Abstract: Non-Newtonian fluids, such as partially polymerized monomers or
solutions of polymer in monomer may be pressure atomized below the free
surface of a continuous liquid phase to produce a dispersed phase. A uniform
or customized droplet size distribution can be obtained by imposing a required
pressure pulsation on a flowing monomer upstream the atomizer inlet. This
initial particle size distribution can be maintained or modified during
subsequent polymerization process in a low shear, controlled turbulence flow
pattern, created without mechanical agitation within the continuous liquid, by
continuously or periodically injecting an inert gas at selected locations within

Abstract: A method for inhibiting bacterial growth in whole blood and/or blood components, which may therefore also be used to extend the storage time for the whole blood and/or blood components, through treatment with carbon monoxide. This method is preferably used for the preservation of platelets, which are both particularly vulnerable to bacterial and other microbial infection, and which are also particularly suitable for use with the method of the present invention. Carbon monoxide may be present in an amount of from about 40% to about 100%. Platelets may be stored in a solution buffered by any suitable buffer, such as sodium bicarbonate. Platelet viability may be determined by measuring the ability to aggregate, for example in response to an agonist such as collagen.

Le module prend ces sous-modèles et les combine à un modèle probabiliste (PM) de l'environnement hertzien (RN), de façon que le module probabiliste indique une distribution des probabilités de ces grandeurs du signal en plusieurs emplacements de l'environnement hertzien. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le modèle peut insérer de nouveaux emplacements dans un unique modèle sur la base d'une combinaison d'emplacements existants. La combinaison de sous-modèles ou d'emplacements existants fait intervenir une combinaison des fonctions de distribution cumulative inverses des sous-modèles ou des emplacements existants.
