Abstract: Moisture is retained in cooked or thawed food by adding to the food an aqueous suspension of animal muscle protein obtained from animal muscle tissue. The aqueous suspension is obtained by mixing comminuted animal muscle tissue with a food grade acid to form an aqueous acidic solution of animal muscle protein. The acidic solution is mixed with a food grade base to precipitate the protein in an aqueous composition. The precipitated protein then is comminuted to form an aqueous suspension of comminuted animal muscle protein.

Abstract: A product for cooking a food in oil and/or fat is provided. An adjusted pH protein suspension is produced in an aqueous or dry form and includes myofibrillar proteins and sarcoplasmic proteins substantially free of myofibrils and sarcomeres. The amount of oil and/or fat absorbed by the food during cooking is substantially reduced while the food retains its color and taste.

Abstract: Flame retardant polymer compositions comprising certain polymers, a flame retardant material obtained by heating certain phosphonic acid salts at temperatures over 200° C. and certain clays or metal compounds such as select metal borates, oxides, hydroxides, oxide hydroxides etc., are readily processed at elevated temperatures and under high stress conditions whereas similar compositions without the clays or metal compounds of the invention are prone to decomposition. For example, polyamide compositions comprising the flame retardant material obtained by heating certain phosphonic acid salts at temperatures over 200° C., hydrotalcite clays, and/or borates, oxides, hydroxides, oxide hydroxides of zinc or calcium, are highly stable to thermal processing under strenuous conditions such as high temperature extrusion.

Abstract: A vehicle is provided including an electronic power steering system, an electronic throttle control system, and a stability control system.

Abstract: A protein fraction and an oxidation stable fat fraction are recovered from meat trimmings. The trimmings are comminuted, mixed with a food grade acid at pH 3.6 to 4.4 to form a liquid protein fraction and a solid fat fraction. The liquid fraction is mixed with a food grade alkali to precipitate the protein . A myoglobin rich fraction is recovered from the protein fraction and mixed with the precipitated protein.

Abstract: A flame-retardant resin composition comprises a base resin (A), such as a polyamide resin, and an aromatic organophosphorus oligomer or polymer.

Abstract: A process for cooking a food in oil and/or fat is provided. A dry pea protein mixture or an aqueous pea protein is added to a food prior to cooking. The amount of oil and/or fat absorbed by the food during cooking is substantially reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to all terrain vehicles having at least a pair of laterally spaced apart seating surfaces.

Abstract: Certain phosphonic acid salts heated at temperatures over 200° C. generate thermally stable, highly efficient flame retardant materials well suited for use as flame retardant additives in polymers. Various methods for preparing flame retardant materials from more than one phosphonic acid salts are provided, wherein each method can generate different flame retardant materials from the same mixture of starting phosphonic acids. The flame retardants of the invention can be used as the sole flame retardant in a composition or in combination with other flame retardants, synergists or adjuvants.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing online access to patient healthcare information. The method includes receiving patient healthcare information electronically for each of a plurality of patients from a plurality of healthcare providers and from a plurality of healthcare payers, wherein said healthcare information includes clinical data and financial information relating to a healthcare event in which a patient received healthcare treatment for a condition; providing a platform which is accessible online and which is equipped with a graphical user interface (GUI) in which (a) the healthcare events associated with each of the plurality of patients are arranged along a timeline, and (b) the healthcare information received for that patient is linked to the healthcare event to which it corresponds; and providing online access to the platform to each of the plurality of patients.

Abstract: Example electrical component assemblies are described. In some examples, the electrical component assembly may include a printed board and an electrical component on the printed board, the electrical component defining a first surface adjacent the printed board and one or more second surfaces other than the first surface. The assembly may also include a thermal bridge comprising a plurality of vias extending through the thermal bridge, and a thermally conductive member interposed between the one or more second surfaces of the electrical component and the thermal bridge. In some examples, the thermally conductive member extends at least partially through the plurality of vias of the thermal bridge. During operation of the electrical component, the assembly configuration may facilitate thermal transfer from a first direction defined by the thermally conductive member to a second direction defined by the thermal bridge to transfer thermal energy away from a surface of the electrical component.
