Abstract: A container preferably made of a copper tube can be placed on a barbeque grill. Adjustable sized holes on top allow the chef to adjust how much vapor escapes from the container during a cooking cycle. For washing the copper tube can be broken down in half for insertion into a dishwasher. The cylindrical hollow tube can have a smooth circular cross section or equivalents including octagon, hexagon and rectangular. Equivalents to the cylindrical tube being pulled apart for cleaning include a hinge relationship between two tube segments.

Abstract: The present invention provides a perfusion solution comprising specific metabolic agents, antioxidant agents, and membrane stabilizer agents that can help improve preservation, organ viability, and in some cases recover organs that would otherwise being unusable for transplantation. In a further embodiment, the perfusion solution can be used in combination with hypothermic machine perfusion. It has been found that combination of the perfusion solution and hypothermic machine perfusion can help prevent or reduce further damage to the organ and restore the organ's anti-oxidant system, stabilize the cellular cytoskeleton and cellular membranes, inhibit arachidonic acid pathway, provide oncotic support, reduce interstitial edema formation, and help restore energy stores within the organ. As a result, the method can be used to improve the viability of otherwise marginal donor organs.

Abstract: An air filtration and purification system for the interior of a closed vehicle, including an outside air intake and an inside air intake, both the intakes empty into a common plenum located interior of the vehicle, an air passageway defined by an inlet, in fluid communication with the plenum, and an outlet spaced-apart therefrom for removing the air in the plenum, a plurality of purifying air filters arranged in series in the passageway, a first air movement device interposed the plenum and said passageway inlet to create a flow of air from the plenum to the filters, a second air movement device in the outlet of the passageway to draw said flow of air across the filters, and a vent device in fluid communication with the second air movement device for distributing the filtered air from the second air movement device into the vehicle.
