Patent number: 11155777Abstract: Described herein are bioreactor support structures configured to be used with containers having different designs, and methods for making and using such bioreactors. The support structures described herein may include two or more agitator motors and control systems or an adjustable-position agitator motor, a removable spacer and/or lid, multiple configurations for ports and probes, and multiple exhaust filter heating blankets. Also described herein are methods of manufacturing a multi-agitator motor or adjustable-position agitator motor bioreactor, as well as methods of modifying an existing support structure to be used with a container not originally designed to be used with the existing support structure, and methods for operating these bioreactors.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Genentech, Inc.Inventors: Ekta Mahajan, Kelsey Dent, Edward Chan, Terry Hudson, Neria Daniel

Patent number: 9597429Abstract: The present invention is a natural, cell-free tissue replacement that does not require difficult or extensive preparation made by washing tissue replacement in a solution including one or more sulfobetaines and an anionic surface-active detergent and washing the tissue replacement in serial solutions of the buffered salt to remove excess detergent. The natural, cell-free tissue replacement may be a nerve graft that supports axonal regeneration, guides the axons toward the distal nerve end and/or is immunologically tolerated. Other forms of the invention are a composition and kit prepared by the method of making a native, cell-free tissue replacement. The present invention may be modified for use in diagnostic, therapeutic, and prophylactic applications.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2014Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: BOARD OF REGENTS, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEMInventors: Christine E. Schmidt, Terry Hudson

Patent number: 9163508Abstract: A gerotor device includes a valving plate, a balancing plate structure, and a rotor positioned between the valving plate and the balancing plate structure. High pressure fluid flowing from the valving plate toward the rotor pushes the rotor toward the balancing plate structure. The balancing plate structure includes a balancing plate and a second plate. A cavity is defined between the balancing plate and the second plate. The balancing plate includes a fluid passage having a check valve and fluid passes through the fluid passage for pressuring the cavity. The balancing plate includes first and second relief holes extending through the balancing plate connected with the cavity.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2013Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: WHITE DRIVE PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Terry Hudson, Jeffrey N. White
