Patent CA-2889961-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WEISS STEVEN P
IPC: A23K1/00
Filed: 2013-10-28
Abstract: Feeding a diet supplemented with DDGS or another supplement containing UFA at a level above a threshold to animals such as swine, cattle, and poultry can have negative effects on carcass fat, certain growth parameters, and meat characteristics. However, if this diet is provided with a second supplement that contains CPFA at specified levels in the diet, the negative effects otherwise expected are wholly or at least partially countered. The invention recommends employing a supplemental source of CPFA between about 0.001% and about 0.5% of the diet by weight. Negative effects on carcass characteristics caused by ractopamine can also be countered by the addition of this amount of at least one source of CPFA in the diet.

Abstract: A moving image playback apparatus capable of starting within a short time to play back reverse direction moving images is provided. The apparatus includes two decoders and one output buffer. In standby, using I-picture in a specified GOP as a reference, a controller causes a storage device to sequentially read first coded image data of the pictures in a first GOP preceding a specified GOP and the pictures up to I-picture in the specified GOP, and causes a first decoder to decode the first coded image data. Moreover, during the decoding of the first decoder, the controller causes the storage device to sequentially read second coded image data of the pictures in the specified GOP and the pictures up to I-picture in a second GOP following the specified GOP, and causes a second decoder to decode the second coded image data. Thereafter, the controller causes the outputs from the first and second decoders to be written to the output buffer. Thereby, the decoded image data are outputted from the output buffer immediately upon start of reverse playback, and moving images are played back.

Abstract: A braided, rather than woven, three-dimensional matrix has been developed to provide mechanical support in breast reconstruction or a mastopexy procedure. The braided three-dimensional matrix may be used to assist in hernia repair procedures. The matrix is a supple, strong, and flexible material, that can increase 50% to 100% in size when stretched along the vertical plane, but only extends by about 10% to 20% in length when stretched along the horizontal plane. Although the matrix is degradable, it provides sufficient mechanical and structural support for six to twelve months following implantation to allow for repair or growth of the breast tissue or the abdominal wall. The matrix is formed of three-dimensional braided multifilament polymeric fibers plied to create yarn bundles, and wherein the matrix comprises an inter-connected, open pore structure that enables even and random distribution and in-growth of cells.
