Patent number: 10829725Abstract: Disclosed herein are bioreactors that include a container for holding fluid aligned on a vertical axis, wherein at least a portion of the container is oriented at an angle relative to the vertical axis, wherein the angle is from about 0° to 90°. In some embodiments, the container is placed on a support structure with portions of the container oriented at alternating angles. The system is essentially closed except for at least one opening (for example an opening at the bottom edge) that allows for the introduction of gases and/or nutrients. The gas and/or nutrients are introduced in such a way as to provide mixing and aeration of a cell culture in the bioreactor. Also disclosed are methods of culturing cells (such as microalgae, macroalgae, bacteria, fungi, insect cells, plant cells, animal cells, or plant or animal tissue or organs) using a bioreactor described herein.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: The Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of The University of ArizonaInventors: Joel L. Cuello, Sara S. Kuwahara, Takanori Hoshino, Cody L. Brown

Patent number: 10604732Abstract: Disclosed herein are bioreactors that include a vessel with sides and a bottom, at least one opening in the vessel connected to a means for introducing a gas, and at least one scaffold in the vessel oriented substantially vertically in the vessel. The scaffolds are two substantially parallel sheets that are separated by a distance (dmin). Also disclosed herein are bioreactors that include a vessel with sides and a bottom, at least one opening in the vessel connected to a means for introducing a gas, and at least two scaffolds in the vessel oriented substantially vertically in the vessel. The disclosure also includes methods of culturing cells including incubating a suspension of cells in a disclosed bioreactor and introducing a gas through the at least one opening in the vessel. In some examples, the cells include microalgae, macroalgae, bacteria, fungi, insect cells, plant cells, or animal cells.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2015Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignees: Arizona Board of Regents on Behalf of the University of Arizona, Biopharmia ASInventors: Joel L.

Patent number: 9884508Abstract: A writing instrument includes: a writing instrument body and an ink cartridge. The ink cartridge includes a bottomed cylindrical container with an opened front end and a plug fitted into an inner circumferential surface of an opening of the container. The writing instrument body includes a projection that opens the ink cartridge when inserted into the opening to press the plug rearward and an air tight connecting portion, formed separately from the projection, that surrounds the projection. The opening is divided into a plurality of openings by air tight fitting the opening in the air tight connecting portion. A plurality of longitudinal channels are formed on an outer periphery of the projection. At least one of the plurality of channels serves as an ink channel and at least one of the other channels serves as an air intake path.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2014Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Pilot CorporationInventor: Takanori Hoshino
