20110268852 | METHODS OF PROTEIN PROCESSING AND PRODUCT - This disclosure relates to the use of power ultrasound to provide for whey protein solutions with low turbidity. In one embodiment, power ultrasound is applied using a 20 kHz generator at between about 3 W and about 15 W. Power ultrasound may be applied for different application times, including, but not limited to about 5 minutes and about 15 minutes. Power ultrasound may be applied at temperatures between about 20° C. and about 60° C. In one embodiment, power ultrasound is applied with no temperature control [NTC]). In various embodiments the application of power ultrasound to whey suspensions is carried out on whey suspensions obtained at any of 4 identified, different steps in a common commercial process. In some embodiments and examples there is a 90% decrease in whey sample turbidity when power ultrasound is applied. A specific example is the 90% decrease in whey sample turbidity achieved when power ultrasound is applied to a whey suspension of 28.2% of solids containing 35.6% of protein on a dry basis. Favorable power ultrasound conditions include, but are not limited to, power ultrasound applied for 15 min using 15 W of mechanical power at 60° C. and NTC conditions. Surprisingly, increasing the protein content from 35.6% to 88.0% resulted in an increase in turbidity of samples with the same conditions. | 11-03-2011 |

20120197910 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT RESEARCH - A system and method for efficiently and accurately identifying relevant document classifications is contemplated. The document analysis system receives classified reference documents along with a relevancy indicator for each document and generates sensory indicators that assist a researcher in identifying relevant classifications that have not been previously researched. In one aspect, the document analysis system generates a table of classifications, the classifications being determined by scoring of each classification cited within each relevant document. The system then determines a sensory indicator (e.g. a color) for each classification that indicates the extent to which the classification has been previously searched. The classification analysis window thus allows the researcher to quickly determine (e.g. by visual inspection) which classification codes have been cited most frequently as well as which classification codes require further search. In this manner the researcher may quickly determine where to direct a next iteration of a search. | 08-02-2012 |

Each block is colored according to the prevalence of any keyword within a given keyword group. The color of a block thus indicates the relative presence of a concept in the document. The document analysis system also determines a unique color for each block of keywords for highlighting in the text of the document. In this manner a researcher can quickly identify passages that contain multiple concepts. Additionally, the researcher is provided the ability to quickly locate reference characters, figure numbers and patent numbers in the document. | 08-09-2012 |

20120296360 | APPOSITION FIBER FOR USE IN ENDOLUMINAL DEPLOYMENT OF EXPANDABLE DEVICES IN TORTUOUS ANATOMIES - A catheter assembly includes an expandable device that is disposed at a distal end of a catheter and expandable toward a fully deployed outer dimension. A fiber extends from the catheter and is releasably coupled to a side wall of the expandable device near or at an end of the expandable device to maintain an inner curvature of the expandable device as the expandable device is deployed. | 11-22-2012 |
20130123896 | EXTERNAL STEERABLE FIBER FOR USE IN ENDOLUMINAL DEPLOYMENT OF EXPANDABLE DEVICES - The present disclosure describes treatment of the vasculature of a patient with an expandable implant. The implant is constrained to a reduced delivery diameter for delivery within the vasculature by at least one sleeve. The implant can be constrained to other diameters, such as an intermediate diameter. The sleeves can be expanded, allowing for expansion of the diameter of the expandable implant, by disengaging a coupling member from the sleeve or sleeves from outside of the body of the patient. The expandable implant can comprise a steering line or lines which facilitate bending and steering of the expandable implant through the vasculature of a patient. | 05-16-2013 |
