Filed:

Mar 13, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/096886

Inventors:

Michael Fitzpatrick - Uniondale NY

Assignee:

The Harvest Festival Ltd. - Uniondale NY

International Classification:

A23L 128

US Classification:

426 61, 426 18, 426459, 426460, 426615, 426618, 426629, 426634

Abstract:

A class of food products whose nutrients have not been damaged by heat during the preparation process. These products are prepared with methods to limit souring thus permitting these food products to be prepared at a temperature low enough to minimize damage to vital nutrients (especially enzymes) without the objectionable excessive sourness and bitterness of similar products prepared without such methods. The result is a new class of delicious and nutrient rich health food products with many health benefits. Also disclosed is a Wet Grain Press for quickly and easily compressing very wet sprouts.

Abstract:

Food products containing whole chia seeds or a gluten-free agglutinant derived therefrom are made by mixing a food material with water, adding whole chia seeds or an agglutinant derived therefrom in an agglutinating amount, and reducing the water activity of the mixture. Other ingredients such as honey, syrups, and sprouted grains can also be mixed with the chia seeds. The gluten free varieties are of especial value for those individuals who are allergic to the gluten in wheat and other grains.

Abstract:

A multiposition readable trim position indicator for outboard motors or the like for determining the tilt or angularity of the propeller with respect to a parallel position to the water level. The trim position indicator is attached to the side of the top cover of the outboard motor to give an indication of the angle between the axis of the outboard motor propeller and the water surface. When the outboard motor is tilted, e. g. as the boat comes up to planing speed, the trim position indicator indicates the angular degree of tilt by means of a level-seeking mechanism therein which no longer is centered between two indicator markings. Consequently, appropriate trimming measures may be taken so that maximum propulsion is restored. Due to its unique design, the pointer face of this trim position indicator is readable from both a sitting position and a standing position in the boat. Methods of mounting the trim position indicator on outboard motors both with and without hydrofoil stabilizers are also provided.
