According to the production method of the present invention, generation of fine particles in the production process of a liquid food composition containing a divalent metal salt, a protein, and water-soluble dietary fibers is reduced. Therefore, emulsification stability of the composition is improved, clogging of aggregates in strainer disposed in the production line etc. are eliminated, and thus the composition can be efficiently produced. Furthermore, since the composition obtained by the production method shows fluidity in the neutral region, but solidifies in the stomach environment, it can be conveniently ingested or given with a tube, and can effectively reduce the risks for developing gastroesophageal reflux disease, aspiration pneumonia, diarrhea, etc.
US10034483B2	Non-porous weights for use in fermenting vessels An improved weight for use in fermenting vessels (e.g., glazed ceramic fermenting crocks) comprises a multi-sectioned weight made from a non-porous material.

US10034457B2	E-dog training mat An electronic sensing device used to detect the presence of a pet thereon and emit a communication through an audio alert or notification to the pet's owner of the pet's need to leave the house or go outside through a selected pre-programmed audio sound produced through speakers or a wireless notification (e.g., such as a push notification, e-mail, or any other type of wireless notification) transmitted to a smart phone or other electronic device (e.g., software program or application, etc . . . ); or one or both, as desired.
US10034454B2	Feral hog feeder assembly A feral hog feeder assembly includes a housing having an opening therein and a door closing the opening. A hopper positioned within the housing is in communication with a receiver that retains food material from the hopper. A food release is mounted to the housing and is in communication with the hopper. The food release is movable to an open condition placing the hopper in an open position or in a closed condition placing the hopper in a closed position. The food release includes a floor pan for walking upon by an animal and which extends through the opening. A stop attached to the food release apparatus and engages the door when the food release is in the opened condition and disengages from the door when the food release is in the closed condition. A plurality of spacers on the floor pan prevents access to the housing by non-hoofed animals.
