    Abstract: A fishbowl toy for pet includes a base, a transparent surrounding wall cover, a driving unit, and a turntable for one or more playthings, such as table tennis ball, golf ball, little doll, stuffed toy mouse, fluffy ball, and etc., to be placed on the turntable, so as to allow the turntable to bring the playthings to rotate like dynamic objects that attract a pet to catch them. The transparent surrounding wall cover has an open end communicating with outside that enable the pet to grasp the playthings therethrough, wherein when the pet caught a plaything, it will feel rewarded and like to play with the fishbowl toy. Accordingly, the feature of the fishbowl toy is adapted to actively attract the interest and attention of the pet and leads the pet to play with the fishbowl toy, rather than to scratch and damage the household settings.

  • Publication number: 20210195872
    Abstract: A hand and animal leash cover that includes a reversibly attachable, flexible, shape-retaining shell configured to surround an individual's hand while holding a leash retracting device. The shell includes a first opening for a human hand, dimensioned so that a user can grip the handle of a retractable leash and operate its features, such as a leash lock, a toggle leash-locking feature, etc. The shell has a second end opening with a diameter slightly larger than the width of the housing of the leash retracting device, and that extends preferably only to the aperture through which the leash enters the housing. The shell is at least semi-rigid so that it maintains its shape and does not collapse upon itself when a human hand is not inserted therein. No straps, elastic bands or other types of closure members are employed to close off the first opening, as the shell extends to cover a user's wrist and to contact the sleeve of a coat worn by the user so as to reduce heat loss.

  • Publication number: 20210195874
    Abstract: A system for transferring marine life within an aquaculture facility including a plurality of segregated storage facilities each containing water for marine life, maintained within a predetermined temperature range and supported at independent ground levels. The storage facilities are successively disposed and structured to contain marine life at different stages of growth. A transfer assembly includes a path of fluid flow interconnecting successive ones of said plurality of storage facilities in fluid communication with one another, wherein at least a majority of a length of said path of fluid flow is disposed beneath the independent ground levels at a predetermined depth, which is sufficient to facilitate maintenance of the path of fluid flow within the predetermined temperature range, via geothermal cooling. The transfer assembly may also connect a holding facility, which may be dimensioned and structured to transfer mature marine life, possibly on an on-demand basis, to the harvesting facility.

  • Publication number: 20210195890
    Abstract: A cryoprotective device protects an aqueous biological material from mechanical damage due to ice formation during cryogenic freezing and/or cryostorage by preventing direct contact of the biological material with cell-damaging large ice crystals, the cryoprotective storage device having a housing with an internal cavity. The housing is configured to receive a freezable medium with the biological material within the internal cavity. The housing includes a semi-permeable membrane. The membrane is impermeable to ice crystals that are larger than an average pore size of the membrane to prevent such ice crystals from passing into the internal cavity from outside the housing, such that ice crystals formed in the medium within the housing have a smaller crystal size from ice crystals formed in the medium outside of the housing. As such, the biological material is protected from mechanical damage generated by direct contact with large ice crystals.

  • Publication number: 20210195919
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for producing pulp-containing juice, which may produce pulp-containing juice without loss of nutrients while maintaining the flavor and color of a raw material. The method includes squeezing raw material for juice to obtain juice and sterilizing the juice by non-thermal high-pressure processing. Thus, the method may inactivate microorganisms or enzymes, maintain the quality of the juice in a fresh state, and prevent the flavor and nutrients of the raw material from being lost by high-temperature sterilization. In addition, through a quick freezing process, it is possible to prevent the layer separation phenomenon from occurring, prevent the nutrients from being destroyed by temperature changes, and maintain the uniform color of the pulp-containing juice even without using a colorant. A user can conveniently drink the pulp-containing juice produced by this method while feeling the flavor of the fruit thereof without loss of nutrients.
