Title: Concentrated protein preparations of bone morphogenetic proteins and methods of use thereof
Inventor: RON NILES
IPC: A61L27/54
Filed: 2008-05-14
Abstract: Disclosed herein are heretofore undescribed preparations of highly concentrated, solubilized proteins, such as but not limited to, Bone Morphogenetic Proteins. Such protein preparations can be formulated in an aqueous carrier at protein concentrations in excess of 10 mg/ml when using the methods of manufacture taught herein.  Such methods yield stable protein preparations in either solubilized or lyophilized form. The protein preparations of the present invention are particularly beneficial when administered either locally or systemically, in part, because low administration volumes can be accomplished. This is especially important for local treatment of certain anatomic locations such as, for example, the synovial fluid of a joint when treating osteoarthritis with BMP-7 or the intradiscal space when treating degenerative disc disease with BMP-7.

The multilayered device (201) comprises internal rubber layers (202) and external rubber layers (203a, 203b) for a wall (6), and an intermediate fibrous structure for connecting two of the adjacent layers. The external layer is made of foam rubber for self-sealing a wall perforation by inflation and by contacting with the liquid. Each intermediate structure comprises a sheet made of non-woven fibers, which are absorbs the liquid by capillarity and dipping in the liquid for accelerating diffusion of the liquid absorbed on the surface of each foam rubber layer contacting with the sheet and for accelerating and increasing its swelling to obtain the self-sealing in short time. The liquid is greater than 200% of the mass of the structure before dipping. The intermediate structure has a weight of 50-200 g/m 2> and a thickness of 0.5-5 mm, and is constituted of single sheet formed by a non-woven of surface density of 150-200 g/m 2>. Each sheet is formed by a non-woven or a paper absorbent e.g. blotter. The non-woven is made of polypropylene according to the name OIL PAD 200 for absorbing by capillarity of a diesel fuel of mass greater than 1000% of the non-woven before it is dipped in the fuel. Each of the foam rubber layers is constituted by a crosslinked and expanded rubber composition having open cells and a density of 0.2-0.4. The rubber layers are fixed together by a mechanical unit between the points such as staples, rivets or stitches that are spaced at right of the layers to enhance their swelling in case of perforation. The outermost rubber layer is surrounded, by pasting, of external coatings for increasing the mechanical strength, rigidity and/or fireproofing of the container.

Filed: 2008-02-26
Abstract: Disclosed is a device and method and/or system for generating pulses to improve drilling rates, the ability to drill straighter and farther or fracturing or injection efficiencies in a geological formation that may contain desirable hydrocarbons. This system may also be used in other types of drilling or fracturing operations, whether to unclog arteries or to open formations for underground storage in conjunction with pulsing/fracturing. Alternately, this system could be used to create large pulses downhole for seismic purposes in that they are of such magnitude that they could be readily received in nearby wells or several of uphole locations. The system and method comprises several pulse generating devices longitudinally and axially positioned within an annular drill collar flow channel or PIM such that the PFD medium flows through the annular drill collar flow channel and the PFD medium is guided into one or more sets of selectively reversible flow, upper and lower flow connecting channels, wherein the connecting channels are connected to an inner flow channel and the annular drill collar flow channel, and wherein the annular drill collar flow channel is acted upon by one or more flow throttling devices. In one of the devices listed, the device utilizes one or more turbines residing near and within proximity of a flow diverter that diverts drilling mud into and away from turbine blades such that the force of the PFD medium causes the turbine blades and the turbine to rotationally spin around a coil assembly for power.
