Apparatus for extracting pomegranate seeds from pomegranates including a pomegranate breaker operative for breaking open pomegranates generally without cutting pomegranate seeds at the interior of the pomegranates and a pomegranate seed extractor operative to engage broken open pomegranates for separating the pomegranate seeds from other parts of the pomegranates. A network of symbols are generated to create a symbol backbone, and raw object or content descriptions are mapped to the generated symbols. This invention also relates to uses of the method of formation of the shape-retentive aggregates of gel particles. The presence of this signal will arm the firing circuit. A controller operates a switch to turn the normally off UV lamp on before opening a fill valve to replenish water in the tank.
