Publication number: 20200113209Abstract: This disclosure describes methods to separate solids from liquids in a production facility. A process separates components in the process stream by applying non-condensable media to create density differences and then using a mechanical device to separate the solids from the liquids based on the density difference. The process produces the liquids and solids, which may be further processed to create valuable animal feed products.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2018Publication date: April 16, 2020Inventors: Charles C.

Patent number: 9387104Abstract: A loading basket is secured at its proximal end to a portion of a delivery device. The stent engages with the interior of the stent basket when loaded onto the delivery device to prevent shifting or movement of the stent during delivery of the stent to a desired location within the bodily lumen. In at least one embodiment, the loading basket has a proximal end, a distal end, and a braided surface. The loading basket comprises a proximal end portion, a proximal transition portion, a body portion, a distal transition portion, a distal end portion, and an angled inward distal end. When loaded onto the delivery device, the outer surface of the stent contacts at least the angled inward distal end of the delivery device and movement of the stent is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2011Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Ra Nam, Mark Wood, John Pereira, Eric M.
