Patent number: 11994343Abstract: Provided is a multi-part lyophilization container for lyophilizing a fluid, storing the lyophilizate, reconstituting the lyophilizate, and infusing the reconstituted lyophilizate into a patient, including a method of using same. The container includes a front surface, a back surface, a non-breathable section including a port region, a breathable section including a breathable membrane, and a peelable region including a peelable seal encompassing a boundary between the non-breathable section and the breathable section. The method includes inputting a fluid into a non-breathable section of the container, freezing the fluid, applying, in a lyophilization chamber, vacuum pressure, opening the peelable seal using a pressure differential, applying heat energy, sublimating the fluid and creating a temporary occlusion in a peelable region of the container.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Terumo BCT Biotechnologies, LLCInventors: Kestas P.

Patent number: 11992592Abstract: An extremely lightweight and compact heating system greatly increasing patient mobility is provided. The use of a flat plate can be used to greatly decrease package size and weight while providing comparable heat transfer by exploiting the ability of the dialysis bags to conform to this surface and through the greater heating area possible with the flat plate design. A short rim around the plate provides centering and protecting against minor leakage without substantially increasing package height. Protection against leakage is buttressed by sealing the rim to the plate and the use of 12 V only within the heating unit. The result is a lightweight warming device with a short that can be easily transported by the patient greatly improving patient lifestyle and freedom.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Enthermics Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: William J.

Publication number: 20240114838Abstract: A separator for a crop harvester configured to harvest sugarcane. The separator includes an extractor body that defines a chamber, the chamber extending through the extractor body and is in fluid communication with a cavity of a fan housing. The extractor body can generally define an inlet opening of the chamber, the inlet opening positioned to allow chopped billets and crop residue that are outputted from a chopper assembly to enter into the chamber. The inlet opening has a non-round, or non-circular configuration and/or cross sectional shape. Further, the inlet opening can have a width similar to a material flow width of the chopped billets and crop residue being outputted from the chopper assembly. Such a configuration can eliminate dead zones with respect to air flow that is to pull the chopped crop materials into the chamber and/or to separate crop residue from the chopped billets.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Matthew J.

Patent number: 11765216Abstract: A server operates between a patron (user), a subscriber (e.g., owner of a venue of exhibits and its website; museum, stadium, zoo, theme park, etc.), and possibly third parties such as a content distribution network (CDN). Access and content delivery are based on 1) control information provided to a patron device by physical objects at the venue and sent by the patron device to the server as part of a mutual authentication to one another, 2) user-specific information corresponding to the patron device, and 3) a pre-authorization exchange granting user-device access to physical objects and the server with the server receiving access to the user-specific information in order to locate requested information and select a subset thereof adapted in accordance with the user information. Moving physically between exhibits, a patron device rapidly disengages and re-engages the server, based thereon, without repeated logins.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: INCLUSIVE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: Andrea J.
