Patent number: 11980199Abstract: Shrimp processing apparatus to peel shrimp along with methods for peeling shrimp are described herein. The shrimp processing apparatus may be provided in systems including one or more processing stations configured to peel individual shrimp, where peeling may involve removal of shell segments on the dorsal surfaces of the shrimp abdomen and/or removal of pleopods/swimmerets on the ventral surfaces of the shrimp abdomen and, optionally, separation of shell segments. The processing systems and methods may, in one or more embodiments, include apparatus for and methods of measuring the shrimp.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Nova-Tech Engineering, LLCInventors: Elliot D. Eid, Roger Harkess, Derek Gramstad, Jeremy Imdieke, Robert Johnson, Dana Mathew Molenaar, Jacob Rooney, Christopher J. Stark, John Steckelberg, Joseph Thiel, Marc Zinda

Patent number: 7699829Abstract: An apparatus and method for catheter-based sensing and injection at a target site within a patient's body. An injection catheter is equipped with electrodes at its distal end which contact the surface of a target site, such as an AV node of the heart. Electrical signals detected at the target site by the electrodes are fed via leads to the proximal end of the catheter, where they are received by a monitor, such as an EKG monitor. If the electrical signals satisfy predetermined criteria, a needle within the catheter is extended into the target site, and a therapeutic agent is injected into the target site.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2005Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Chad G. Harris, Matthew L. Hawk, Timothy J. Mickley, Dorin Panescu, Maria Palasis, Jacob Rooney, Toby Freyman
