  • DAMAGE DETECTION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20070268025
    Abstract: A damage detection system includes a processor and a transmitter communicatively connected to the processor. The transmitter sends a signal to the processor and the processor is programmed to assign a spatial coordinate to the transmitter. The processor is further programmed to identify a transmitter location as damaged when the transmitter fails to send the signal. The damage detection system may analyze the damaged area and report potentially affected sub-systems to users of a machine or vehicle equipped with the damage detection system.

  • Automated damage assessment, report, and disposition
    Publication number: 20070061109
    Abstract: Systems and techniques to assess damage. A damage reporting module may allow a user to provide information indicative of a damage description and damage location. The damage reporting module may create a data object based on the information. The data object may be used to compare the damage event to one or more historical damage events. The data object may be used in an analysis module to automatically determine disposition information (e.g., repair information).

  • Method and apparatus for meat product manufacturing
    Publication number: 20050276903
    Abstract: A system and method for providing information to a control system for regulating the formulation of a meat product is disclosed. The control system may receive information prescribing the formulation of the meat product, analyze characteristics of incoming constituent streams, and adjust the flows based on the final product formulation. The control system may further provide feedback regarding the final product formulation relative to the incoming constituent streams.

  • Method for reducing protein exudate on meat product
    Publication number: 20050255207
    Abstract: A system and method for reducing protein exudate on meat product. The system utilizes input hoppers and eliminates standing time for the meats. The elimination of a standing time for curing or protein extraction eliminates the ability for visible surface protein exudate to form.

  • Integrated continuous meat processing system
    Publication number: 20050255224
    Abstract: An integrated system for continuous production of processed meat products utilizing a continuous mixing system is disclosed. The system includes storage and pre-input hoppers, input lines for pumping streams of meat product constituents into a continuous grinder and mixer, rotating elements within the mixer for mixing the constituents, a surge hopper, equipment for further processing such as stuffing equipment, and transport to and utilization of a continuous thermal process.

  • Method and apparatus for accelerating formation of functional meat mixtures
    Publication number: 20050255221
    Abstract: A system and method wherein meat product constituents are mixed under a high shear force to combine the constituents into a mixture having a stable protein matrix is disclosed. The system incorporates mixing devices in a housing into which the input streams are directed. The system then applies a high shear force over a small volume to mix the constituents together, thereby rapidly combining the meat constituents and other ingredients to rapidly form a stable protein matrix and eliminate the need for a curing stage for protein extraction.

  • Method and apparatus for compostion control for processing meat
    Publication number: 20050255223
    Abstract: A system for making processed meat products employing a feed-forward analysis wherein input streams are analyzed and their flow rates are controlled relative to each other. The system incorporates mixing devices in a housing through which the input streams are forced. The mixing devices provide high shear mixing and blending, and in some cases maceration and salt infusion for rapid protein extraction.

  • Method and apparatus for acceleration ingredient diffusion in meat
    Publication number: 20050255222
    Abstract: A system and method wherein meat product constituents are mixed with high shear force over a small volume of constituent to combine the constituents is disclosed. The system utilizes mixing devices to apply work to incoming meat streams. The high shear force deforms and contorts the meats and allows other ingredients to be forced within the protein strands of the meats, and eliminates the need for a curing stage for protein extraction.

  • Method and apparatus for controlling texture of meat products
    Publication number: 20050249862
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for controlling the texture of meat products. Incoming meat products are quickly ground, macerated, and/or mixed in a small amount of time. The protein extraction that occurs is sufficient for a stable emulsion while protein bonding is optimized to avoid the cooked product having a rubbery or undesirably soft texture.

  • Meat processing system
    Publication number: 20050249863
    Abstract: A system and method for continuous processing of meat product constituents is disclosed. Selected meats are loaded into hoppers, and inputs lines direct the meats and other meat product constituents into a mixer. The mixer provides initial size reduction of the meats, grinds the meat, infuses and mixes the meats and other ingredients, forces protein extraction for forming a stable meat mixture, finely comminutes the mixture, and outputs the mixture.

  • Method and apparatus for vacuum-less meat processing
    Publication number: 20050249864
    Abstract: A system and method for making processed meat products without the need for a vacuum system is disclosed. Meats and other meat product constituents are forced into a mixer having rotating elements for directing the constituents through a housing. The system limits the amount of air that is in contact with the constituents while resident within the housing, and provides high shear force to reduce the necessary mixing time.
