The present disclosure generally relates to textiles that are optimized to maximize moisture wicking and evaporative performance thereof. In some embodiments, raw polyethylene (PE) powder can be extruded into fibers that can be modified by oxidation along a surface thereof to increase hydrophilicity of the surface. Once sufficiently oxidized, the fibers can be bundled to form multi-filament yarns that can then be spun, weaved, knitted, and/or otherwise associated with one another to form a polyethylene fabric. The PE fibers can be further modified to increase a capillary force of the bundle, thereby further increasing hydrophilicity of the resulting fabric. Engineering of the capillary force can be performed by optimizing one or more of a fiber size, a density, or a cross-section of the fibers and/or the bundles. The resultant fabric can exhibit a strong weight reduction, stain resistance, and drying capabilities, among other capabilities.

Use of heterogeneous nucleation allows the localized reduction of metal salt and also cross-link the carbon precursor in the same region. This cross-linked matrix act as the secondary heterogeneous sites for spontaneous Nano particle synthesis and growth during the process of pyrolysis. Selectively creating heterogeneous sites and reducing the metal precursor using highly focused energy beams create various metal-carbon composites with controlled metal positioning. This is such a unique process where a pretreatment process will control the fabrication of complex metal-carbon composite nano and microstructures. This greatly simplifies the fabrication process, facilitating nanostructures like Nano metal bulbs, nanometal pointed nanogaps and metal sandwich structures with such process. With several advantages ranging from electronics, catalysis, optics and several other bio-functionalization technologies, this enables materials with unique and hybrid advantages. Moreover, fabrication of micro and Nano level structures provides a CMEMS and BIOMEMS relevant approach for wide range of applications.

This patent relates to a lubricating oil with added decorated graphene nanoparticles, which is called nanolubricant. This nanolubricant has automotive and industrial applications and offers as major benefits, simultaneous improvements in the thermal, rheological and tribological properties of the lubricant used as base fluid. Additionally, this nanolubricant offers a rheopectic behavior from a specific concentration, the same behavior that gives it the ability to increase its viscosity over time provided it is subjected to a constant cutting rate. Finally, the decorated graphene may include metallic, ceramic or polymeric nanoparticles, in a concentration range of 0.5% weight/weight to 2% w/w without changing the newtonian fluid behavior of the base lubricant, whereas for concentrations greater than 2% weight/weight and up to 3% weight/weight, the aforementioned rheopectic behavior will be observed.

The invention is a biologically inspired artificial olfactory method and system comprising the design of at least one septum with at least two nostrils, wherein each nostril is designed having special characteristics. This artificial nose permits detecting the direction wherefrom a smell emanates. The septum is utilized to realize the separation of the air currents external to the olfactory system. In this manner the measurement of the environment may be obtained in two different positions simultaneously. These measurements reflect different concentrations and reaction times, consequently they may be utilized to calculate the direction wherefrom a smell emanates.
Each nostril comprises an air chamber performing the principal biological processes carried out within the nose. These processes are: the process of aspiration, the process of division, the process of conduction, the sensing, the processing, the transformation of the air or smell filtration, and expulsion.

The invention relates to a process for the overproduction of shikimic acid and phenolic compounds in fruit and vegetable crops, by means of the combined post-harvest application of abiotic stresses and glyphosate to fruit and vegetable crops in order to produce bioactive compounds of wide-ranging interest and commercial value. The carrot (Daucus carota) was used as the fruit and vegetable crop model. The process can be used to produce and store shikimic acid (AS) and a wide variety of phenolic compounds (CF) in the treated fruit and vegetable crop. There was an increase of more than 1000% in the concentration of shikimic acid and other compounds overproduced and stored as a result of the application of this technology in relation to concentrations in untreated fruit and vegetable crops.

The invention relates to a biologically inspired artificial olfactory method and system designed in such a way that it has at least one partition with at least two nostrils, each nostril being designed with particular characteristics. This artificial nose allows the detection of the direction of origin of a smell. The partition is used to separate the air flows outside the olfactory system. In this way, the environment can be measured in two different positions at the same time. These measurements reflect different reaction times and concentrations, and can therefore be used to calculate the direction of origin of the smell. Each nostril has an air chamber that allows the performance of the main biological processes that take place inside the nose. These processes are: inhalation, division, conduction, sensing, processing, transformation of air or filtering of smells and expulsion.

It is sometimes necessary to move goods or people from one plane to another, for example, to lift a load onto a pick-up truck, to load a van with miscellaneous materials or to enable a person in a wheelchair to go up steps using a ramp that is placed over the steps. For this purpose, the invention provides an automatic loading/unloading ramp that is compact and easy to install. In addition to being automatic, once installed, the ramp can be controlled remotely. The ramp is easy to control and maintain given that it only requires a motor and a simple pulley and rail system. Finally, since the length of the ramp can be varied, the angle of the final slope of the ramp can be modified, so that it can be more or less steep depending on the intended use or the space available.

