  • Patent number: 12124262
    Abstract: This disclosure provides an autonomous machine system having a scheduling controller configured to determine one or more windows of availability over a time period when the autonomous machine is allowed to operate to perform one or more operational tasks; determine a total operation time over the time period; and determine an operating schedule for a work region that assigns one or more operational tasks to the one or more windows of availability based on the total operation time. The autonomous machine may be commanded to operate in the work region according to the operating schedule.

  • Publication number: 20190117695
    Abstract: The invention is directed to isolated renal cells, including tubular and erythropoietin (EPO)-producing kidney cell populations, and methods of isolating and culturing the same, as well as methods of treating a subject in need with the cell populations.

  • Publication number: 20110123455
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a non-biased, combinatorial approach to the identification of components that modulate a regenerative response in a target tissue, thereby restoring or partially restoring homeostasis to the target tissue. The methods of the present invention are based on in vivo testing, with or without prior in vitro predictive functional testing or combinatorial testing.

  • Publication number: 20070275363
    Abstract: Bioreactors are used in neo-organ production to allow for an appropriate environment for the maintenance of healthy culturing conditions from pre-wetting to shipment of the neo-organ. The closed system “all-in-one bioreactor” is designed to allow for minimal exposure of the scaffold to the open air in order to maintain sterility. The design allows for the same container to be utilized for sterilization, pre-wetting, cell seeding, medium exchange, and shipment. The “all-in-one” bioreactor also remains completely closed after the urothelial cell seeding step to the implantation at the clinical site. This allows for sufficient time for release testing to occur so the neo-organ can be implanted into the patient.

  • Publication number: 20070276507
    Abstract: Biocompatible synthetic or natural scaffolds are provided for the reconstruction, repair, augmentation or replacement of organs or tissue structures in a patient in need of such treatment. The scaffolds are shaped to conform to at least a part of the organ or tissue structure and may be seeded with one or more cell populations. Inserts, receptacles and ports are also provided for the attachment of tubular vessels to the neo-organ scaffolds. The seeded scaffolds are implanted into the patient at the site in need of treatment to form an organized organ or tissue structure. The scaffolds may be used to form organs or tissues, such as bladders, urethras, valves, and blood vessels.

  • Publication number: 20030224407
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for assessing the toxic or pathologic effects of a selected environmental stimulus or reagent on a mammalian cell by determining on a DNA grid a “fingerprint” hybridization pattern. The fingerprint pattern is characteristic of chemically or structurally diverse stimuli or reagents, which having a common adverse effect on gene transcription. A test compound is screened for a similar toxic effect by comparing its hybridization pattern on a similar grid to the fingerprint.
