International Classification:

C12M 1/22
C12M 3/00
C12M 1/34
US Classification:

4353052, 4352887, 435808, 4352884, 4352885, 4352971, 4353051, 4352975, 2057775, 205778, 205779, 20440301
Abstract:

A bioreactor for cultivating living cells in a liquid medium. In one embodiment of the present invention, the bioreactor has a first substrate having a first surface and an opposite second surface, defining a chamber therebetween for receiving the cells and the liquid medium. The bioreactor further has a barrier dividing the chamber into a first subchamber and a second subchamber, wherein the barrier has a porosity to allow the first subchamber and the second subchamber in fluid communication and allow at least one predetermined type of cells to permeate between the first subchamber and the second subchamber.

International Classification:

C12M 1/00
US Classification:

4352891
Abstract:

A bioreactor for cultivating living cells in a liquid medium. In one embodiment of the present invention, the bioreactor includes a first substrate having a first surface, an opposite second surface and edges. The bioreactor further includes a second substrate having a first surface and an opposite second surface, defining a cavity with a bottom surface, where the bottom surface is located therebetween the first surface and the second surface. The first surface of the first substrate is received by the second surface of the second substrate to cover the cavity so as to form a channel for receiving cells and a liquid medium. In forming the bioreactor, the channel is sized to allow the growth of a layer of cells on a biocompatible coating layer and a flow of liquid in the channel. The flow of liquid is controlled so as to provide a known shear force to the layer of cells. The flow of liquid can be further controlled so as to provide an environment that simulates a vascular space in the channel.

Abstract:

A bioreactor () for cultivating living cells in a liquid medium. In one embodiment, the bioreactor () has a substrate () having a first surface and an opposite second surface, defining a channel () therein, and a plurality of chambers () formed in the substrate, wherein each of the plurality of chambers () is adapted for receiving cells in a liquid medium and formed with an open end (), an opposite closed end () and side walls, the open end () and the closed end () defining a depth, d, therebetween for the corresponding chamber (), the sidewalls defining a width, w, therebetween for the corresponding chamber (). As such formed, each chamber () is in fluid communication with the channel () through the open end of the chamber (), and at least two of the plurality of chambers () have depths or widths the same or different form each other.

US Patent:

20030042284, Mar 6, 2003
Filed:

Aug 28, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/939619
Inventors:

Randall Reiserer - Nashville TN, US
International Classification:

A45F005/00
US Classification:

224/660000, 224/674000
Abstract:

A strap-like clip-on accessory retainer or holder for attachment to the user's belt or waistband for the convenience of carrying handy tools, such as knives, pouches for holding small items, tapes, etc. like a utility belt. The accessory retainer or holder allows belt accessories to be attached to the waistband of trousers, shorts, skirts, etc., with or without a belt, as well as to any other wearable or non-wearable material having a thin edge. The inventive strap-like accessory retainer or holder can accommodate several accessories at once and can, therefore, be used to assemble semi-permanent “kits” of accessories that are commonly used together in particular applications. With the belt's clip-on or clamp-on construction, it can supply the secondary function of a waist belt (to harness accessories) without the necessity of serving the primary function (to adjust waistband circumference).

Abstract:

A clip-on utility carrier for attachment to the user's waistband for the convenience of carrying handy tools, such as knives, pouches for holding small items, tapes, etc. The utility carrier allows belt accessories to be attached to the waistband of trousers, shorts, skirts, etc., with or without a belt, as well as to any other wearable or non-wearable material having a thin edge.
