Patent number: 8790699Abstract: Foam-formed collagen strands and methods for forming strands involve depositing a dispersed solution of an isolated cleaned, de-fatted, enzymatically-treated (or non-enzyme treated) human-derived collagen product having a preserved amount of its natural constituents into grooves of a grooved plate, and processing the dispersed collagen product to provide a foam-formed collagen strand. Foam-formed collagen strands may be processed into threads having a matrix of reticulated pores to conduct biological materials in and through the strand, the collagen of the collagen strand comprising isolated, enzymatically-treated human derived collagen having a preserved amount of its natural collagen constituents.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2010Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Warsaw Orthpedic, Inc.Inventors: Nels Lauritzen, Lawrence A.

Publication number: 20140067745Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer program products are provided for providing targeted recommendations of agricultural inputs based on a given localized usage context. Methods are provided that include receiving one or more indications of the localized usage context, determining one or more suggested agricultural inputs based on the usage context, and causing the one or more suggested agricultural inputs to be provided. In the context of a further method, a plurality of usage scenarios may be presented for selection, each of the usage scenarios being associated with one or more additional indications of the localized usage context. According to an additional method, probabilities of achieving target and minimum acceptable yields may be determined and presented along with the usage scenarios, thereby allowing a user to select one or more usage scenarios in order to receive the input recommendations based thereon.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2013Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Donald Avey, Phillip L. Bax, Wade Alexander Givens, Robert L. Heimbaugh, Steven Brent Mitchell, Jun Wei

Patent number: 8460691Abstract: Fenestrated wound repair scaffolds and methods for forming scaffolds involve dispersing human collagen having a preserved amount of native constituents in solution, depositing the human collagen dispersion in a tray, forming openings in the collagen dispersion and removing the liquid component to form a fenestrated wound repair scaffold. Fenestrated wound repair scaffolds include a network of openings passing linearly through the wound repair scaffold to form channels for cells to pass into so as to form a series of cell formations therein.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2010Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Nels Lauritzen, Lawrence A. Shimp, Brent Mitchell

Patent number: 6434896Abstract: An underground tornado shelter having a double-hull design is constructed through a rotational molding process from any one of a variety of materials, such as linear medium-density polyethylene. The tornado shelter has a dome-shaped upper half and a hemispherical lower half. Each half includes a flange, an inner wall, and an outer wall. The outer wall may include planar wall portions, indentation portions, and rib portions. The tornado shelter can also have an anchoring system that is integral with the lower half of the shelter and is formed through the same rotational molding process used to shape the rest of the lower half. Pipes can be inserted into the pipe alignment grooves in the anchoring system, and secured in place with plates bolted to the anchoring system across pipe alignment grooves.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2000Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: Applied Solar Technology, Inc.Inventor: R.
