  • Publication number: 20230381391
    Abstract: The invention concerns biocompatible polymer systems comprising at least one polymer sorbent with a plurality of pores, said polymer designed to adsorb pathogen-associated molecular pattern molecules and damage-associated molecular pattern molecules. Also disclosed herein are methods for reducing contamination in a biological substance, or treating contamination in a subject, by one or more pathogen-associated molecular pattern molecules and damage-associated molecular pattern molecules, by contacting the biological substance with an effective amount of sorbent capable of sorbing the toxin.

  • Patent number: 11772582
    Abstract: A routing assembly for routing an electrical connection between two or more sub-systems in a work machine includes a hose, a coupling member, a wiring harness, and a grommet. The hose defines a conduit. The coupling member defines a through-bore fluidly coupled with the conduit. The wiring harness facilitates passage of one or more electrical wirings through each of the conduit and the through-bore to enable electrical communication between the two or more sub-systems. The grommet is retentively engaged with the coupling member and the wiring harness respectively with a first force and a second force. The first force is greater than the second force facilitating a movement of the wiring harness with respect to the grommet without disengaging the grommet from the coupling member.
