WARMING BETA FISH FISHBOWL
20220015336 · 2022-01-20 ·

An article of manufacture for providing an environmentally appropriate fishbowl for maintaining a proper living environment for a Beta Fighting Fish is disclosed. A warming Beta bowl is a non-breakable clear, glass, plastic, or acrylic fishbowl or square with a vented lid. The warming Beta bowl comes with a removable clear non-breakable warming tube that is filled with warm water to give a pet fish a warm area in the bowl without needing an electric heater. The fishbowl vented lid includes a restraining vent opening that is sized and shaped to accept insertion of the warm water tube and hold it in place while in use. Warm water is poured into the warm water tube such that when it is placed in the fishbowl it transfers heat from the warm water to the main water in the fishbowl keeping the water temperature within a desired temperature range.

The present disclosure provides systems for heat source, e.g., data center, cooling and aquaculture. In certain aspects, the systems include a heat source, e.g., data center, having a water cooling subsystem configured to receive cool water and output warm water and an aquaculture center co-located with the heat source, e.g., data center, and configured to receive the warm water. Aspects of the invention also include methods for cooling a heat source, e.g., data center, using a water cooling subsystem and cultivating aquatic organisms with an aquaculture center that is co-located with the heat source, e.g., data center.

Heat delivery system and method

A heat delivery system for agricultural applications, the system including: piping including alternate heat insulated segments and heat transferring segments, the piping being configured with a fluid flow path extending through the alternating heat insulated segments and heat transferring segments; and a fluid propelling arrangement configured for motivating flow of heat accommodating fluid within the fluid flow path.

Method for NR Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) and Evaluation Period Determination
20210258098 · 2021-08-19 ·

Methods are proposed to define UE behavior for performing synchronization signal block (SSB) based radio link monitoring (RLM) and channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) based RLM. In a first novel aspect, if CSI-RS based RLM-RS is not QCLed to any CORESET, then UE determines that CSI-RS RLM configuration is error and does not perform RLM accordingly. In a second novel aspect, SSB for RLM and RLM CSI-RS resources are configured with different numerologies. UE perform SSB based RLM and CSI-RS based RLM based on whether the SSB and CSI-RS resources are TDMed configured by the network. In a third novel aspect, when multiple SMTC configurations are configured to UE, UE determines an SMTC period and whether SMTC and RLM-RS are overlapped for the purpose of RLM evaluation period determination.

INSULATED AND VENTILATED SHELLFISH STORAGE
20210227806 · 2021-07-29 ·

Various embodiments relating to insulated and ventilated shellfish storage, for transport for example, are disclosed. An insulated container includes a bottom and walls defining an interior space to accommodate live shellfish. A CO.sub.2 handling feature to handle CO.sub.2 that is released into the interior space by the live shellfish is also provided. The CO.sub.2 handling feature could include, for example, a ventilated wall having a vent at a location toward the bottom of the insulated container, CO.sub.2 scrubbing, a CO.sub.2 accumulation structure to accumulate CO.sub.2 below the live shellfish, and/or a ventilated wall substantially parallel to the bottom to divide the interior space into an animal section to accommodate the live shellfish and a CO.sub.2 accumulation section to accumulate CO.sub.2. Embodiments are based on a discovery by the inventor that CO.sub.2 is a limiting factor for storage time of crustaceans out of water.

MARINE FARMING SYSTEM
20210227803 · 2021-07-29 ·

Provided are systems and methods for farming bivalves, such as clams, oysters and scallops, using the principles of geothermal cooling. The system comprises a housing for containing the bivalves and a fluid distribution system configured to move water from a relatively warm body of water, such as an inlet to an ocean, to the housing. The fluid distribution system includes a conduit having an outer surface in thermal contact with a natural thermal reservoir with a temperature cooler than the body of water. The conduit is configured to transfer energy from the water to the thermal reservoir to cool the water and to pump nutrient-rich cooler water through the housing containing the bivalves.

An enclosure capable of supporting one or more phyla of living plants and organisms includes various panels that form the enclosure along with at one front door panel movable to provide access to the interior of the enclosure. A water inlet port is arranged in the top assembly. A drainage system is located on the bottom of the enclosure includes a sloped drainage panel, a sump, and a drain tube. The enclosure further includes an air circulation and ventilation system having the upper vent screen and a lower vent screen separable by a circulation distance that generates a chimney effect within the enclosure. The enclosure may also include a microfauna trough on top of the drainage panel.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRESERVING CRUSTACEANS
20210282377 · 2021-09-16 · ·

A system and method for the long-term preservation of crustaceans, particularly crawfish. Certain embodiments sort quantities of live crawfish into tightly-packaged bags for rapid freezing to minimize damage to the crawfish and enhance the effectiveness of the preservation process.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PASSIVE SOLAR CONTAINERS WITH INTEGRATED AQUAPONICS, GREENHOUSE AND MUSHROOM CULTIVATION
20210161089 · 2021-06-03 ·

A foldable aquaponics, and greenhouse container system and method, includes an insulated shipping container having foldable insulated roof panel disposed thereover; a foldable glazing on a sun facing side at an angle to maximize winter sunlight attached to the roof panel; a foldable floor panel attached to the container with a foldable vent panel attached thereto connecting to the glazing; foldable side panels attached to sides of the container, glazing and roof panel; a plant growing under the glazing; a mushroom growing area within the container having an integrated water wall thermal mass and disposed between the plant and mushroom growing areas; a fish tank within the container; and a natural air ventilation system within the container under the roof panel to provide CO2 and O2 gas exchange between the mushroom growing area and the plant growing area.

AQUARIUM WITH WIRELESS POWER SUPPLY FUNCTION

An aquarium with a wireless power supply function is disclosed.
