Patent number: 11913023Abstract: The present invention relates to genetically modified B cells and their uses thereof, for example, for the treatment of a variety of diseases and disorders, including cancer, heart disease, inflammatory disease, muscle wasting disease, neurological disease, and the like. In certain embodiments, the invention relates to an isolated modified B cell (“CAR-B cell), capable of expressing a chimeric receptor (“CAR-B receptor”), wherein said chimeric receptor comprises (a) an extracellular domain; (b) a transmembrane domain; and (c) a cytoplasmic domain that comprises at least one signaling domain. In various embodiments, the invention comprises an isolated modified B cell, wherein said B cell is capable of expressing and secreting a payload, wherein the payload is not naturally expressed in a B cell or is expressed at higher levels than is naturally expressed in a B cell. In various embodiments, the payload is an antibody or fragment thereof.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Walking Fish Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: Kathleen Boyle, Hangil Park, Srinivas Kothakota, Mark Selby, Thomas Brennan, Lewis T.

Patent number: 9856668Abstract: A device to convert an existing pool skimmer assembly into a pressurizable pool skimmer assembly, thereby allowing the existing pool skimmer assembly to act with this existing pool pump in emergency situations, such as assisting firefighters with pool water for extinguishing local wildfires or house fires. A removable plug cap and o-rings enables the pool pump to draw the pool water from the pool main drain using the existing pool skimmer. This device can also be used to drain the pool for cleaning the pool or for winterizing the pool, without requiring an electrical sump pump.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2015Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Inventor: Mark Parks

Patent number: 8337477Abstract: An extra-labia urine voiding apparatus including a container sized and shaped to externally cover a vulval region of a female anatomy. The container has an open side and defines a reservoir that is adapted for receiving urine. The container also includes a substantially planar surface disposed at a top of the container adapted to face and generally surround a periphery of the vulval region. An extra-labia sealing structure is affixed to the planar surface of the top of the container. The sealing structure includes a pressure sensitive adhesive adapted to provide a generally fluid tight primary adhesive seal between the container and external tissue generally surrounding the vulval region. A blocking mechanism connected proximate the top of the container prevents escape of urine from the voiding apparatus and contact of urine with the vulval region of the female anatomy.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2003Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: FemMed, Inc.Inventors: Mark Parks, James C.
