Patent CA-2631371-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PATTERSON ANDREW JOHN
IPC: F17D5/00
Filed: 2008-05-15
Abstract: A manifolded fail-safe hydraulic control system provides fail-safe operation of a pipeline valve using no more than a total of 45 proprietary parts in the system. The system controls the operation of a spring return actuator, which in turn strokes the pipeline valve from the normal operating position to the fail-safe position, or from the fail-safe position to the normal operating position.     The system enables the valve to automatically stroke to its fail-safe position without external power.

Title: A premix for hog feed and a method of feeding a hog to produce dha and epa enriched pork
Inventor: CLUNIES MARTIN
IPC: A23K10/30
Filed: 2009-01-15
Abstract: A premix for hog feed and a method of feeding a hog that produces DHA and EPA enriched pork while avoiding or reducing negative effects to the taste, colour, texture, aroma, pH and shelf life which are significant enough to make the pork unacceptable to consumers. One embodiment of the method of feeding a hog involves feeding a hog over several days with a hog feed supplemented with the premix.  The premix includes marine-sourced docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and plant-sourced alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). The hogs are fed until their total DHA, EPA and ALA intakes are in a certain range per kilogram of the hog's weight. The hogs are then slaughtered and processed into pork products. This results in pork with an enrichment of omega-3 EFAs in the range of about 2.5% to about 4.5% of fat.
