  • Publication number: 20230416344
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to, inter alia, a method of treating a complement mediated disorder caused by a virus, e.g., corona virus; Dengue virus (DENY); Ross River vims (RRV) and/or influenza virus (flu) by administering an effective amount of a complement modulator, such as, e.g., C5 inhibitor, such as eculizumab or an eculizumab variant or a C5a inhibitor such as olendalizumab (ALXN1007) or a variant thereof, to the subject. In addition, the present disclosure relates to, inter alia, a method of treating human patients inflicted with severe coronavirus disease-2019 (severe COVID-19) who is undergoing treatment with eculizumab. The method includes measuring a level of circulating component C5b-9 (membrane attack complex), in the patient's blood sample to titrate an effective eculizumab dose for the treatment of COVID-19.

  • Patent number: 8586148
    Abstract: An electrospinning method includes providing a nozzle fluidically coupled to a source of polymer ink and providing a substrate adjacent to the nozzle. A first voltage is applied to the nozzle to initiate electrospinning of the polymer ink onto the substrate, wherein the first voltage is within the range of about 400V to about 1000V. The voltage is then reduced to a second, lower voltage wherein the voltage is within the range of about 600V to about 150V.

  • Patent number: 8561882
    Abstract: A method and system for generating and processing barcoded documents such that a safety net may be implemented to catch barcode errors. Barcodes may be generated for placement on the first and last page of documents. Each barcode may be associated with a document. During processing of barcoded documents, if a barcode is missing or misread, the safety net will catch the error and mark the affected pages for further review.

  • Patent number: 7911146
    Abstract: Gas flows of modest velocities are generated when an organized ion flux in an electric field initiates an ion-driven wind of neutral molecules. When a needle in ambient air is electrically charged to a potential sufficient to produce a corona discharge near its tip, such a gas flow can be utilized downstream of a ring-shaped or other permeable earthed electrode. In view of the potential practical applications of such devices, as they represent blowers with no moving parts, a methodology for increasing their flow velocities includes exploitation of the divergence of electric field lines, avoidance of regions of high curvature on the second electrode, control of atmospheric humidity, and the use of linear arrays of stages, terminating in a converging nozzle. The design becomes particularly advantageous when implemented in mesoscale domains.
