The present application is directed to Seed Preservation and Storage Containers and a process for preserving and long term storing of a wide variety of crop seeds, plant seeds, heirloom seeds, flowering plant seeds, tree seeds, and grains including corn, beans, peas and rice. Each long term storage and preservation container will be labeled with the container seed contents information on QR codes or Bar codes, or the like, in and on containers, and the seed packets stored within the containers. By using a method of preservation and storage for an extended period of time, seed containers will be processed resulting in an ultimate climate condition to prevent the seeds within the seed containers from molding, rotting or prematurely germinating for many years. Contents of the seed containers will be readily revealed by scanning the outside labels on the containers and on the individual seed packet labels within the containers.

A display container for displaying an aromatic botanical specimen includes: (a) a container body for enclosing the botanical specimen and scented air having a scent of the botanical specimen; (b) at least one scent discharge port in the container body; and (c) an air pump coupled to the container body and operable to discharge the scented air from within the container body to the environment through the scent discharge port.

A die cut tray insert is provided including a first face and a second face, opposite and parallel to the first face; first and second assemblies secured at one end to one of the first and second faces and configured to swing between an open position and a closed position such that a pot associated with the live sample is secured on two sides; and a third face and a fourth face, perpendicular to the first and second faces and opposite and parallel to one another, the third face configured to cover a top portion of the pot associated with the live sample and the fourth face configured to contain the pot within the first, second and third faces. The third face covering the top portion of the pot is configured to reduce spillage from the pot when the first and second assemblies are in a closed position.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for a multisensory examination jar for botanical specimens. Embodiments of the disclosed jar may have a body portion with an integrated LED array for illuminating the contents of the jar. The jar may have a removable lid with an integrated magnifying lens, and an opening or port to enable a user to smell the contents of the jar. The opening may have a removable plug to establish a substantially air tight seal on the lid of the jar, to trap odors within the jar. The removable plug can be selectively removed to enable the user to smell the contents of the jar. The jar may have an electronics module and power source operable for wireless charging. The jar may also be configured to interface with a charging dock or base for wireless charging of integrated batteries.

An apparatus, method and system for use in the shipment, delivery, and display of flowers. The apparatus comprises a preferably translucent enclosure with a lid, housing a removable tray assembly. The removable trays have aligned openings for the insertion of flower stems. The enclosure itself is configured to be stacked conveniently on a pallet for bulk shipment and delivery. The system and method comprise providing an interface for users to order flowers contained in the enclosure and delivering the enclosure with a customized multimedia electronic greeting.

A packaging bag as an agricultural container has a film which forms a partition separating a housing space which houses agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables from an external space. The packaging bag includes a CA film and a porous film. The CA film contains cellulose acylate having an acyl group substitution degree of 2.00 to 2.97. The porous film is formed such that a plurality of pores having an average pore size of 0.0050 m to 5.0 m penetrate the film in a thickness direction.

Disclosed herein are carbon dioxide capture devices, facilities, methods, and compositions. Specifically disclosed herein are devices, facilities, compositions and methods to capture carbon dioxide from the Earth's atmospheric air for providing long-term sequestration of the captured carbon and/or utilization thereof. To this end, a carbon dioxide capture device configured in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention can comprise a coating substrate having at least one coatable surface and a carbon dioxide capture coating composition on a coatable surface of the coating substrate. The carbon dioxide capture coating composition preferably comprises a coating material and a photosynthetic organism, wherein the photosynthetic organism is at least one of admixed within the coating material and on an exposed surface of the coating material. The coating material can deliver all or a portion of water to the photosynthetic organism necessary for sustaining photosynthetic activity of the photosynthetic organism.

The present invention relates to a method for inducing artificial hibernation of fish that is capable of transporting the fish in a state of being alive for long hours. According to the present invention, a water temperature is gradually decreased from an initial water temperature to the lowest water temperature, the fish are induced to the artificial hibernation, and they are packed in a waterless state. The packing is carried out in an environment where the lowest water temperature is constantly maintained, and a refrigerant is also packed to constantly maintain a temperature in a packing container, while oxygen is continuously supplied to the live fish induced to the artificial hibernation. The fish are individually packed in the Styrofoam box, and even if an atmospheric pressure in the airport is lowered during transport of the fish, there is no danger of causing respiration of the fish to be hard due to a plastic bag damaged. Through the hibernation inducing method and packing capable of reducing stress of the fish, in addition, the fish can be alive in a waterless environment for 36 hours or more, thereby making possible to globally distribute the live fish.
