  • Publication number: 20250051723
    Abstract: A placental collagen matrix (PCM) that can be poured into a customized tray shape and then dehydrated that can be used in the treatment of wounds. Specifically, the PCM has the property of being able to be poured into a variety of shapes, sizes and thickness. The resulting customized graft may be used in the treatment of a variety of wounds. The PCM may or may not be decellularized, and may be made of placental disc, umbilical cord, amnion, chorion, and/or intermediate layer.

  • Publication number: 20230347015
    Abstract: A dehydrated, partially perforated, placental tissue allograft that can be used in the treatment of wounds. Specifically, the dehydrated, partially perforated placental allograft has the property of being able to be cleaned during processing without disrupting the grafts structural integrity or decreasing the concentration of growth factors found within the finished graft. The dehydrated, partially perforated, placental tissue allograft is reconstituted prior to applying it to the subject and is substantially free of undesirable maternal blood contaminants.

  • Publication number: 20220133955
    Abstract: A meshed, dehydrated, placental tissue allograft that can be used in the treatment of wounds. Specifically, the meshed allograft has the property of being able to be expanded to cover an irregularly shaped wound, therefore reducing the need to apply multiple, uniform sized grafts to a single wound site. The meshed, dehydrated placental tissue allograft is sourced from a human donor, and is then processed to remove any potential contaminants or microbes prior to applying a specific mesh pattern to the tissue. The meshed, dehydrated, placental tissue graft is reconstituted prior to applying to the subject, and can then be configured to optimally cover the shape of the wound site.

  • Publication number: 20170183967
    Abstract: A modular controlling system for controlling and/or interfacing sophisticated power, communication, monitoring, lighting, ventilation and/or other services systems in complex environments such as underground mines, pharmaceutical laboratories and production facilities and nuclear plants comprises a main processing unit, several communication interface units, several equipment interface units, and a user interface unit. The modular controlling system is configured to be installed in a complex environment such as an underground mine and connected to various mining equipment, including ventilation equipment and environmental sensors. The modular controlling system is generally preprogrammed and preconfigured with all the necessary operating programs, control algorithms and equipment drivers such as to required minimal customization upon installation.

  • Publication number: 20100105308
    Abstract: The optimized mine ventilation system of this invention supplements mine ventilation basic control systems composed of PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers with human machine interfaces from vendors such as Allen-Bradley™, Modicon™ and others) or DCSs (Distributed Control System from vendors such as ABB™ and others) with supervisory control establishing a dynamic ventilation demand as a function of real-time tracking of machinery and/or personnel location and where this demand is optimally distributed in the work zones via the mine ventilation network and where the energy required to ventilate is minimized while totally satisfying the demand for each work zones. The optimized mine ventilation system operates on the basis of a predictive dynamic simulation model of the mine ventilation network along with emulated control equipment such as fans and air flow regulators.
