US Patent:

7546210, Jun 9, 2009

Filed:

Jun 7, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/296870

Inventors:

Daniel E. Callahan - Martinez CA, US
Bahram Parvin - Hercules CA, US

Assignee:

The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G01N 31/00
G06K 9/00
G06K 9/36

US Classification:

702 19, 702 22, 382133, 382286

Abstract:

The present invention provides methods and devices for the knowledge-based discovery and optimization of differences between cell types. In particular, the present invention provides visual servoing optical microscopy, as well as analysis methods. The present invention provides means for the close monitoring of hundreds of individual, living cells over time: quantification of dynamic physiological responses in multiple channels; real-time digital image segmentation and analysis; intelligent, repetitive computer-applied cell stress and cell stimulation; and the ability to return to the same field of cells for long-term studies and observation. The present invention further provides means to optimize culture conditions for specific subpopulations of cells.

A01G 18/20

Abstract:

A process of making a mycological biopolymer of a mycomaterial filter comprising the steps of filling a scaffold with a nutritive substrate and a fungus, placing an encasement on the scaffold to seal the scaffold, said encasement having only one outlet therein open to fresh air and defining a vacant space, incubation of the sealed scaffold at high temperatures and carbon dioxide concentrations to induce biopolymer growth into the vacant space wherein the mycological biopolymer environmental conditions comprise an environmental temperature from 55 F. to 95 F. and carbon dioxide constitutes from 2% to 8% of the environment within the vacant space, and thereafter drying the produced mycological biopolymer.
