It's not the glue that is novel in this application, but the use of a poloxamer gel to keep the vessel shape while attaching the ends.

Imagine trying to glue together the open ends of two tube socks. It would be time consuming to line up the ends and not glue the other side together, etc. This technique is like putting a solid round canister inside the junction of the two tubes, making it very quick to line up the edges and glue them together.

In this case the canister is a cylinder of poloxamer gel that is solid when warmed above body temperature. After the connection is glued, the gel cools and liquifies, leaving a perfectly glued joint.

From the video: "Once the research is complete and it's put on the market we'll probably be able to price it at roughly the same level as normal meat." Hmm, should I buy the ribeye or the extruded soy-supplemented feces meat? At the same price, the choice is so difficult....

This was exactly my thought... "Hmm, we would have never thought of changing the account number. That must be some dark haX0rs voodoo magic."

This.

As long as Apple simply patents "evil" ideas, it seems like a win for me. This means that no other company can implement these ideas without paying licensing fees, which means that I will see less of these obnoxious schemes in products. In fact, the fact that Apple patented this idea, means that any iphone app I buy should be guaranteed not to do this, unless Apple produces it.

So until these ideas actually end up in a product, I won't be complaining.
