Title: Method and device for separating fibrin I from blood plasma
Inventor: HOLM NIELS ERIK
IPC: A61K38/16
Filed: 1995-12-01
Granted: 1999-06-03
Abstract: A method and a device for separating a component, such as fibrin monomer from blood, by centrifugation, involve feeding of blood admixed an anticoagulant to a first annular chamber in a device, where the annular chamber is defined by a cylindrical outer wall and a cylindrical inner wall, both walls extending coaxially about a common axis, as well as by a top wall and a bottom wall. The top wall or the bottom wall is formed by a piston body displaceable within the first chamber. This method involves furthermore a centrifugation of the device about the said common axis to substantially separate blood into a cell fraction and a plasma fraction followed by the resulting plasma fraction being transferred while influenced by the piston body to a second chamber defined by an outer cylindrical wall. The outer cylindrical wall extends coaxially with the said common axis, whereby a fraction with fibrin I is caused to be separated in the second chamber while a suitable enzyme is being added. The separation of fibrin monomer from the plasma fraction in the second chamber is carried out during continued centrifugation whereby a fibrin polymer is deposited on the cylindrical outer wall of said second chamber, whereafter the fluid fraction collected at the bottom of the second chamber is transferred while influenced by the piston body to the first chamber. The fraction with fibrin polymer remaining in the second chamber is substantially deposited on the cylindrical wall and is caused to be dissolved by addition of a solvent and by centrifugation, whereafter it is transferred to a receiving container by passing after addition of a binder to the enzyme through a filter removing said enzyme, whereby a fibrin monomer containing solution is provided.

Granted: 1999-07-08
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US96/02409 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 5, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 5, 1997 PCT Filed Feb. 20, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/25108 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 22, 1996This invention is an apparatus for treating lymphedema having a sleeve with inwardly projecting-elastomeric fingers and externally fitted pressure adjusting circular bands. When the sleeve is fitted to a patient's limb, the fingers impose a grid pattern of pressure points against skin of swollen limb. Space around and between the pressure points provide channels under the skin through which lymphatic fluids are able to migrate up the arm to the shoulder where healthy nodes process it and channel it to the large veins. Similar applications are applied to other limbs, hands, and feet with sleeves, and to the shoulder, chest wall, and back with vests.

Title: Low shear inversion process and products thereof
IPC: A23C15/16
Filed: 1990-04-24
Granted: 1993-02-25
Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a reduced fat butter which is butter-like without being cheese-spread like. In particular, the invention aims to provide a 55-65% butter-fat based spread with a butter-like texture using a simple process of low shear inversion. The additional problems faced include avoiding the high levels of caseinate previously found necessary for inversion and avoiding the costly 16 hr ripening step previously required. A reduced fat butter which has a good butter-like texture by inversion of a concentrated cream in the form of a partially crystallised viscous paste. In particular, by phase inversion under conditions of low shear of a cream comprising from 55-65%wt butterfat and 35-45%wt of a gelled or thickened aqueous phase, wherein the cream is in the form of a partially crystallised viscous paste and wherein the C value of said paste at 20 DEG C lies between 50 and 1500. Suitable aqueous phase thickeners are gelatine and caseinates. The viscosity of the aqueous phase should be such that at 20 DEG C less than 20 ml of a 100 ml sample of the paste is discharged from a Ford viscosity cup type FB 11 having a fixed stainless steel nozzle (no 4.) in 2.5 minutes.

Granted: 2003-08-21
Abstract: An apparatus (402, 404) is provided for detecting link imbalances in a digital cellular communications system including a plurality of wireless units (400) and base stations. The apparatus (402, 404) determines if a link failure in a first radio link between a wireless unit (400) and a base station during call initialisation, whether the link failure is a reverse or forward link failure, whether the link failure is due to a link imbalance in the first radio link, and if so instructs the wireless unit (400) to switch to a second radio link. If the link failure is due to a weak reverse link, the apparatus (402, 404) determines the maximum number of access probes. If the wireless unit (400) has transmitted the maximum number of probes, then communication is initiated on a secondary communication system, or an idle state is entered and communication reinitiated with a primary digital cellular communication system.
