Abstract: A bio-reactive container and filter assembly to improve flow rates and mass transfer without increased pressure. An inlet filter membrane secured to the container defines a container chamber in combination with the container. An inlet filter membrane element may also be secured to the container to provide structural support to the membrane. An outlet membrane secured to the container defines a container chamber in combination with the container. An outlet filter membrane element may also be secured to the container to provide structural support to the outlet membrane. Inlet and/or outlet filters and/or filter elements are constructed to significantly increase surface area available for fluid and/or gas ingress and/or egress. Single and double layer membranes with mixtures of hydrophobic and hydrophilic characteristics are used to maximize perfusion and gasification/degasification of bio-reactive containers.

Abstract: A method and system for oversampling a waveform with variable oversampling factor is suggested. The method and for dynamic selection of the oversampling factor are based on a modified equivalent time sampling approach. Multiple waveforms are transmitted, which are separated by a variable delay. The method permits that a receiver selects a different oversampling factor for the received waveform. As a result the method and system provide for oversampling a waveform with a variable, dynamically selectable oversampling factor.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a novel polyalkylene glycol based reagent with aldehyde end groups, wherein the preparation of the reagent includes the steps of provide a polyalkylene glycol; provide an aldehyde compound; mix both reagents polyalkylene glycol and aldehyde in 1:2 equivalent; stir the mixture for a certain period of time until a clear solution is obtained, and dilute with water to a desirable concentration.

Abstract: A system and method for accurately and efficiently testing a HEPA filter in a sterile environment, such as a clean room, by creating a closed-loop system. The system includes a multi-port interface including at least a challenge port and a verification port, each port being in communication with an area upstream from the HEPA filter. Through the challenge port, test substances are introduced to a supply air duct that is in communication with a HEPA filter. Through the verification port, a concentration of the test substances can be measured for comparison with a concentration that passed through the HEPA filter, i.e. downstream from the HEPA filter. As such, test substances can be dispersed throughout the air conditioning system before interacting with the HEPA filter, and accurately measured. The closed loop between the ports provides an accurate measurement of the concentration of test substances to test the HEPA filter.
