| 20100035532 | TURKEY BREAST DEFATTER - An automated poultry defatting apparatus which includes a housing having a product feed inlet and discharge outlet and housing a conveyor aligned to engage the upper surface of a piece of poultry product entering the feed inlet. The apparatus is provided with upper and lower peeling members for engaging the upper and lower surfaces of the poultry product passing between the conveyor and the peeling members. The peeling members have a plurality of grooved rollers that rotate in a cooperative manner to pinch and pull fat off the product while leaving the underlying muscle intact. The conveyor is pivotably mounted to the housing to permit automatic adjustment to a range of sizes of poultry product while maintaining a controlled downward force against the product to maintain firm engagement with the peeling members. | 02-11-2010 |

| 20110092146 | POULTRY SHOULDER AND NECK SKINNER - An automated apparatus for removing skin from the shoulder and neck areas of a chicken carcass that includes a neck skinner and a shoulder skinner mounted to an elongated support wall in a longitudinally spaced relationship. The neck skinner includes a rotatably-driven gripper having a plurality of fins extending radially therefrom. A pinch block with an arcuate surface is mounted in a close-clearance relationship with the gripper to form a pinch point therebetween. The pinch point of the neck skinner is positioned to engage the neck area of an incoming chicken. The shoulder skinner is substantially similar to the neck skinner except that the pinch point of the shoulder skinner is positioned to engage the shoulder area of an incoming chicken. The apparatus further includes a rotatably-driven indexing conveyor laterally adjacent the neck and shoulder skinners for maintaining a longitudinal separation between chickens that are conveyed through the skinning apparatus. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20080281240 | PNEUMATIC COMPRESSION THERAPY SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USING SAME - Pneumatic compression devices and methods for using the same are disclosed. A pneumatic compression device may include a compression pump, a fill/exhaust valve, a transducer, a plurality of cell valves, and a controller. The compression pump may output a pressurized fluid via an output. The fill/exhaust valve may connect one or more cell valves to the compression pump when in an open state and to the atmosphere when in a closed state. The transducer may sense a pressure level. Each cell valve may correspond to a cell and may connect the fill/exhaust valve to the corresponding cell when in an open state. The controller may determine a state (either open or closed) for each of the fill/exhaust valve and the plurality of cell valves based on at least the pressure level sensed by the transducer. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090145234 | METHODS FOR ENHANCING PRESSURE ACCURACY IN A COMPRESSION PUMP - A method of measuring pressure for a cell in a pneumatic compression device may include performing an inflate/exhaust cycle including for one or more cells of a plurality of cells in a pneumatic compression device, inflating a cell to a target pressure, wherein the target pressure is based on at least a desired pressure, measuring a pressure of the cell, determining an overpressure value associated with the cell based on at least the measured pressure, determining a subsequent target pressure associated with the cell based on at least the measured pressure and the overpressure value, deflating the cell, and inflating the cell until the subsequent target pressure is achieved. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20100286532 | WEARABLE APPARATUS FOR MEASURING HEART-RELATED PARAMETERS AND DERIVING HUMAN STATUS PARAMETERS FROM SENSED PHYSIOLOGICAL AND CONTEXTUAL PARAMETERS - A monitor device and associated methodology are disclosed which provide a self contained, relatively small and continuously wearable package for the monitoring of heart related parameters, including ECG. The detection of heart related parameters is predicated on the location of inequipotential signals located within regions of the human body conventionally defined as equivalent for the purpose of detection of heart related electrical activity, such as on single limbs. Amplification, filtering and processing methods and apparatus are described in conjunction with analytical tools for beat detection and display. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20090195497 | GESTURE-BASED POWER MANAGEMENT OF A WEARABLE PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH DISPLAY - Methods and systems for providing gesture-based power management for a wearable portable electronic device with display are described. An inertial sensor is calibrated to a reference orientation relative to gravity. Motion of the portable device is tracked with respect to the reference orientation, and the display is enabled when the device is within a viewable range, wherein the viewable range is a predefined rotational angle range in each of x, y, and z axis, to a user based upon a position of the device with respect to the reference orientation. Furthermore, the display is turned off if an object is detected within a predetermined distance of the display for a predetermined amount of time. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20100139465 | Micro-Cutting Machine for Forming Cuts in Products - Micro-cutting machines for forming cuts in catheters, guidewires, and similar products, are disclosed, including a micro-cutting machine that can directly control the dimensions of the resultant beams being cut into products, and that can capture images of each cut for feedback control and accuracy verification. | 06-10-2010 |
