20120121763PULP FOOD PRODUCT, PROCESS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME - A pulp food product, process and method of manufacturing same is provided comprising at least one pulp material formed from at least one raw vegetable or fruit wherein juice is substantially removed therefrom leaving behind the pulp material. The pulp material is dried to contain no more than about 5% moisture after treatment by way of dehydration or freeze drying. In one embodiment the pulp food product comprises a base vegetable, between about 55-100% by weight, a color vegetable, between about 0-20% by weight, a flavor vegetable and/or fruit between about 0-20% by weight, and additional flavor ingredients between about 0-5% by weight. The process provides for processing raw fruits and/or vegetables through an extractor to substantially separate juice and pulp, mixing the pulp, shaping the pulp into structures, including granules, chips, sticks etc., and drying the shape pulp to no more than 5% by weight of moisture. The pulp food product composition can include flavor enhancers, taste enhancers, medically effective agents, or the like.05-17-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090005874Compressible, rotatable, and tiltable hydraulic spinal disc prosthesis system with selectable modular components - A modular hydraulic spinal intervertebral prosthetic device offering individualized optimization of an implantable disc prosthesis by having selectable crown plates modules with differing lordosis angles and differing cross-sectional profiles, and selectable bellows cartridges having differing load-bearing capabilities. The device offers substantially full physiological degrees of motion, and by the incorporation of both a dashpot mechanism and a biasing element within reversibly displaceable and tiltable bellows provides hydraulic load bearing capability. The bellows assembly is advantageously pre-loaded to sub-atmospheric pressure. The dashpot assembly further increases resistance to lateral shear loading beyond the bellows convolutions acting alone. Rotational coupling of the upper crown plate and center bearings plate permits normal twisting movements, and spinal flexural freedom is provided by the bellows interposed between the center bearings plate and the lower end plate. The bellows also provides a hermetic seal which prevents any wear debris from migrating to the surrounding body tissue.01-01-2009
20100242948Solar collector-reflector system - The solar collector-reflector system includes at least one modular solar panel having a solar collector-reflector assembly, a driver for selective collection or reflection of solar energy, attachment assembly, mounting assembly, ducting and a controller for controlling the solar energy collection and reflection configuration based on the sensed temperature. The solar collector-reflector assembly has surfaces that either collect or reflect solar energy, and the solar collector-reflector system utilizes air-to-air heat transfer to provide additional heating or cooling to an existing system in a dwelling and thereby reduce energy consumption and costs.09-30-2010
20120055463SOLAR COLLECTOR REFLECTOR SYSTEM - The solar collector-reflector system includes at least one modular solar panel arranged singly or in an array, each solar panel having a solar collector-reflector assembly, a driver for selective collection or reflection of solar energy, attachment assembly, mounting assembly, ducting and a controller for controlling the solar energy collection and reflection configuration based on the sensed differential temperature between the solar panel or array and a dwelling set temperature. The solar collector-reflector assembly has surfaces that either collect or reflect solar energy, and the solar collector-reflector system utilizes air-to-air heat transfer to provide additional heating to an existing ducting system in the dwelling or reflect solar flux from the roof, thereby reducing heating and cooling energy consumption and costs.03-08-2012
