  • METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR POSITIONING AND MAINTAINING THE POSITION OF ENDOSCOPIC INSTRUMENTS
    Publication number: 20160256217
    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for, and a method of, accurate positioning of endoscopic instruments. Accurate positioning of the instruments is accomplished through the inclusion of a steering ability within the device. After the endoscopic instrument is properly positioned, the present invention may use rapid exchange technology, soft locks, and mechanical locks to maintain the position of the endoscopic instrument. Rapid exchange technology is used to minimize displacement forces present on the guidewire or catheters. Soft locks and mechanical locks resist movements caused by displacement forces.

  • Method of acidulating a comminuted meat product
    Patent number: 4803092
    Abstract: The present invention provides an acidulant and a method of acidulating moist meat and meat emulsions at meat processing temperatures in the range of about 32.degree. F. to 135.degree. F. The method comprises mixing a coated acidulant into the meat or meat emulsion, the acidulant having a coating effectively encapsulating the acidulant. The coating comprises a mixture of about 50-70 wt. % of a water-soluble glyceride and about 30-50 wt. % of a hydrogenated vegetable oil.
