Products:
1) AirCanopy and/or AirBag, w/ Hepa filter, for groups shelters in gyms, churches, and other large structures ---or barns for livestock and livestock feeds, or grain storage bins. These products are designed to modify existing structures to provide protection during nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) attacks or disasters. (The Hepa filter is operated by an alternative power supply.)
2) Shelter-type 72-hour kits w/ potable water, food, medical supplies, lights, radio, battery pack, emergency communications, chemical toilet, and sleeping bag w/ pad, as well as books and games to help occupy time. (One kit is needed for each person that may occupy an emergency shelter.)
3) Hardened Safe Room, w/ Hepa air filter, for home, office, or factory use ---to provide protection during disasters or terrorist-caused disasters. An alternative power system is available, as needed, to operate the Hepa filter. (The above 72-hour kit is suggested for each person planning to occupy any Safe Room during an emergency.)
4) Polyphenolics tablets ---produced from microalgae grown as a new carbon sequestration crop--- to help protect people, pets, and livestock during a bioterrorist attack. (The health and protective benefits of polyphenolics have been established by recent research at the University of California, Davis.)
5) Biosecure food production systems using sustainable, organic, integrated agriculture methods that incorporate environmental controls plus air, water, and plant sensors to quickly detect any evidence of any NBC-type terrorist attack. Nationwide, biosecure food production may be best accomplished by means of franchise operations.
6) Advanced sensors, for air and water, to provide early detection of any NBC or NBC-type attack. Individual units will be linked to area and regional NBC attack-alarm systems and networks.
7) Alternative power and communications systems designed to support communities when all other forms of power and/or communications have been lost due to disasters or terrorist-caused disasters.
8) Telemedicine/ Biosecurity Warning Networks designed to detect, warn, and provide early mitigation during bioterrorist attacks against people, plants, and/or animals. The product is in the form of software used to help develop and sustain these networks.
9) Hardened and special construction techniques, for homes and other structures, to include “pop-off” roof systems and foundation-rollers acting as shock absorbers designed to help protect buildings against tornadoes, earthquakes, and blast-type damage.
10) Community-type homeland defense organizations established and sustained by training and distance learning. This is an organizational service, for fee, provided to give communities the best possible means of protecting themselves from natural disasters and terrorist-caused disasters.

SUMMARY: Fossil fuels will
continue to be a primary source of energy for several more decades.
This source of energy produces large quantities of carbon dioxide
(CO2), the primary “greenhouse gas” determined to
be very damaging to our environment. The President’s Committee
of Advisors on Science & Technology (PCAST) has underscored
the importance of carbon sequestration for the U.S. economy
---- and the health of our population. The Joint Office of Fossil
Energy & Science (JOFES) has established guidelines for
carbon sequestration to reduce current costs, of over $100 per
ton of carbon, to $10 per ton of carbon, by 2015. A number of
carbon sequestration options are therefore being researched.
The subject project is focused on the research of innovative
algalculture, on previously disturbed and unproductive lands,
whereby ponds/ raceways, with pond liners (to hold water), grow
economically important algal crops that utilize carbon (from
CO2) for some 40 percent of their nutrient requirement(s). Proposed
research efforts, as herein detailed, are designed to determine
safe, efficient, and economical options to produce microalgae
crops in raceways located on unproductive lands. At the same
time, research will be focused on determining optimal algalculture
conditions for maximum carbon uptake in the production of high
value crops. In Phase I, research will focus on determining
the quantity of algal-polyphenolics produced to established
a potential high- value crop that could reduce costs of carbon
sequestration to the target $10 per ton of carbon. Technology
used for subject project is based on U.S. Patent No. 5,121,708
and associated Trade Secrets, by David A. Nuttle, inventor (now
licensed by applicant.)
Potential Commercial Application: Farmers with
unproductive lands, and manure or manure effluent, may establish
raceways for algalculture ---and using super-aeration, some
40 percent of algal nutrient needs, carbon, may be supplied
by surplus CO2 found in our air. Farmer cooperatives may be
formed to assist in harvesting algal products such as polyphenolics,
pigments, lipids (biodiesel), proteins, vitamins, minerals,
and so on.
Key Words: Carbon Sequestration Algalculture Unproductive Land Polyphenolics
