Publication number: 20180206534Abstract: A shelf-stabilized form of hops may be produced by mixing hops with rice bran and magnesium oxide. The stabilized hops may be contained in a paper filter for use during brewing. The rice bran may act as a surfactant or emulsifier during the boil phase of the brewing process. The magnesium oxide may accelerate isomerization during boiling, and by keeping the ingredients in a paper filter container, the magnesium oxide may be in close contact with the hops during beer making. It is believed that the magnesium oxide or other metal salt may offset the degradation of alpha acids at room temperature by slowly isomerizing the alpha acids. A typical form of shelf-stabilized hops may contain rice bran at amounts of 25% or more by weight of hops, and magnesium oxide at 3% or more by weight of hops. The mixture may be ground and pelletized prior to being contained in a paper filter.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2017Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventor: James B. Mitchell

Publication number: 20180206579Abstract: The present invention relates to a device that stabilizes and/or protects the head and spine from injuries. An immobilization device includes one or more pillars with multiple segments that protect the head and spine of a user. The pillars typically run along the part of the head and spine and pelvis that the device protects. A cable or wire runs through these segments in the pillars. By design, when the pillars of the invented system are not activated and the system is in normal use, the pillars are designed to be as flexible as possible and allow full physiologic motion of the protected body part. Activation of the system confers rigidity to the system and prevents or lessens harmful, non-physiologic motion of the body part intended to be protected. The present invention also encompasses a immobilization device with cables used to guide the deployment of rigid tubes to stabilize and protect the head of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2018Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventors: Konstantinos Margetis, Thomas Mroz
