Abstract: A DC power plant generating DC power from a variety of engines including a Stirling cycle engine. The DC power plant includes a relatively small start-up power source that is discontinued after the engine is running. A method for producing DC power for a load including starting up an engine using power supplied by a relatively small power supply supplemented by a capacitor bank, providing output from the engine to a generator, producing alternating current (AC) power by the generator, converting the AC power to direct current (DC) power, disabling output of the DC power during a first set of pre-selected conditions, limiting a rate of change of current of the DC power during a second set of pre-selected conditions, reducing conducted and radiated emissions of the DC power, disconnecting the DC power from the load under a third set of pre-selected conditions, and providing the DC power to the load.

Abstract: System and method for providing biocompatible, nutrient filled media to the Human Cells, Tissues, and cellular and tissue-based Products (HCT/P) while removing wastes. The present teachings provide for sensing the characteristics of the media, and modifying the characteristics when necessary. The present teachings can also provide components that can provide fluid pumping integrated with fluid gas exchange, and sensing of fluid characteristics at consistent times during the fluid flow cycle. System and method control multiple bioreactors from a centralized media reservoir, while fluidically isolating the bioreactors from cross-contamination.
