Publication number: 20190223648Abstract: A beverage-brewing packaging bag includes an outer bag (10) and an inner bag (20). The outer bag (10) includes a receiving space (101). The inner bag (20) is received in the outer bag (10) and receives a to-be-brewed substance (30). The inner bag (20) is a filtering bag, is fixed to an inner face of the outer bag (10), and divides the receiving space (101) of the outer bag (10) into a water chamber (104) and a reservoir (105).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2018Publication date: July 25, 2019Inventor: Ze-Sheng Li

Patent number: 8084418Abstract: The subject invention relates to the surprising discovery that toxin complex (TC) proteins, obtainable from Xenorhabdus, Photorhabdus, and Paenibacillus, can be used interchangeably with each other. In particularly preferred embodiments of the subject invention, the toxicity of a “stand-alone” TC protein (from Photorhabdus, Xenorhabdus, or Paenibacillus, for example) is enhanced by one or more TC protein “potentiators” derived from a source organism of a different genus from which the toxin was derived. As one skilled in the art will recognize with the benefit of this disclosure, this has broad implications and expands the range of utility that individual types of TC proteins will now be recognized to have. Among the most important advantages is that one skilled in the art will now be able to use a single set of potentiators to enhance the activity of a stand-alone Xenorhabdus protein toxin as well as a stand-alone Photorhabdus protein toxin.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2009Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Timothy D. Hey, Amanda D. Schleper, Scott A. Bevan, Scott B. Bintrim, Jon C. Michell, Ze Sheng Li, Weiting Ni, Baolong Zhu, Donald J. Merlo, Patricia C. Apel-Birkhold, Thomas Meade
