Title: Improvements in or relating to filters
Inventor: COUSLAND GRAEME MICHAEL
IPC: B01D46/24
Filed: 1999-11-25
Granted: 2004-09-09
Abstract: There is disclosed a filtering apparatus and related method for use eg. in separating fine mist particles from a gas. "Fibre/candle filters" consisting of a fibrous filter bed packed into an annular space between two concentric mesh or open-work cylinders are known. Gas(es) pass along the cylinders either up or down and either from inside to outside. A problem exists with such filters namely a tendency to flood or over-saturate. The invention therefore provides a filter apparatus (5) for separating mist or liquid particles from a gas, comprising at least first and second fibrous filter beds (15) packed into an annular space (20) between first and second substantially concentric mesh or open-work tubular structures (25,30), at least one substantially annular member (35) being provided between each adjacent fibrous filter bed (15). <IMAGE>

Title: Modified tumor necrosis factor
Inventor: CLARK MIKE A
IPC: A61K38/19
Filed: 1998-01-15
Granted: 2000-10-05
Abstract: Modifying TNF with polyethyleneglycol (PEG) having an approximate weight average molecular weight in the range of about 10,000 to about 40,000, preferably in the range of about 20,000 to 30,000, significantly increases the circulating half-life of the TNF while not increasing its toxicity.

Title: A totally internally reflecting light conduit
Inventor: COBB SANFORD JR
IPC: G02B6/10
Filed: 1986-10-31
Granted: 1989-03-23
Abstract: A hollow, tubular light conduit (10) including a wall (11) of a transparent polymeric material, and the wall having a structured surface (12) and an opposite, smooth, glossy surface (14), and at least a portion of the cross-section of the wall lying in a smooth arcuate curve, wherein light (15) striking the inner surface, within an acceptable angular range, is contained by total internal reflection. The structured surface includes a linear array of substantially right angled isosceles prisms arranged side-by-side to form grooves. In addition, the perpendicular sides of the prisms make an angle of approximately 45 DEG  with the tangent to the smooth surface. Because of the flexibility of the light conduit and its ability to totally internally reflect light, a manipulated light conduit may be utilized in a variety of ways, for example, as a light fixture whereby some of the light directed into the light conduit is emitted from the light conduit for illumination or for use as a secondary light source. A suitable light source may include artificial or solar energy. However, when a light fixture operates as a warning light it is preferred that a strobe light be used.

IPC: A61M1/36
Filed: 1983-02-22
Abstract: An assembly (10) of a rigid shell expansible blood reservoir (20), heater (40), and hollow fibre membrane oxygenator (60) is integrated into a self-supporting unit. A visible concavity (22) closed by a flexible membrane (24) forms a variable volume liquid and air-tight blood reservoir (20) attached to a blood heater (40) which in turn is attached to a hollow fibre membrane oxygenator (60). The assembly stores, heats, oxygenates and purifies blood by passing oxygen through the lumens of a mat (70) of small diameter gas-permeable hollow fibres supported on a cylindrical core (68) as blood flows over the outside surfaces of the fibres in a small, easy to use, safe, integrated oxygenator (60) which avoids blood contact with ambient air as blood circulates through the assembly.