The invention relates to the processing of carotenoid-accumulating foodstuffs of plant origin under high hydrostatic pressures, with the aim of increasing the phytonutrient content thereof. The method consists in applying a treatment with high hydrostatic pressure, under pressures of between 50 and 200 MPa over a period of 30-60 minutes, and subsequent storing the carotenoid-accumulating foodstuff of plant origin for between 2 and 4 days. The method according to the present invention generates oxidative stress (production of H202 and MDA) in the pressurised cells, without damaging the metabolic capacity thereof (the ribosomal RNA remains intact). The exposure of the cells of the tissue of foodstuffs of plant origin to the pressurisation stress and the subsequent storage thereof induces changes in the expression of genes and proteins of the metabolism producing phytochemicals and increases the concentration of at least one of the phytochemicals related to oxidative stress response. The pressurisation method of the present invention increases the concentration of lycopene by 1000% compared to the control stored for 2 days.

In the present invention a process is described for the production of L-lactate through fermentation of whey with Lactococcus lactis subspecies lactis. Said process comprises (a) the stage of inoculation of the culture medium with Lactococcus lactis subspecies lactis, (b) the stage of production and accumulation of L-lactate in the culture medium, and (c) the stage of extraction of a given volume of fermented broth from the biological reactor. Fermentation in the culture medium takes place at a constant temperature lying in the range from 22 to 29°C, under strict anaerobic conditions and at a pH in the range from 5 to 6. Such operating conditions determine the homofermentative pathway of Lactococcus lactis subspecies lactis, in this manner preventing the generation of byproducts differing from the L-lactate, permitting total use of the lactose, preventing the accumulation of glucose and galactose in the fermented culture medium. Finally, the fermented culture medium is recovered from the fermentation vessel having a minimum concentration of L-lactate of 20 g/l and an optical purity exceeding 90%, together with a concentration not exceeding 0.3 g/l of byproducts differing from L-lactic acid and/or any of the monosaccharides constituting lactose.

The present invention is a novel system that incorporates a solar collector system with direct radiation concentrated using Fresnel lenses. This system accumulates solar energy and uses that energy to heat domestic water. The system comprises a Fresnel lens, two tanks (one inside the other), a copper coil through which the domestic water circulates and which surrounds the inner tank, and thermal insulation for the outer tank. The Fresnel lens directly concentrates the sun's rays onto the exposed glass surface on the upper part of the outer tank. The inside of the main tank houses another smaller tank containing air and the lower part of the latter tank is black in colour, allowing the solar energy to be absorbed more efficiently and the heat generated to be transmitted to the water in the space between the inner and outer tanks. The main tank is thermally insulated with a layer of glass fibre, preventing the heat concentrated in the tank from escaping therefrom. The advantage over other systems is that the entire system is incorporated in one structure that includes the tank with the hot water.

The invention relates to a method for depositing thin films of multi-components and nanostructures. Various parameters are controlled during the method in order to produce the structure of the thin films: the residence time of the mixture of gases in the reactor is controlled by the pump velocity, and direct current (DC) or radiofrequency (RF) sources are used to generate the plasma. Furthermore, the combination of three non-balanced magnetrons enables the alternate emission of elements that configure the multi-component and nanostructured films. The method is monitored by means of an optical emission spectrometer (OES) and a Langmuir probe (LP), the OES enabling the emission corresponding to the electronic transitions of atoms and molecules in the plasma to be monitored. The emissions take place in the visible, infrared and ultraviolet domain. Relations between the spectral networks of various elements have been identified, which guarantee structural characteristics of the thin films. The LP has enabled operating conditions to be identified by means of the measurement of the temperature of the electrons and the measurement of the density of the electrons; in the prototype, it has been decided to carry out this measurement in important significant points in the method.

Abrégé
Porphyridium cruentum biomass first undergoes a stage of cellular disruption and subsequently stages of recovery and purification in order to achieve the purified B-phycoerythin (BFE) protein dye, using isoelectric precipitation and two-aqueous-phase systems. The steps of recovery and purification include isoelectric precipitation followed by a step of liquid/liquid extraction by means of two-aqueous-phase systems that use polyethylene glycol (PEG) and phosphate salts. The BFE protein dye obtained in the two-aqueous-phase extraction step undergoes an ultrafiltration step in order to remove the polymer (PEG) and to obtain a dye with a purity greater than 4.0 defined as the relationship between the absorbencies at 545 and 280 nm (BFE purity=Abs 545 nm/Abs 280 nm).
