This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,856,960.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent, 'Separation method of fat and lean using acidic fluid with nanobubbles', has limitations in terms of efficiency and precision. The new invention addresses these limitations by introducing electrochemical nanobubbles and artificial intelligence to the separation process, enabling a more efficient and precise separation of lean meat from lean meat-containing material.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new invention introduces the use of electrochemical nanobubbles and artificial intelligence to the separation process, which is a significant departure from the original patent's method. The integration of these components enables a more efficient, precise, and automated separation process, making the new invention novel and non-obvious.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the invention could include using different types of nanobubbles, such as ultrasound-generated nanobubbles, or integrating the system with other processing steps, such as meat cutting or packaging. Variations could also include using different types of acidic fluids or adjusting the pH levels to optimize the separation process.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The advanced separation system has significant commercial potential in the meat processing industry, enabling companies to produce high-quality lean meat products with increased efficiency and precision. The invention could also be applied to other industries, such as food processing and biotechnology, where precise separation of materials is critical.
