Publication number: 20230087527Abstract: Disclosed are methods, materials and devices for approximation of blood volume in a fluid, such as in a biological fluid collected during a surgical procedure. In particular applications, methods of estimating blood loss from a subject are provided. The method and devices may include a RBC flocculant, such as polyDADMAC, and provide for an approximate blood hematocrit for a selected type of animal, as well as provide for a calculated RBC packing ratio corresponding to the collection device receiving the fluid. Also provided is a Blood Indicator Panel (BIP), comprising a series of markings calculated from an observed red blood cell sedimentation volume, the average animal type hematocrit, and a calculated RBC packing ratio “?” value for the collection device. Pediatric (about 200 ml or 250 ml size container), adult human (about 1,000 ml-1,500 ml) and veterinary (about 500 ml-2,500 ml) collection containers are also disclosed, that may include a RBC flocculant, for use in approximating blood volume in a fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Christopher A.

Patent number: 11573983Abstract: Provided is a method, computer program product, and system for classifying a set of data items based on format organizations. A processor may determine at least one format organization of a set of data items. The format organization of a data item indicates a symbol type of at least one continuous symbol in the data item and a number of the at least one continuous symbol. The processor may determine at least one candidate data class for the set of data items from a plurality of predetermined data classes based on the at least one format organization. The processor may classify the set of data items into at least one target data class selected from the at least one candidate data class. In this way, the set of data items can be efficiently classified.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Liang Lu, Yue Wang, Sun Chun Hua, Jian Ling Shi, Yi Yang Ren, Chun Leng

Publication number: 20230012496Abstract: Described herein is a beads-free bioprocessor as an automated and cost-effective T cell processing and manufacturing platform. T cells are a core component in CAR T cell therapies for cancer treatment, but are difficult to manufacture to scale in clinically relevant quantities. The 3D bioprocessor provides an alternative device that is scalable, beads-free, easy-to-use, and cost-effective for using CAR T cell therapy in cancer immunotherapy. Besides CAR T cell application, this platform technology has potential for many other applications such as cancer cell isolation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Jian Ling, Kreg A.
