  • Method for making artificial scaffold having porous three-dimensional body comprising cells
    Patent number: 8735117
    Abstract: In on aspect, the invention includes a microcarrier bead having a porous three-dimensional core having (a) a polymeric porous three-dimensional body having porosity of about 15 to about 90% such that at least 99% of pores are interconnected and have diameters of at most 200 microns, (b) an outer protective layer and optionally (c) a filler. In another aspect, the invention includes a method of making an artificial scaffold wherein a scaffolding material is extruded into a coolant and thereby creating a porous material having a porosity of between 15-90% such that at least 99% of pores are interconnected and have diameters of at most 200 microns.

  • System and method for simultaneously encoding data in multiple formats and at different bit rates
    Patent number: 6529146
    Abstract: A system and method for simultaneously and synchronously encoding a data signal in multiple formats and at multiple bit rates. According to one aspect of the invention, plural encoding stations are controlled by one central controller, which controls the encoding format carried out by each encoding station, and also controls the commencement of the encoding process to ensure that each encoding station simultaneously commences the encoding process, thereby synchronizing the encoded streams.
