| 20090155439 | Mechanical extrusion process for stabilizing cereal and oil seed bran and germ components - The present invention provides a mechanical extrusion stabilization process for whole grains having a shelf life of at least 12 months. Whole grain food compositions using the stabilized bran of the present invention, and blended compositions are also described. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090162513 | Rice hull composition - A consumable food composition is provided containing rice hull particles or blends of rice hull particles and bran. The food compositions have excellent fiber content and are advantageously nutritious. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090162514 | Production of pasta using rice bran and rice flour - The present invention provides a pasta product wherein a portion of the semolina used in pasta is substituted with stabilized rice bran resulting in a finished product having significantly more dietary fiber. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090220666 | Utilization of stabilized bran in high protein products - The present invention relates to meat product compositions, including meat analog products, including at least one type of bran material as a meat extender. Use of the bran material, such as a stabilized rice bran, provides an extender with added nutritional and cost-effective benefits, while retaining the organoleptic properties of the resulting meat product or meat analog product composition. | 09-03-2009 |

| 20080296419 | REFINER PLATES HAVING STEAM CHANNELS AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING BACKFLOW STEAM FROM A DISK REFINER - A refining plate for refining lignocellulosic material including: a radially outer peripheral edge and a substrate surface; a refining zone having a plurality of substantially radially disposed bars and grooves between the bars, wherein the bars protrude upward from the substrate surface and the grooves each have a groove width, and a steam channel traversing the bars and grooves of the refining zone, wherein the steam channel has a radially outer end radially inward of the outer peripheral edge of the plate and the steam channel has a width substantially greater than the groove width. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090145989 | REFINER PLATE FIXTURES FOR QUICK REPLACEMENT, AND METHODS AND ASSEMBLIES THEREFOR - A refiner plate carrier for use in refining lignocellulosic material including a mounting mechanism for mounting to a refiner plate segment and not a rotor or stator disk. The combined plate carrier and refiner plate segment may be then attached to a refiner disk. The refiner plate carrier need not provide structural support to the segment during lignocellulosic refining. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20100294864 | REFINER STATOR PLATE HAVING AN OUTER ROW OF TEETH SLANTED TO DEFLECT PULP AND METHOD FOR PULP DEFLECTION DURING REFINING - A method of refining celluosic fiber material between opposing discs in a refiner including: feeding the fiber material to between the discs; rotating at least one of the discs to propel the fiber material radially outward and between the discs; refining the refining material by passing the material through rows of intermeshing teeth on the opposing discs; and deflecting the refining material as the material flows through an outer row of teeth on one of discs, wherein the teeth in the outer row have a leading sidewall angled to deflect pulp material moving radially between the teeth. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20110155828 | MECHANICAL PULPING REFINER PLATE HAVING CURVED REFINING BARS WITH JAGGED LEADING SIDEWALLS AND METHOD FOR DESIGNING PLATES - A method of mechanically refining lignocellulosic material in a refiner having opposing refiner plates including: introducing the material to an inlet in one of the opposing refiner plates or array of plate segments; rotating at least one of the plates with respect to the other plate, wherein the material moves radially outward through a gap between the plates due to centrifugal forces created by the rotation; passing the material over bars in a refining section of a first one the plates and through grooves between the bars, wherein the bars each include a sidewall with an irregular surface, and discharging the material from the gap at a periphery of the refiner plates. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20080278040 | Air bypass system for biosafety cabinets - A biosafety cabinet has an air bypass system. The air bypass system reduces air noise and static pressure in the biosafety cabinet, and continues a supply of air to the blower, when the view screen or door is fully closed by providing an alternate path for the air entering the cabinet. The air bypass system further includes an armrest provided on the door sill. The armrest may have perforations on the front and rear surfaces of the armrest to allow the air to travel under the armrest, through an air inlet. The air bypass system additionally blocks germicidal light generated inside the biosafety cabinet from escaping when the view screen or door is fully closed. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080278041 | Cable port for biosafety cabinet - A biosafety cabinet includes at least one cable port disposed in a wall of the cabinet that allows small tubing and/or cables to enter the cabinet through the walls. The cable port eliminates problems associated with running the tubing and/or cables through an open door at the front of the cabinet. The cable ports enable the user to fully close the view screen door, while maintaining the ability to connect various tubes and/or cables to devices in the interior work area of the cabinet. The biosafety cabinet further includes a double wall configuration with negative pressure air space between the two walls. Air and byproducts or contaminants attempting to escape from the cabinet into the room or enter the cabinet from the outside environment is captured in the negative pressure area between the walls and transported directly to an air filter. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080278042 | Biosafety cabinets with air filters accessible through the work chamber - A biosafety cabinet includes one or more air filters below the work surface and a system for holding, sealing, replacing and disposing the air filters through the work access opening of the biosafety cabinet. The air filters under the work surface of the biosafety cabinet capture particulates entering the cabinet from the exterior environment and the particulates within the cabinet's work chamber. Instead of a mechanical clamp, the perimeter of the air filters are sealed using a gasket and a tape, eliminating the accumulation of the contaminants around mechanical clamps. The air filters may be accessed through the work access opening of the biosafety cabinet, packaged for disposal and removed from the biosafety cabinet without being exposed to the exterior environment. A filter cover with an adhesive surface is used to cover and lift the used, contaminated air filter within the biosafety cabinet. | 11-13-2008 |
