Abstract: Disclosed are compositions comprising umbilical tissue, wherein the umbilical tissue comprises one or more engineered channels. Also disclosed are compositions comprising a previously cryopreserved umbilical tissue, wherein after cryopreservation and subsequent thawing the umbilical tissue comprises: a) viable cells native to the umbilical tissue; b) tissue integrity of native umbilical tissue; c) one or more growth factors that are native to the umbilical tissue; and d) depleted amounts of one or more types of functional immunogenic cells. Disclosed are methods of producing compositions comprising umbilical tissue, wherein the umbilical tissue comprises one or more engineered channels. Also disclosed are methods of treating damaged tissue comprising administering to the site of the damaged tissue compositions comprising umbilical tissue, wherein the umbilical tissue comprises one or more engineered channels.

Abstract: A method for measuring a lower heating value of a gaseous fuel. The method includes mixing a gaseous fuel with air to provide a combustible air-fuel mixture. The air-fuel mixture is directed to flow across a flow surface of a first micro-hotplate maintained at a constant temperature. A change in power required to maintain a constant temperature of the first micro-hotplate flow surface due to a convective and conductive heat transfer from the first micro-hotplate flow surface to the air-fuel mixture is measured. The air-fuel mixture is directed to flow across a flow surface of a second micro-hotplate maintained at a constant temperature. The air-fuel mixture is combusted as the air-fuel mixture flows across the second micro-hotplate flow surface. A change in power required to maintain a constant temperature of the second micro-hotplate flow surface due to the combustion of the air-fuel mixture is measured.
