Abstract: Disclosed are methods for making a vascularized hollow organ derived from human intestinal organoid (HIOs). The HIOs may be obtained from human embryonic stem cells (ESC's) and/or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), such that the HIO forms mature intestinal tissue. Also disclosed are methods for making a human intestinal tissue containing a functional enteric nervous system (ENS).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for creating secure electronic records using a smart device are disclosed. A smart device is authorized by connecting the device with a secure host computer. The host computer authorizes the smart device for a specified period of time. The user verifies that they are allowed to use the smart device to collect and create secure electronic records. Collecting electronic records then occurs. An encrypted wrapper for each record collected is created by encrypting each record. The smart device is then reconnected to the host computer. The host computer uploads the collected records and clears the device.

Abstract: A system for record keeping in scientific, industrial, and commercial applications where records are used to document inventions and discoveries, such as in a research laboratory is disclosed and described herein. Such systems are referred to in the applicable field as Electronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELNs). Also disclosed is an improvement to ELNs such that a facilitated data integration step is performed in order to create connections and relationships between objects of information. The data integration step allows the researcher to bring together information from various record keeping systems, to include ambient, real-time data provided by voice. The integration is further facilitated by one of more of the following: graphical display, smart pen, data object manipulation; images from lab notebook pages, and a voice recognition capability.
