  • NON-UNIFORM LOADING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES
    Publication number: 20220031487
    Abstract: A system includes an inflow loading assembly configured to compress an inflow portion of the implantable medical device as the implantable medical device is advanced through the inflow loading assembly. The system also includes an outflow loading assembly removably coupled to the inflow loading assembly. The outflow loading assembly is configured to partially compress an outflow portion of the implantable medical device during coupling to the inflow loading assembly. The inflow loading assembly includes one or more biasing features that are configured to asymmetrically compress the inflow portion of the implantable medical device.

  • High efficiency process and high protein feed co-product
    Patent number: 9476068
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing a feed co-product by ethanol fermentation of plant matter comprising starch and another polysaccharide selected from the group consisting of hemicellulose and cellulose. The process comprises: (i) carrying out a primary fermentation process, distilling the primary fermentation mixture to form a primary feed co-product derived from the fermentation of the primary fermentation mixture and a primary distillate product comprising ethanol and (ii) carrying out a secondary fermentation process and distilling the secondary fermentation mixture to form the modified feed co-product and a secondary distillate product comprising ethanol.
