Abstract: A biochemical implant is described which comprises at least two matrix components. The first matrix component is composed of collagen with a porous macrostructure with the ability to withstand tensile or shear forces. The second matrix component is a hydrated alginate gel which substantially fills the porous macrostructure of the first component and exerts a swelling pressure. The implant additionally comprises a population of cells comprising chondrocytes, fibrochondrocytes, fibroblasts or osteoblasts, or precursors thereof.

Abstract: A vehicle thermal management system includes a temperature control fluid for controlling the temperature of at least a portion of a vehicle system. A pump is configured to pump the temperature control fluid through a heat exchanger to facilitate the transfer of heat between the temperature control fluid and ambient air. A fan is operable to move the ambient air across the heat exchanger to facilitate increased heat transfer. A control system is used to control operation of the pump and the fan. The control system is provided with operation data that includes optimized operating speeds for the pump and the fan to minimize power consumption, while maximizing heat transfer.
