The methods may be performed in a chill tank or other reservoir and utilize hypobromous acid from either aqueous hydrogen bromide or aqueous sodium bromide and a source of hypochlorite. The methods comprise contacting a poultry carcass with the hypobromous acid-containing water at a pH of about 6.5 to about 10. The methods result in an increase in the weight of the processed poultry products. | 11-01-2012 |
| 20140011875 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR THE GENERATION OF PERACETIC ACID ON SITE AT THE POINT-OF-USE - Methods and compositions for the generation of a peroxyacetic acid sanitizer in proximity to the point-of-use are disclosed. These methods comprise introducing a hydrogen peroxide-acetyl precursor solution to water, mixing, and then adding an aqueous source of a alkali metal or earth alkali metal hydroxide. Triacetin is a preferred acetyl precursor and is converted rapidly and with a high conversion rate into peracetic acid. These methods produce solutions with a high level of peracetic acid. Methods for preparing the hydrogen peroxide-acetyl precursor solution are also provided. Also disclosed are solid compositions comprising a liquid acetyl precursor, a water-soluble source of hydrogen peroxide, and a water-soluble source of alkalinity. The solid composition is a freely-flowable solid that is used as a bleaching agent and a stain remover for the treatment of articles such as fabrics, dentures, textile garments, and equipment used in the food and beverage industry. | 01-09-2014 |

| 20150208652 | Methods and Compositions for the Generation of Peracetic Acid On Site at the Point-of-Use - Methods for the generation of non-equilibrium solutions of peroxyacetic acid are disclosed. These methods comprise introducing triacetin sad aqueous hydrogen peroxide to water, mixing, and then adding an aqueous source of an alkali metal or earth alkali metal hydroxide. Triacetin is converted rapidly and with a high conversion rate into peracetic acid. These methods produce solutions with a high level of peracetic acid. | 07-30-2015 |

| 20100229108 | Computational Delivery System for Avatar and Background Game Content - Data defining an avatar is received, over a network. The data defining the avatar is stored to a computer readable medium. A sprite sheet comprising a plurality of sprites is created, using at least one computing device, using the data defining the avatar. Each sprite comprises a partial rendering of the respective avatar and at least one run-time parameter comprising a sprite attribute. A plurality of requests are received, over the network, for the avatar from a plurality of user applications. The data defining the avatar and the sprite sheet are transmitted, over the network, to each of the requesting games, whereby each respective user application is enabled to display the sprites in the sprite sheet. The user application is enabled to set the run-time parameter associated with each of the sprites in the sprite sheet such that each respective sprite is thereby customized to the application. | 09-09-2010 |
