophic organism in the absence of the wavelength converting material.
