Patent number: 8157624Abstract: The present disclosure includes various method, device, and system embodiments for meat processing. One such method embodiment includes obtaining animal data for an animal selected to have a solution introduced into its circulatory system in a rinsing process and determining an insertion location based on the animal data. This method embodiment also includes establishing a fluid conduit from a reservoir through the insertion location into the circulatory system of the selected animal by inserting a cannula in fluid communication with the reservoir through the insertion location. The method further includes activating flow of a solution from the reservoir through the fluid conduit to introduce the solution into the circulatory system of the animal.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2010Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: MPSC, Inc.Inventor: Casimir E. Lawler, Jr.

Patent number: 7675409Abstract: One apparatus embodiment includes an electronics assembly including an environmental sensor, memory that provides data storage, a logic circuit, an indicator component, and a power source for providing power to at least one of the logic circuit and the memory. The logic circuit can be designed to perform a time measurement, perform an environmental measurement with the environmental sensor, and/or initiate an alarm status when a calculated alarm event time occurs based upon the environmental measurement. The indicator component can be connected to the logic circuit for displaying the alarm status.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2007Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: PakSense, Inc.Inventors: Thomas P. Jensen, Casimir E. Lawler, Jr., James J. Spencer, Eric R. Larson, Allen M. Bates

Patent number: 6196912Abstract: In the inventive method for the sanitary rinsing of an animal, an assembly line is provided which includes a plurality of shackles. Each shackle includes an inventive tag which includes a machine readable unique shackle number. Once an animal is stunned and attached to a shackle the animal is moved to a weighing station, which is equipped with a tag reader, weighs the animal and transmits the weight and shackle number to a computer where the data is recorded in a database. The animal is then bled and moved to a rinsing station, which is equipped with a tag reader which reads the shackle number. The system then looks up the weight of the animal to be rinsed at that particular rinsing station and calculates the amount of solution to inject into the circulatory system of the animal.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2000Date of Patent: March 6, 2001Assignee: Meat Processing Service CorporationInventors: Casimir E. Lawler, Jr., Richard I. Parry

Patent number: 5931730Abstract: The present invention relates to a secured sanitary catheter for administration of treatment solution into animals comprising a catheter body with a longitudinal bore and a sanitary vascular securing device attached to the catheter body. The catheter body has a proximal end and a distal end, with the longitudinal bore terminating in an opening at the distal end of the catheter body, for delivery of treatment solution into a vessel of an animal. The sanitary vascular securing device contains a plurality of slots for mechanically and frictionally engaging the vessel at two or more points. The present invention further relates to a method for using the secured sanitary catheter of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1997Date of Patent: August 3, 1999Assignee: Meat Processing Service CorporationInventors: Douglas H.

Patent number: 4820281Abstract: Apparatus and method for measuring the volume of a drop, and with a series of drops the volumetric flow rate of a fluid utilizing a vertically oriented, transparent drop chamber through which the fluid is directed in drop form. A plurality of drop sensors positioned adjacent to the drop chamber in vertically spaced relation to each other emit signals in response to the detection of the entrance and exit of each drop to and from separate sensor fields preferably established by light emitting sources. The drop sensors are connected to control circuitry incorporating an electronic processor programmed to determine volumetric flow rate in response to drop dimension and drop rate signals received from the drop sensors. The drop size in terms of the vertical dimension of each drop in the direction of gravity flow through the drop chamber is determined by measuring the time it takes a drop to pass through each and both of the two sensor fields.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1987Date of Patent: April 11, 1989Assignee: Ivy Medical, Inc.Inventor: Casimir E. Lawler, Jr.
