Abstract: Methods and systems for physically separating helper embryos from desired embryos in a group culturing technique in order to maintain the pedigree and genetic information of the desired embryos from different species, including cattle and human, and to provide the developmental benefits of group culturing. The separation of the groups of embryos can be the result of embedding one group of embryos in a gel or solid, or the groups can be physically separated by a membrane or other structure.

Abstract: A method and system for sorting sperm samples according to different levels of DNA fragmentation and methods of using populations with low levels of DNA fragmentation to improve fertility and success rates of assisted reproductive procedures, including artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic injection, and other related techniques.

Abstract: The invention relates to a portable personal cryogenic container for carrying materials at low temperatures, and more particularly for carrying cryogenically preserved materials. The cryogenic container can be formed from an external shell assembly having multiple parts, where the parts are interlocked to support an inner container. An elongate receptacle holding preserved materials may be supported in the inner container alongside cryogenic fluids for maintaining cryopreserved materials.

Abstract: Generally, polymeric members and laser marking methods for producing visible marks on polymeric members, such as on thin and/or curved surfaces. The laser marking methods can include methods of laser marking straws with the step of matching laser source properties to the properties of straws being marked or with the step of laser marking straws having photochromic dyes.

Abstract: Water distribution systems and methods for continuously supplying drinking water to one or more shipping containers holding livestock throughout the duration of a shipment.

Abstract: Methods for facilitating the shipment of specialized shipping containers for livestock on shipping vessels over extended periods, including methods of loading livestock onto specialized shipping containers and methods for arranging such shipments of livestock.

Abstract: Shipping containers and systems for transporting livestock on shipping vessels over extended periods including features for water distribution, feed distribution, temperature control, air movement, and waste management and partitions for separating livestock from feed throughout shipment.

Abstract: Methods for transporting livestock and livestock feed in shipping containers and for separating the shipping containers into a livestock storage areas and feed storage areas for the measured distribution of feed throughout shipment.

Abstract: An array of shipping containers and systems for transporting livestock on shipping vessels over extended periods including systems for distributing drinking water and electricity from common resources to an array of shipping containers, where the array of shipping containers can include interconnected shipping containers and/or stacked shipping containers carrying livestock.

Abstract: A method of producing shipping containers for transporting livestock on shipping vessels over extended periods including methods of modifying shipping containers to include water distribution, feed distribution, temperature control, air movement, and waste management features.

Abstract: A telescoping cryocane having a first container element and a second container element, for suspending smaller containers upright within a cryogenic container. The first container element and the second container element can be in a slidable telescoping relationship. One or more of the first and the second container elements can be configured for suspending and retaining the smaller containers at very low temperatures.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a solid pharmaceutical composition containing candesartan cilexetil as active ingredient and a stabilizing agent selected from the group consisting of esters of saturated fatty acids and monohydroxy alcohols, esters of hydroxycarboxylic acids and monohydroxy alcohols, ethers of C1-C4 monohydroxy alcohols and C2-C9 polyhydroxy alcohols, saturated fatty acid alkaline salts, panthenol, and/or mixtures thereof. The invention also relates to a process for its preparation and its use for formulation of oral solid dosage forms of candesartan cilexetil. The active substance in the compositions comprising the stabilizing agent exhibits good stability over time.

Abstract: Aqueous compositions containing ciprofloxacine and corresponding use and process, said composition comprising from 0.12-0.6 g/ml of chlorohydrate monohydrate of ciprofloxacine (equivalent to 0.1-0.5% of free base); 0.5-3.0 g/ml of a buffer system capable of maintaining the pH between 4 and 5; 0.05-0.3 g/ml of a non ionic surface-active agent; from 0.5-2.0 g/ml of a thickening agent; and the rest to 100 ml of water.
