A process for simultaneously extracting, saponifying, and isolating lutein and zeaxanthin, and a mixture of several rare carotenoids in high purity from plants without the use of harmful organic solvents. Lutein crystals containing 5% zeaxanthin were obtained from the dried petals of Marigold flowers Tagete erecla while zeaxanthin was isolated and purified from the berries of Lycium Chinese Mill (LCM berries). Similarly, this process has been employed to isolate and purify a mixture of lutein, beta-carotene, neoxanthin, violaxanthin, and lutein epoxide from green plants, preferably, kale, collard green, and spinach. These plants, to a lesser extent, also serve as a source of several rare carotenoids such as alpha-cryptoxanthin (Marigolds) and beta-cryptoxanthin (LCM berries). The purified carotenoids isolated by this process are free from impurities and serve as a safe source of nutritional supplement for human consumption as well as providing a suitable and effective color additive for human foods.

A port terminator includes an outer nut, which may be either electrically conductive or non-electrically conductive, and an electrically conductive ground insert.

A packer for downhole use features interacting elements of swelling material. Preferably the elements are in contact for relative movement from an initial diameter for run in. As the elements swell, they move with respect to each other to enlarge the diameter of the assembly so that a sealing contact is made. Each element exerts a residual force on the adjacent element to enhance the seal. Each element is preferably coated with a material that allows well fluids to reach the swelling material and then later to stiffen and become impervious from exposure to such fluids. The assembly can be covered for run in to delay the onset of expansion until the target depth is reached for the packer to be set.

A mechanical handheld type deposit sampler consists of a knife pot assembly and a bush assembly. The knife pot assembly includes the hand bar, the upper end cover, the knife pot and the inserting tube. The bush assembly installed in the knife pot assembly includes the brush cover, the filter screen and the bush, and the claw petal.

In the inserting procedure, the seawater through the filter screen and the drain hole is discharged outside. With the deposit touching the cover of the bush, the bush is brought to move upwards. When the cover touching the locknut, the claw petal is closed to cut off the deposit, sealing the opening so as to complete the sampling operation.

A bifurcated stent that uses turning segments to reduce the strain at regions which bend at extreme angles. The turning segments can be placed on side branch petals or on connectors connecting the petals to the stent body. Combining the turning segments with connectors of different length and tethers provides for a stent with high flexibility that can accommodate various shaped body vessels. This design allows the bifurcation branch to extend easily, to a useful distance, and to be deployed along oblique angles. Best of all, this design avoids the problems of angularly strained side branch.

A stent may include a side branch cell comprising a plurality of petals. When deployed in a bifurcated vessel, petals located near the inside of the bifurcation may experience high amounts of bending. A petal may include a predetermined bending region in which the petal is treated and may have less bending strength. Therefore, the petal will bend at the predetermined bending region in a predetermined fashion. A bending region may be heat-treated to reduce strength, may comprise less cross-sectional area than other portions of the petal, etc.
