IPC: A23K1/18
Filed: 2007-04-04
Abstract: Aquaculture of finfish and shellfish is an important source of protein for human food. However, cultivated fish are to a large extent fed with fish meal from wild fish which is now a limited resource. The present invention presents as an alternative source of protein a zygomycetes strains which has been cultivated on paper pulp waste water e.g. spent sulphite liquor (SSL) which is an environmental problem for many paper pulp mills. The biomass is rich in protein with an unusually favourable composition of amino acids. It also contains vitamins, unsaturated 18 carbon fatty acids, and chitosan. When the standard fish meal component of fish feed was replaced by zygomycetes biomass on an isoproteic basis and fed to young rainbow trout, it was eaten well and the specific growth rate of the fish eating zygomycetes feed exceeded that of fish given standard feed.

Inventor: KRUEGER RUDOLPH ERNST
IPC: E21B23/00
Filed: 2007-11-13
Abstract: A gripper mechanism for downhole tool is disclosed that includes a linkage mechanism and a flexible toe disposed over the linkage mechanism. In operation, an axial force generated by a power section of the gripper expands the linkage mechanism, which applies a radial expansion force to the flexible toe. For certain expansion diameters, the expansion force can be primarily transmitted to the toe from a roller-ramp interface expanding the linkage. For other expansion diameters, the expansion force can be primarily transmitted to the toe by expansion of the linkage in a three-bar linkage configuration. For other expansion diameters, the expansion force can be primarily transmitted to the toe by expansion of the linkage in a four-bar linkage configuration. Thus, the gripper can provide a desired expansion force over a large range of expansion diameters.
