  • Patent number: 6777542
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the processing of shellfish waste meal. More particularly, to increasing the crude protein while decreasing calcium and phosphorus levels of shellfish waste meal. The method significantly reduces the percent calcium and phosphorus in shellfish waste meal by introducing a strong acid while lowering the ratio of calcium to phosphorus and raising or maintaining protein levels of the shellfish waste meal at a neutral pH level.

  • Patent number: 6600553
    Abstract: The invention relates to a three-dimensional measuring device, comprising a rotating 360 degree sensor head, a laser scanner and an extendable mast system. The sensor head contains a 360 degree rotating multi-faceted mirror, which determines total path distance from the laser scanner to a particular target. Angular orientations on both the scanner and the faceted mirrors are calculated by a precision encoding system. The measured total path distance, mast system extension, scanner head rotation, mirror rotation angles, and mast deflection are all used to calculate the location of a target point in 3-D space relative to the scanner. The sensing device can be utilized in the construction and nuclear power areas. In the nuclear power area, the mast system can be extended into a contaminated area which the sensor remains outside the contaminated area, thereby avoiding contamination problems.
