| 20110081472 | METHOD OF PREPARING A FOOD PRODUCT - The present invention includes a method for constructing a folded food product such as a burrito. On the premises of a restaurant, a dough ball flattened between heated platens to make a wrapper, e.g. a tortilla. The tortilla is cooked and placed onto a carrier. The carrier is advanced down the line and one or more ingredients are placed on the tortilla. The ingredients on the tortilla are mixed together with the help of a spatula. The preparer may temporarily raise an edge of the tortilla to help contain the ingredients as they are mixed. The burrito is finished off by folding and rolling the tortilla around the commingled ingredients. | 04-07-2011 |

| 20100323417 | CARBON CAPTURE IN FERMENTATION - The invention relates to methods of capturing carbon by microbial fermentation of a gaseous substrate comprising CO. The methods of the invention include converting CO to one or more products including alcohols and/or acids and optionally capturing CO2 to improve overall carbon capture. In certain aspects, the invention relates to processes for producing alcohols, particularly ethanol, from industrial waste streams, particularly steel mill off-gas. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20110294177 | OPTIMISED FERMENTATION MEDIA - The invention relates to improvements in the production of alcohols by microbial fermentation, particularly to production of alcohols by microbial fermentation of substrates comprising CO. It more particularly relates to the provision of an improved fermentation media, comprising nickel, to a fermentation system such that one or more micro-organisms convert a substrate comprising CO to one or more alcohols, such as ethanol. In particular embodiments, a microbial culture is provided with at least 10 μM nickel, such that CO uptake by the microbial culture increases and ethanol productivity improves. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20110248098 | PORTABLE FAUCET SPRAYER - The present invention is a plumbing accessory having a sprayer valve, hose and connector assembly which conveniently connects to the aerator threads on a sink faucet. The connector provides a swivel connection during attachment so the assembly may be attached without twisting the hose. The present connector comprises three parts. First, there is a generally cylindrical, hollow basket-like or cup-like structure which is threaded at its open top end, preferably both on the inside and outside perimeters. The bottom end of the cup is closed except for a central, generally circular orifice. Second, there is a generally cylindrical insert structure which fits smoothly, but not loosely inside the cup. The insert has a flat bottom which rests upon the top of the bottom closed end of the cup. The insert is also generally hollow, providing a central opening which extends from near the open top of the inside of the cup through its closed bottom. At the bottom of the insert is a generally cylindrical, hollow extension, which projects down through the orifice in the bottom of the cup. The distal end of the extension, preferably with stepped outside edges, is adapted for fitting into the proximal end of a plastic or rubber hose in conventional fashion. Third, there is a generally cylindrical sealer washer which also fits inside the cup, and rests smoothly, but not loosely, on top of the insert. The sealer washer also has a central, generally circular orifice which is generally co-extensive with the central opening in the top of the insert. | 10-13-2011 |
