Publication number: 20240090531Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to blended meat substitute products and methods of producing the same. In some aspects, a method of producing a meat substitute product can include providing a plant based scaffolding with a carrier material, the carrier material including animal cells, adding a gelation agent to at least one of the plant-based scaffolding, and incubating the carrier material and the plant-based scaffolding in a controlled environment to produce a meat substitute product. In some embodiments, the animal cells can include at least one of skeletal muscle cells, fat cells, connective tissue cells, or skin cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Luke MACQUEEN, John Andrew GETSY, IV, Elizabeth EISENACH, Jade Elizabeth ZHU, Richard COLWELL, Gemma COTTON, Matthew SKINNER

Publication number: 20230294318Abstract: An example system includes a cutting tool and a device configured to remotely control the cutting tool. The device is configured to establish a wireless communication with the cutting tool, and the cutting tool is configured to send a first signal to the device indicating that the cutting tool is enabled to be operated remotely responsive to the cutting tool receiving information indicating that a trigger is locked in an “on” state and a remote switch is in a first position. The device is configured to send a second signal to the cutting tool indicating a request to cause the cutting tool to perform a cutting operation responsive to receiving information indicative of actuation of at least one button of a user interface of the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Luke Skinner, Timothy Ryan Obermann, Benjamin Oliver Ryan Cabot, Thomas Cunningham Hanks

Patent number: 11759842Abstract: A power tool including a moveable piston, a motor capable of driving the moveable piston to perform work on a work piece, and a distance sensor configured to sense a movement of the moveable piston. The distance sensor operable to provide sensor information indicative of the movement of the piston. A controller receives the sensor information from the distance sensor. The controller operates the motor to perform work on the work piece based in part on the sensor information that the controller receives from the distance sensor.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Luke Skinner, Kris Kanack, James Ballard, David Bauer
