Brian FETH has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240002774
    Abstract: Embodiments of a cell culture incubator system provided herein have two or more individual incubators and atmospheric regulation system configured to regulate atmospheric conditions within the environmental chamber of each individual incubator. The atmospheric regulation system has a single integrated controller system that controls atmospheric regulation of each of the individual incubators independently of the one or more other individual incubators. Atmospheric conditions within each of the individual incubators include at least the oxygen level and the total gas pressure, which are regulated independently of each other.

  • Patent number: 11814647
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method of modulating a potency level phenotype of a source population of cells include culturing the source cell population in a liquid medium within a cell culture incubator, the incubator is configured to independently regulate one or more variable parameters of gaseous conditions within the incubator, the more than one variable atmospheric parameters within the incubator being regulated independently of each other and independently of ambient external gaseous conditions. The method further includes regulating the one or more variable parameters of the gaseous condition within the incubator such that at least one of the one or more variable parameter differs from an ambient level of the respective variable parameter, and as a consequence of such difference from ambient conditions, the subset population is driven from a first potency level phenotype to a second potency level phenotype.

  • Publication number: 20230212500
    Abstract: Embodiments of the provided technology relate to a gas flow and liquid flow regulation system within a cell culture instrument. Embodiments of the gas and liquid flow regulation system include a pressurizable gas-mixing chamber, a cell culture compartment that includes a cell culture vessel having and a gas space, and a gas flow system. The gas flow system is driven by gas pressure, and is adaptable to provide an atmospheric condition of hypoxia and hyperbaric pressure within the cell culture compartment. The liquid flow regulation system is driven by hydraulic pressure.

  • Publication number: 20220213439
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of modulating a phenotype a source population of cells to assume a desired phenotype. The method includes culturing the source cell population within an incubator configured to regulate the variable atmospheric parameters of oxygen level and total atmospheric pressure level.
