Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus for producing an optical effect and more especially to apparatus for simulating burning solid fuel, in particular in a fuel and/or flame effect electric fire. A simulated fuel element comprises two parts. First ends of optic fibres are located between the mating faces of these two parts. A light source radiates light into the second ends of the optic fibres at a location which is not visible to a user. The light is transferred thorough the optic fibres to the outer surface of the solid fuel element, thus providing the effect of glowing fuel.

Abstract: A method for processing biological tissue used in biological prostheses includes providing a tissue procurement solution formed from a phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution and a chelating agent. The tissue is transferred from the tissue procurement solution and undergoes chemical fixation. The fixed tissue is then immersed in a series of fresh bioburden reduction process (BRP) solutions to extract phospholipids. The tissue procurement solution reduces the bioburden on the stored tissue and preserves tissue architecture by minimizing tissue swelling. The tissue procurement solution further reduces calcium from the incoming water and/or tissue, and inhibits enzymes that digest the collagen matrix. The serial immersion of the tissue in the fresh bioburden solutions ensures optimal extraction of phospholipids thereby mitigating subsequent calcification of the tissue.
