Patent number: 10918923Abstract: A tossing game includes placing two floating goals spaced apart in a body of water, each goal defining a scoring region. The participants add an amount of water to cups and toss the cups in the direction of one of the goals for at least two turns, with the participants awarded points in response to the cups being tossed into the scoring region. Each filling of the cup during a participant's turn adds variability to the game, challenging the participants to determine a suitable amount of water to be placed in the cup for their own throwing technique as well as to repeatedly add approximately the same amount of water on subsequent turns once the participants have determined the fill level that best suits them.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2020Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: MUSSER'S INC.Inventors: Brent Musser, Brian Musser, Michael Robert Musser, Michael John Musser

Publication number: 20140147548Abstract: Milk replacers include a fat component in which least about 10 percent of the total fat content is formed of medium chain triglycerides. Young animals consuming the milk replacer ingest the medium chain triglycerides at a rate of at least about 13.5 grams per head per day and exhibit improved animal performance. The milk replacers with the modified fatty acid profiles may include a reduced level of fat and protein compared to traditional milk replacers without negatively affecting performance of young animals, and may even enhance performance of the young animals. These milk replacers may be produced by adding the medium chain triglycerides during milk replacer formulation, and at least about 9 grams of medium chain triglycerides are provided per pound of milk replacer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2012Publication date: May 29, 2014Applicant: PURINA ANIMAL NUTRITION LLCInventors: Bill L. Miller, Robert Musser, Madhu Kakade

Publication number: 20070264313Abstract: The present invention relates to an animal dietary composition including a dietary acid and further to methods of feeding an animal that include providing a dietary acid as part of the animal's diet, resulting in enhanced feed efficiency and weight gain. According to one embodiment, the present invention further relates to limiting the animal's diet.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2006Publication date: November 15, 2007Inventors: Robert Musser, Giancarlo Casale

Publication number: 20070105190Abstract: A process for hydrolyzing products with enzymatic activity remaining in peptone solutions after mucosa hydrolysis is provided along with a process for preserving mucosa tissue. Broadly, the processes are carried out by hydrolyzing mucosa tissue according to conventional heparin manufacturing processes wherein an excess quantity of proteolytic enzymes is used. The resulting peptone solution is then contacted with proteins or protein-containing materials in order to hydrolyze the proteins. In another embodiment, mucosa tissue is preserved by mixing it with a preserving agent selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide and phosphoric acid. The product preserved by hydrogen peroxide is low in ash, stable for at least a week, and has a reduced odor.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2006Publication date: May 10, 2007Inventors: John Lee, Joseph Hahn, Robert Musser
