The present invention discloses biomass compositions for improving shelf life, increasing fruit water retention, and/or decreasing needle-drop in conifer species and methods for making the same. The composition comprises pasteurized microalgae selected from, or any combination thereof.

Biomass compositions and methods for making the same

The invention relates to methods of plant enhancement comprising administration of a composition comprising microalgae biomass to improve seed germination rate, seed germination time, seedling emergence, seedling emergence time, seedling size, plant fresh weight, plant dry weight, utilization, fruit production, leaf production, leaf formation, leaf size, leaf area index, plant height, thatch height, plant health, plant resistance to salt stress, plant resistance to heat stress, plant resistance to heavy metal stress, plant resistance to drought, maturation time, yield, root length, root mass, color, insect damage, blossom end rot,-fruit quality, flowering, or sunburn.

Methods of plant enhancement with microalgae biomass

Compositions and methods for indirectly reducing incidence of fungal pathogen infection in a plant are disclosed, wherein the fungal pathogen may be, or. The compositions comprise pasteurized microalgae cells in an amount effective to reduce incidence of the fungal pathogen in a plant compared to a substantially identical population of untreated plants. The composition treatment can include at least one microalgae such asor any combination thereof.

A bobble for bottle neck apparatus and method providing a sleeve for a bottle neck which holds a contoured brace having a nipple which protrudes through a slit in the sleeve, whereby a spring is connected on one end to the nipple of the contoured brace and on the other end to a bobble figurine representing one of a range of symbols, persons, holidays, events, sports teams, logos, and the like, such that the bobble figurine is held extended from the bottle neck and can move about by the flexing of the spring. The bobble figurine is removable and substitutable.

A portable energy generation and humidity control system includes an engine and a humidity control system within a portable frame. The engine includes two containers in communication through a connecting arm having a central hollow bore. A volume of a low boiling point liquid is disposed in the bottom container, and a wire coil extends along the connecting arm. A buoyant permanent magnet is disposed in the central hollow bore. An active heat exchanger is capable of transferring heat to and removing heat from the bottom container. The active heat exchanger includes at least one internal heat exchanger portion and at least one external heat exchanger portion in communication with the internal heat exchanger portion. A humidity control system is supported within the portable frame and is in communication with the engine. The humidity control system and the engine maintain a desired humidity level in the ambient environment.

Portable energy generation and humidity control system

The present invention generally relates to agriculture and, more specifically, to biomass compositions and methods for decreasing bruising, increasing plant health, increasing soil health, increasing sweetness in fruits and/or decreasing needle-drop in conifer species.

Biomass compositions

Compositions and methods for indirectly reducing incidence of fungal pathogen infection in a plant are disclosed, wherein the fungal pathogen may be, or. The compositions comprise pasteurized microalgae cells in an amount effective to reduce incidence of the fungal pathogen in a plant compared to a substantially identical population of untreated plants. The composition treatment can include at least one microalgae such asHS399,or any combination thereof. Where the composition comprises a combination of a first microalgae and a second microalgae, the composition may consist of a ratio of 25:75, 50:50: or 75:25.

Biomass compositions and methods for increasing sweetness of fruit of a fruiting plant by administering to the fruiting plant, seedling, or seed, a liquid composition treatment comprising a culture of microalgae cells are disclosed. The liquid composition may comprise pasteurizedcells only,HS399 cells only, or a combination ofandHS399 cells that are pasteurized at a temperature between 65&#xb0; C.-90&#xb0; C. The administration may comprise contacting soil in the immediate vicinity of the fruiting plant, seedling, or seed.

An engine has spherical pressure vessels attached to a continuous vertical conveyor. Each spherical pressure vessel has an operating pressure sufficient to hold gas at a pre-defined pressure. At least one gas compressor is in communication with each spherical pressure vessel, and the gas compressor is capable of compressing a gas in each pressure vessel to the pre-defined pressure. A pressure relief mechanism is in communication with each spherical pressure vessel. The pressure relief mechanism is capable of returning the gas in each vessel to atmospheric pressure. A plurality of reciprocating electrical generators is disposed in each spherical pressure vessel to convert the heat generated during pressurization to electrical power.

A spherical magnet is formed as a hollow sphere having a fluid tight outer surface of a first magnetic pole and an inner surface having a second magnetic pole that is magnetically opposite the first pole. A plurality of individual thin flexible rectangular plate magnets are arranged as a continuous outer layer of the spherical magnet. Each individual plate magnet has four sides, an inner magnetic portion and an outer non-magnetic portion that extends around all four sides of the magnetic portion. Each inner magnetic portion includes a first face disposed on the outer surface and having the first pole and a second face opposite the first face, disposed on the inner surface and having the second pole.
