  • Patent number: 11781112
    Abstract: The disclosed method provides a novel approach of generating antigen-specific Immunological Memory in a subject which consists primarily of extracting and purifying monocytes, naive T and B lymphocytes from a subject and educating said lymphocytes against a pathogen in vitro until a population of antigen-specific memory lymphocytes are generated with a memory against an infectious agent. Said memory lymphocytes are administered to a subject in a solution which consist primarily of blood plasma derived from said subject. In embodiments, one will see a vaccine approach wherein said vaccine excludes the inoculation of attenuated or killed whole pathogens, where inoculation of said vaccine does not illicit an immune response upon inoculation, and where said vaccine excludes chemicals such as thimerosal, formaldehyde, and aluminum which is all shunned by anti-vaccinators.

  • Patent number: 11704484
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for a template based design approach for cross channel digital data parsing and generation. The system allows for onboarding of various types of forms to push them out to users via multiple various user viewing channels. The invention identifies the sections or fields of the form that require user input and presents those fields using an advanced digital solution illustrated in the channel format. The system is expandable, allowing for a single backend upload of additional forms irrespective of the channel.

  • Patent number: 11428070
    Abstract: A frac tree coupled to a wellhead is connected to either flowback equipment or zipper modules using a single straight-line connection of pipes, valves, and/or frac iron that define a straight-line pathway for fluid, gas, or flowback materials. The disclosed single straight-line connections referenced herein may be used in pressure pumping operations to deliver hydraulic fracturing fluid (“frack fluid”) to a frac tree for delivery to a wellhead or for carrying flowback from the wellhead to a flowback-collecting equipment. To dramatically reduce the wear-and-tear on the frac tree, blocks at or near the top of the frac trees are strategically lined with a high-strength wear-resistant material internally at points where frack fluid or flowback changes direction to flow toward or away from the single straight-line connections.

  • Publication number: 20220008160
    Abstract: A biopsy marker may include three shaped portions arranged sequentially along an axis, each shaped portion having a first surface and a second surface parallel to the first surface. A first narrow portion connects a first of the three shaped portions to a second of the three shaped portions. A second narrow portion connects the second of the three shaped portions to a third of the three shaped portions. The first narrow portion is twisted about the axis such that the first surface of the first shaped portion is at a first angle to the first surface of the second shaped portion. The second narrow portion is twisted about the axis such that the first surface of the second shaped portion is at a second angle to the first surface of the third shaped portion.
