I am on my 3rd or so batch and wanted to know if there a accepted process to minimize sediment in the bottom of my bottles.
 
Place a sanitized hop bag over your racking cane.

If your talking about the yeast, then it will always be there as long as you bottle. To minimize it you need fridge time to compact the cake and then pour all but the last bit of the bottle
 
You are going to have yeast sediment if you are bottle conditioning.

Are you experiencing more than that? I use a fine strainer before my wort goes into the primary. Most everything else drops out in the next week in the primary. I rack into a secondary for another few weeks prior to bottling. I am bottling zero sediment but the yeast will settle out after consuming the bottling fermentables for carbonation. Not sure there is a way around that unless you filter and keg.
