Abstract: The present set of embodiments relate to a system, method, and apparatus for culturing cells within a cell culture vessel having a mixing element. The cell culture system includes a flexible portion and a mixing element disposed therein. The mixing element includes a suspended foldable portion. The system is configured to reduce shear stress on cells without compromising mixing efficiency. This reduction is accomplished by using a mixing element having a large surface area allowing for reduced rotational speeds. The system is collapsible for ease of transport and disposal. The flexible portion collapses and the foldable portion folds to minimize the volume of the system while not in operation.

Abstract: The present set of embodiments relate to a system, method, and apparatus for separating cells from a suspension using a gravity driven cell separation device. The apparatus may include a chamber that is separated into a gas compartment and a liquid compartment allowing for transfer of gas through a membrane into the liquid compartment where the cell suspension flows during operation. The embodiments are designed to maximize the gravitational separation effect on the suspension while mitigating the loss of surface area through which gas transfer can occur through a membrane to provide nutrients to cells in the suspension by tilting the cell separation device on two or more axes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for determining of at least one end position of a displacement element of an adjustable hydraulic machine, in particular of the axial piston type, shiftable or displaceable between two ends position a by means of a displacement unit between a first end position and a second end position. According to the invention the determination of having reached an end position of displacement takes place by means of a measurement circuit, whose electrical characteristics are changed jumpily when an end position is reached. This is done by connecting a partial branch of the measuring circuit with earth, when a moveable element comes into electric contact with a limit stop assigned to the corresponding end position.
