| 20080311259 | High pressure pasteurization of liquid food product - The present invention is a method for pasteurization or sterilization of liquid food products using high pressure in a continuous or semi-continuous flow. The invention involves pressurizing and depressurizing the liquid product for a sufficient duration of time to achieve a 2.5 log cycle reduction in microorganisms. The uniform application of high pressure to the liquid food product coupled with a controlled pH and temperature of the liquid food product, the setting and maintaining the pressurizing media temperature, and the rapid depressurization resulting in cellular disruption of the microorganisms within the liquid product inactivating or destroying the microorganisms, such as vegetative microorganisms, while preserving the functionality of the liquid product. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20110026009 | Surface Mapping by Optical Manipulation of Particles in Relation to a Functionalized Surface - Methods and apparatus for analyzing surface properties of particles are provided. A method for analyzing the surface properties of the particle includes a associating a first particle with a first capture zone having a specific binding affinity for a first chemical species, applying an optical force to the first particle, sensing a response of the first particle to the optical force, and using the sensed response to determine the presence, absence or quantity of the first chemical species on the first particle surface. This process may be repeated in parallel to test multiple particles. In addition to directly testing the surface properties of the particles, the method can be used in direct, indirect and competitive assays to determine the presence, absence or quantity of free or immobilized analytes. A fluidic cartridge with capture zones having avidities that are tuned for the use of optical forces is provided. A software routine for performing the method is also provided. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20100219195 | SLEEVE FOR A CONTAINER - An adjustable sleeve is disclosed that employs a pivot region which allows rotation of the first end of the sleeve relative to the second end of the sleeve. Rotation about the pivot region allows the sleeve size to adapt to many different sizes and tapers of containers. Rotation results in increasing a diameter of the top of the sleeve and decreasing a diameter of the bottom of the sleeve, and vice versa. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20100181328 | Protective sleeve - A container and a sleeve for a container are disclosed that employ unique air channels to divert heat from a hot beverage via hot air escaping upward and downward. The surface of the container and sleeve include raised images, depressed images, or a combination of both which are generally aligned in substantially vertical columns. The space between the columns defines the air channels. The air channels are substantially uninterrupted and facilitate the upward and downward escape of hot air. The images are applied, such as by embossing and/or debossing, which facilitates manufacturing material efficiency and therefore reduces material costs and environmental waste. A blank for a container or sleeve and a method of making a sleeve are also disclosed. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20110073605 | METHOD FOR MAKING SEED-CONTAINING MATERIALS FOR PACKAGING - A method and machine are disclosed for manufacturing a seed-containing material for a food or beverage container or sleeve. The method is automated by a machine which has a conveyor and one or more work stations. During the process, seeds and a securing material, such as an adhesive, are added to the sheet material and the materials are optionally laminated. The method uses a sheet material that may be pre-printed and pre-cut with a blank of a container. The container may be any type of food and beverage container such as a cup, plate, container sleeve, clam shell, or tray. The sheet material is then conveyed for further processing including removal of the blanks from the sheet material and formation into the final product. After its intended end-use, the final product may be planted in a yard, garden, or flower pot to yield flowers or trees depending on the seeds imbedded inside. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110073607 | DISPOSABLE SINGLE USE BEVERAGE PACKAGE - A disposable single use beverage package is disclosed. The package may include an impermeable barrier surrounding a permeable single walled basket. The permeable basket may include a frame and a filter. The permeable basket may also include a lid. The permeable basket may be provided preloaded with beverage grounds or may be loaded with beverage grounds during use. The beverage packet may be manufactured of materials that are biodegradable, compostable, or otherwise environmentally friendly. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20100099638 | IMMUNOCOMPETENT XENOGRAFT MODEL - The teachings are directed to an immunocompetent xenograft model. The model comprises an immunodeficient animal modified to have a reconstituted immune system, wherein a xenograft is transplanted in the animal and allowed to establish for an establishment period of at least about 10 days. The xenograft simulates a tissue in a subject in need of a treatment. In these embodiments, the reconstituted immune system is created after the establishment period, and is created by administering a total number of T-cells to the animal. The total number of T-cells consists of a preselected number of responsive T-cells, a preselected number of non-responsive T-cells, and a preselected ratio of responsive T-cells to total T-cells. The preselected number of responsive T-cells simulates a number of responsive T-cells in the subject, and the ratio of the number of responsive T-cells to total T-cells ranges from about 1:100,000 to about 30:100,000. | 04-22-2010 |
