    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide apparatuses and methods for facilitating filling and cleaning of bird feeders that are aesthetically pleasing and adaptable for attracting different types of birds. In one implementation, a bird feeder includes a proximal edge extending around a central line and defining a plane. An outer surface and an inner surface each extends distally from the plane. The inner surface is connected to the outer surface by the proximal edge. An opening is formed by the proximal edge and positioned on the plane. A hanger is disposed distal to and not intersecting the plane, and the hanger assembly has a hanging portion positioned on the central line.

    Abstract: Provided are oysters and systems and methods for farming oysters using the principles of geothermal cooling. The system comprises a housing for containing the oysters and a fluid distribution system configured to move water from a relatively warm body of water, such as an inlet to an ocean, to the housing. The fluid distribution system includes a conduit having an outer surface in thermal contact with a natural thermal reservoir with a temperature cooler than the body of water. The conduit is configured to transfer energy from the water to the thermal reservoir to cool the water and to pump nutrient-rich cooler water through the housing containing the oysters. The oysters produced by this process have larger cups, harder shells, larger adductor muscles, more meat content and a faster growth rate than conventional farmed-raised oysters.

  • Publication number: 20240306615
    Abstract: A system for housing a supply of aquatic organisms includes a plurality of holding tanks and a subsystem for continuously delivering fluid to each holding tank to ensure a suitable living environment. The subsystem includes a conduit in communication with each holding tank, a pump for driving the fluid through the conduit, a filter for removing impurities in the fluid driven by the pump, and a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure level of fluid traveling within the conduit. A water treatment controller in communication with the pressure sensor monitors the pressure level of fluid in the conduit and compensates for pressure level variances by adjusting the operating speed of the pump to ensure that fluid is delivered to the tanks at a constant flow rate. In this manner, the fluid delivery flow rate remains constant even as particulate blockages begin to form on the filter.

    Abstract: Mice are provided that comprise a reduction or deletion of ADAM6 activity from an endogenous ADAM6 locus, or that lack an endogenous locus encoding a mouse ADAM6 protein, wherein the mice comprise a sequence encoding an ADAM6 or ortholog or homolog or fragment thereof that is functional in a male mouse. In one embodiment, the sequence is an ectopic ADAM6 sequence or a sequence that confers upon a male mouse the ability to generate offspring by mating. Mice and cells with genetically modified immunoglobulin heavy chain loci that comprise an ectopic nucleotide sequence encoding a mouse ADAM6 or functional fragment or homolog or ortholog thereof are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240306620
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an artificial bait having certain physical characteristics that allow for it to remain forward-facing in the water to be quickly detected location- and direction-wise using sonar techniques. The characteristics of the bait also allow for it to engage in erratic darting action and remain in the water during retrieval for an extended period of time. Typically, the bait can include a body having a head portion, a tail portion, and a middle portion therebetween. A first attachment structure configured to receive a line can be located on or near the head portion. A hook structure can be inserted behind the first attachment structure, for example, on or near the middle portion of the body. The head portion can further include a portion of dense material therein.
