Patent number: 11950607Abstract: Provided is a food composition which include a myceliated high-protein food product and methods to make such compositions, which are mixtures of myceliated high-protein food products and other edible materials. A food composition includes dairy alternative products, ready to mix beverages and beverage bases; extruded and extruded/puffed products; sheeted baked goods; meat analogs and extenders; baked goods and baking mixes; granola; and soups/soup bases. Food compositions also include texturized plant protein which can be used for making meat-structured plant protein meat analog or meat extender products. The food compositions have reduced undesirable flavors and reduced undesirable aromas due to use of myceliated high-protein food products as compared to use of similar high-protein material that is not myceliated.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: MYCOTECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Lisa Smith, Todd McDonald, Savita Jensen, Joseph George Akamittath, Alan D. Hahn, Anthony J. Clark, Bhupendra Kumar Soni, James Patrick Langan, Brooks John Kelly, Huntington Davis

Patent number: 11391616Abstract: A redundant level measuring system comprises comprising a chamber for fluidic coupling to a process vessel whereby material level in the vessel equalizes with material level in the chamber. A float including a magnet in the chamber interior space rises and falls with material level in the chamber. The float comprises an inner cylindrical wall defining an elongate through opening. A magnet actuated visual indicator is mounted to the chamber for indicating level of the magnet in the chamber. A level measurement instrument includes a measurement circuit and a coaxial probe having an inner rod and a coaxial outer tube. The probe defines a transmission line and the coaxial outer tube has a through opening so that material level in the chamber equalizes with material level in the coaxial outer tube. The instrument is mounted atop the chamber with the probe directed downwardly to the chamber interior space and extending through the float through opening.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2020Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Ametek Magnetrol USA, LLCInventors: Chase G. Bergeron, Richard R. Lawrence, James J. Clark, III, Donald R. Hite, Jr.

Patent number: 8006833Abstract: A flexible package has a top surface, a bottom surface and at least one side wall together defining an interior volume of the package. An opening device is attached to the top surface and is at least in part detachable from the top surface to provide access to the interior volume. An article is secured to the opening device for conjoint movement with the opening device upon detachment of the opening device from the top surface of the package. In another embodiment, a portion of the side wall extends outward beyond the top surface to a free edge. A closure system is operable on the extended portion of the side wall to permit selective closing and opening of the package.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2010Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: James J. Clark, Jr., Deborah S. Hannah, James R. Marnocha

Patent number: 5096732Abstract: A fat-reduced, edible, water-in-oil spread is produced by heating a fat which is normally solid at room temperature so as to melt a substantial proportion of less thermally stable crystals in the fat; homogeneously admixing sufficient water to the heated fat to reduce the proportion of fat in the resulting admixture; cooling the admixture to crystallize a substantial proportion of the uncrystallized fat and produce a pumpable plastic mass; and subjecting the pumpable plastic mass to cutting and mixing in a turbine-like comminuting device while limiting the temperature rise of the plastic mass.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1990Date of Patent: March 17, 1992Assignee: Ault Foods LimitedInventors: Gerald Mongeau, Phillipe Bergeron, James J. Clark, Ronald W. Charlton, Mahmound Eino, Terrence J. Maurice, Estelle M. Parnell-Clunies, Wen-Song Cheng
