Publication number: 20230329870Abstract: A pre-sutured allograft construct and method of manufacture for repairing, replacing, reconstructing, or augmenting a hip or shoulder labrum may include a folded tissue portion extending from a first end to a second end and forming top, middle, and bottom folds. A stitched pattern secures the folded tissue portion into a graft roll having an overall length extending from a first adjustable region, through a central region, and through a second adjustable region. A continuous series of whip stitches extends from the first adjustable region, through the central region, and through the second adjustable region. A series of triple circumferential stitches overlays the whip stitches in the first and the second adjustable regions, while a series of circumferential stitches alternates with the whip stitches in the central region. The construct is pre-manufactured as an allograft product, but is adjustable during the surgical procedure within the body. Other embodiments are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Brian White, Christopher Irons, Ruth Bledsoe, Marina Bull, Kenneth Blood

Publication number: 20230294899Abstract: Food products can be stored and sold in packaging. For example, a perishable food product can be stored in a first compartment of a packaging, and a second food product can be stored in a second compartment. The first compartment can include a modified atmosphere to increase the shelf life of the food product in the first compartment. The second compartment can be under normal atmosphere. This allows a more perishable food product to be stored in the first compartment, and a prepackaged, or otherwise less perishable food product to be separately stored in the second compartment, while extending the shelf life of the food products. The first product could be a sandwich, and the second product be one or more condiments for the sandwich.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: BRIAN WHITE, Jeff Farver, Gerald Lessard

Patent number: 11733409Abstract: A neutron imaging system includes a neutron generator, a flight tube, a stage, a neutron imaging module, and a neutron shield. The flight tube enables neutrons from the neutron generator to enter the flight tube through an input opening and exit through an output opening. The stage supports a sample object to receive neutrons that pass through the entire length of the flight tube and the output opening. The neutron imaging module has a neutron-sensitive component that receives neutrons that pass through the sample object and generates neutron detection signals. The neutron shield surrounds at least a portion of the flight tube and the neutron imaging module to block at least a portion of stray neutrons that travel toward the neutron-sensitive component of the neutron imaging module, in which the stray neutrons do not enter the flight tube through the input opening of the flight tube.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Photonis Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Brian White, W.

Publication number: 20210148047Abstract: A system and method are provided for predictive control of brown stock treatment at a pulp mill. Various online sensors generate output signals representative of actual values for respective process characteristics, each of which are directly or indirectly affected by adjustments to corresponding process variables. A controller uses the output signals or associated measurement data to dynamically set target values for the process characteristics based on a predicted impact of control responses for corresponding process variables. The controller further generates control signals to actuators associated with the respective process variables based on detected variations between the respective actual values and target values. Exemplary brown stock washing control systems may optimize various types of brown stock washing configurations, including for example vacuum drum washers, compaction baffle washers, chemiwashers, direct displacement washers and wash presses.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2020Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: Mark D.
