Title: Alcoholic beverage
Inventor: RAMSDEN STEVE
IPC: C12G3/06
Filed: 2004-03-19
Abstract: The invention provides a method of producing a fermented beverage. A starch hydrolysate is fermented in the presence of yeast, a soluble nitrogenous yeast nutrient source, and an enzyme that releases fermentable carbohydrates from the starch hydrolysate to achieve a fermented beverage. The soluble nitrogenous yeast nutrient source is present in an amount sufficient to sustain fermentation of the starch hydrolysate to an inactivating alcohol concentration in the fermented beverage without being rate-limiting in the fermentation. The method can further comprise carbon filtration and ion exchange filtration to substantially remove impurities. A fermented beverage having substantially neutral flavor and substantially neutral odor prepared in accordance with the inventive method also is provided.

Title: Manual log splitting device
Inventor: OTIS ENGELBERT
IPC: B27L7/06
Filed: 2005-11-08
Abstract: A manual log splitting device for splitting a log has a first assembly including a base plate for resting of the log during splitting thereof and a first upright supported by and extending upwardly from the base plate. A second assembly having an upright sleeve, impact plate, and wedge assembly, is axially and slidably mounted on first upright by axial and sliding engagement of first upright with upright sleeve. A user splits log by applying a downwardly directed force on second assembly thereby causing second assembly to move towards base plate such that wedge assembly passes through log, thereby splitting log.      Abutting engagement means, extending away from base plate, abuttingly engages upright sleeve and base plate when second assembly is in a resting position where wedge assembly is slightly spaced apart from base plate. Thus, movement of second assembly towards base plate beyond resting position, as well as contact therebetween, is prevented.
