  • Acoustic bioreactor processes
    Patent number: 10689609
    Abstract: A series of multi-dimensional acoustic standing waves is set up inside a growth volume of a bioreactor. The acoustic standing waves are used to hold a cell culture in place as a nutrient fluid stream flows through the cell culture. The nutrient fluid stream dislodges some cells from the cell culture, which can then be recovered for cell therapy applications. The cell culture continues to expand and reproduce, permitting continuous recovery of cells from the bioreactor.
    Type: Grant

  • Visual teaching device
    Patent number: 4222180
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device conformed as a cylindrical structure having a bore axially bending partly therethrough, the end surface around the bore being coated with a phosphorescent coating and the bore surfaces being coated with black paint. By virtue of these coatings and the relative reflection coefficient thereof, a substantially true visual impression is created duplicating the appearance of a black hole in space. Thus the device may be used as a teaching aid assisting the user in the visualization of a complex physical phenomenon.
