Abstract: The present invention includes a spray drying disposable device for use in a spray drying system. The disposable has a spray drying head and a plasma drying chamber. The head has a spray dry nozzle assembly in fluid communication with the plasma source and the pressurized aerosol gas source. The pressurized gas flows in a vortex pattern that atomizes plasma droplets in the chamber. The head also includes a plenum has uniform air pressure of the drying gas. A baffle plate forms the floor of the plenum having drying gas jets that supply drying gas to the chamber. The atomized plasma droplets evaporate in the presence of the drying gas emitted from the jets to obtain dried plasma particles and humid air. A capture filter captures the dried plasma particles and allows the humid air to pass. The humid air passes through the gas outlet and the exhaust port.

Abstract: A communication system including a UE, a base station, and a PLMN is disclosed. The UE may access a radio cell supported by a communication satellite. The UE may select a preferred PLMN for each of multiple potential geographic locations of the UE. The UE may transmit, to the base station via the radio cell and the communication satellite, an indication of the preferred PLMN for each of the multiple potential geographic locations of the UE. The base station may attempt to determine a current geographic location of the UE. The base station may determine a serving PLMN as the preferred PLMN for the current geographic location of the UE and may later determine a second PLMN if the current geographic location changes. The base station determination may not be visible to the UE which may reduce UE signaling and resource usage.

Abstract: The present invention provides molecules, including proteins, more particularly, immunoglobulins whose in vivo half-lives are altered (increased or decreased) by the presence of an IgG constant domain, or FcRn binding fragment thereof (e.g., an Fc region or hinge-Fe region) (e.g., from a human IgG, e.g., human IgG1), that have modifications of one or more of amino acid residues in at least the CH3 domain.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for a computerized framework that provides novel mechanisms for arthroscopic applications using real-time blood flow information. The disclosed framework operates by determining a real-time (or near real-time or substantially simultaneous) visualization of blood vessels or perfusion within anatomical structures during intraoperative procedures, and leveraging this determined information for the performance of an arthroscopic procedure. The disclosed framework can enable an arthroscopic camera to see blood flow and perfusion in tissues in real-time, which allows for differentiation of various parts of the anatomy that may otherwise be undetectable.
