20090269440 | COMPOSITIONS INCREASING MOISTURE CONTENT AND DISTRIBUTION IN MUSCLE-DERIVED FOOD PRODUCTS - Methods for making dry protein powder or aqueous functional protein suspension compositions which provide increased moisture content and moisture retention in meats and other animal muscle tissue-based products have been developed. An important aspect is the use of alkali rather than an acid or a series of acid and alkaline treatments to dissolve the protein in the starting material. This includes both muscle and connective tissue proteins and fats, yielding a product in higher yield than acid based and other processes in which fat and connective tissue is removed and then only the remaining muscle dissolved in the acid. The connective tissue and fat increases water retention in meat into which it is injected, as compared to meat extracts containing only muscle proteins. | 10-29-2009 |

They key is generated by the K-algorithm having the identifier associated with the K-algorithm input. In response to the receipt of the parameters and the verification number, the wireless unit generates a trial verification number by using the A-algorithm with the parameters and the stored key as trial inputs. The unit compares the verification number to the trial verification number for a match. When finding the match, the unit uses the parameters for programming of the unit in the particular communications system. When failing to find the match, the unit fails to use the parameters for the programming. | 07-23-2009 |
