Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for producing liposomes by filtration. The methods include passing a heated lipid suspension through a filter assembly comprising two or more filters connected in series, wherein an orifice is disposed between adjacent filters. The methods and systems can produce liposomes having an average diameter that is less than half the diameter of the filter pores. Further, the methods and systems can produce liposomes with <100 nm average diameter, even when the liposomes comprise at least 30% sterol.

Abstract: A battery pack including a support frame. The support frame includes a plurality of recesses for receiving a plurality of battery cells, a first vent, a second vent, a first peripheral support section, a second peripheral support section, and an air passage. The first vent is located on a first distal end of the support frame, the second vent is located on a second distal end of the support frame, and the air passage is located between the first vent and the second vent. The first and second peripheral support sections space apart and securely hold the plurality of battery cells within the battery pack.
