Title: Method and apparatus for separating meat from bone
Inventor: GULAK KENNETH BENJAMIN
IPC: A22C17/04
Filed: 2008-10-06
Abstract: A separator apparatus that separates meat from bone in two distinct separation stages includes a rotary cam pump in series with a deboning screw assembly. In the first separation stage, substantially bone-free meat is separated from bone as the meat-bone mixture passes through the rotary cam pump, and expelled from the separator apparatus. The rotary cam pump then drives the remaining meat bone mixture into the deboning screw assembly, where a second separation stage occurs in which additional substantially bone-free meat is separated from bone as the meat-bone mixture passes through the deboning screw assembly, and is also expelled from the separator apparatus. The remaining bone residue is expelled from a bone residue outlet on the separator apparatus. The meat separated during the first stage can have a different coarseness than that separated during the second stage, and each can be expelled and collected at a different location.
Patent CA-2641173-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARANEK RICHARD
IPC: B60R25/00
Filed: 2007-02-01
Abstract: Disclosed are a number of novel features. Among them are configuring the casing of the present invention such that once deployed an attempted forced or unauthorized removal of the casing from the vehicle will render the vital vehicle component encased by the casing inoperable. This inoperability may include, but is not limited to, detaching from the vital vehicle component at least one wire extending from the vital vehicle component. Alternatively, the casing may be fabricated from a material with a relatively low melting point and the casing may be deployed such that an attempted unauthorized removal using a cutting torch will cause portions of the casing to melt such that molten casing material will fall onto and damage the vital vehicle component and render it inoperable. Another feature is that of configuring the casing from a material having a first set of material properties and attaching the casing element one to another using connectors having a second set of material properties. The material properties of the casing include a low melting point and the material properties of the connectors include a hardness such that friction between a connector and a rotating portion of a tool, such as but not limited to a drill bit or a grinder wheel, causes the temperature of the connector to exceed the low melting point of the casing material. Thusly configured, during an attempted unauthorized removal of any one of the connectors using a tool having a rotating portion, the anti-theft characteristics of the anti-theft device of the present invention are enhanced by the welding of the connector to at least one of the interconnecting elements of the casing.

Abstract: An intravenous fluid tube stabilization device (10) for an intravenous feeding tube (31) is formed of an acrylic material that has a cylindrical shape. A lengthwise slit forms two overlapping sides (15, 16) for the device that can be manually spread apart to fit over and clamp onto the top bed rail (13) of a hospital bed. A flap (21) formed in the side of the device that is opposite to the slit has an arcuate end (24) and a fold line (22, 23) spaced from the end through a distance that is greater than the diameter of the intravenous feeding tube. When the arcuate end is bent toward the top of the bed rail, it forms a gap that accommodates the feeding tube between the device and the flap, enabling most of the drag applied by the feeding tube to be borne by the device and to permit relatively free movement of the tube transverse to the bed rail to accommodate the movement of the patient.
