Granted: 1999-04-20
Abstract: A process for making a low fat meat product includes grinding the meat having less than 50% fat to reduce the meat to a small particle size.   The meat is then heated to a target temperature less than 100° F, which is hot enough to melt the fat and low enough not to denature the meat.  The meat  is then  placed  in  a  centrifuge  and  subject  to centrifugal separation, thereby making a low fat meat product and an oil product.  The low fat meat is removed from the centrifuge and chilled and the oil product is removed and may later be subject to a polishing operation.  In addition, the process may include mixing the meat after it has been heated and before being placed into the centrifuge.

Title: Process, construct and conjugate for producing multiple nucleic acid copies
Inventor: ENGELHARDT DEAN L
IPC: C12Q1/6865
Filed: 1995-01-12
Granted: 2008-04-01
Abstract: This invention provides inter alia an in vitro process for producing multiple specific nucleic acid copies in which the copies are produced under isostatic conditions, e.g., temperature, buffer and ionic strength, and independently of any requirement for introducing an intermediate structure for producing the copies. In other aspects, the invention provides in vitro processes for producing multiple specific nucleic acid copies in which the products are substantially free of any primer-coded sequences, such sequences having been substantially or all removed from the product to regenerate a primer binding site, thereby allowing new priming events to occur and multiple nucleic acid copies to be produced. This invention further provides a promoter--independent non-naturally occurring nucleic acid construct that produces a nucleic acid copy or copies without using or relying on any gene product that may be coded by the nucleic acid construct. Another aspect of this invention concerns a protein-nucleic acid construct in the form of a conjugate linked variously, e.g., covalent linkage, complementary nucleic acid base-pairing, nucleic acid binding proteins, or ligand receptor binding. Further disclosed in this invention is an in vivo process for producing a specific nucleic acid in which such a protein-nucleic acid construct conjugate is introduced into a cell. A still further aspect of the invention relates to a construct comprising a host promoter, second promoter and DNA sequence uniquely located or the construct. The host transcribes a sequence in the construct coding for a different RNA polymerase which after translation is capable of recognizing its cognate promoter and transcribing from a DNA sequence of interest in the construct with the cognate promoter oriented such that it does not promote transcription from the construct of the different RNA polymerase.

Title: A minimum tillage seeding device
Inventor: JANELLE LUC
IPC: A01C7/00
Filed: 1995-03-14
Granted: 2004-06-22
Abstract: A seeding device principally for no-tillage seeding conditions comprises a drag arm carrying two disk blades and transmitting the necessary forces thereto to cut through crop residues at the ground surface and to open a furrow for seed placement in the soil. The smaller disk is oriented vertically, whereas the larger disk extends at a compound angle from a lower front contact point between the two disks which thus define a V-shaped opener. The larger disk is angled relative to both the direction of travel and to a vertical axis to cut through residues and the soil and to displace a volume of soil for forming a trench. The smaller disk retains soil on a side of the furrow to allow a tube to deliver seeds therein. The smaller blade can also cut residues at the point of contact between the two disks to avoid trash buildup thereat. A depth control wheel which follows the ground surface in order to maintain the disk blades at a constant depth during furrow opening can be adjusted to obtain various seed depths in the soil. At the rear end of the seeding device, a press wheel closes the furrow by replacing the disturbed soil into it and firms the soil around the seeds. The press wheel can be spring biased towards the ground and the spring force adjusted so that the press wheel exerts the appropriate pressure on the soil surrounding the seeds.
