  • Publication number: 20210000101
    Abstract: A blind assembly and setup configurations for the blind assembly are disclosed. The blind assembly contains two sheets wound together into a roll that are configured for separate outstretching at an angle relative to each other, for being maintained under tension in an outstretched form, and for retraction back into the roll. The end of each sheet contains a handle rod used for handling the sheets and for anchoring to the ground by means of attaching to stakes inserted into the ground using ropes. The roll end of the assembly structure is likewise attached to a stake in the course of setting up the blind assembly. A tie rod provides added support for the structure and is set up at a distance from the sheet rolls to prevent uncontrolled wraparounds of the sheets when the sheets are retracted.

  • Publication number: 20210000104
    Abstract: This invention uses low temperature and elevated pressure to induce suspended animation by depressing the freezing and melting temperature of water and aqueous solutions, including but not limited to biological materials, soluble molecules, organic and inorganic compounds. Increasing the pressure to ˜210 MPa in a container depresses the freezing and melting temperature of water, biological matter, and materials in aqueous solution, to ˜?22° C. Storage at low temperature under high pressure suspends metabolic activity and induces cryostasis. This invention can be used for cryo-banking biological materials that cannot be frozen or vitrified, or otherwise preserved, including, but not limited to, cells, tissues, human organs for transplantation or entire organisms.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of turbine mixing during enzymatic hydrolysis of aquatic protein from species such as fish, aquatic mammals, crustaceans and/or mollusks, to obtain high quality aquatic protein hydrolysates, having very low oxidation, improved organoleptic profile and improved biological activity of interest, for human consumption and cosmetics. The turbine mixing can inhibit oxidation during hydrolysis, contribute to an increase in the bio-activity and decrease the bitter taste of the final product. The process can vary in starting material, pre-treatment, type and amount of enzyme, hydrolysis conditions, time, degree of hydrolysis and post-treatment.
