Title: Improved process for recovering microbially produced interferon-beta
IPC: C07K1/113
Filed: 1988-09-26
Abstract: An approved procedure for the purification and renaturation of biologically active, bacterially produced IFN-beta is described. The partially purified material obtained by solubilization of isolated refractile bodies from the recombinant cells is treated to obtain reduction of the protein in the presence of a chaotropic environment and then oxidized after removal of the reducing agent. However, the chaotropic environment is retained during the oxidation. Upon removal of the chaotropic environment, a solubilizing additive is supplied to maintain the IFN-beta in solution. Further purification by conventional means may also be effected.

Title: Disposable fluid infusion pumping chamber cassette having a push button flow stop thereon
Inventor: LAWLESS MICHAEL W
IPC: F04B43/00
Filed: 1995-05-10
Abstract: A disposable pumping cassette having an integral auxiliary flow control and pressure monitoring member is used for delivering a medicinal fluid to a patient. The pumping cassette includes an elastomeric member mounted in a rigid body having an inlet and an outlet. An inlet valve and an outlet valve on the cassette are opened, and the flow control is positioned to allow the medicinal fluid to flow freely through the cassette, priming it before the outlet is connected to the patient. The cassette is then coupled to an associated pump driver, closing the flow control to disable free fluid flow through the cassette, and the outlet of the cassette is coupled in fluid communication with the patient's body. The medicinal fluid is drawn into a pumping chamber formed in the rigid body as a plunger of the associated pump driver is drawn up from the elastomeric membrane at a recess formed in the rigid body. The plunger is then advanced downwardly, forcing the elastomeric membrane into the pumping chamber to deliver the medicinal fluid to the patient. The pressure of the fluid delivered to the patient is monitored through contact of the auxiliary flow control member with the elastomeric membrane over an outlet channel of the cassette.

Title: Ventilatory assistance for treatment of cardiac failure and cheyne-stokes breathing
Inventor: BERTHON-JONES MICHAEL
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 1999-05-21
Abstract: Method and apparatus for the treatment of cardiac failure, Cheyne-Stokes breathing or central sleep apnea are disclosed. A subject is provided with ventilatory support, for example positive pressure ventilatory support using a blower and mask. Respiratory airflow is determined. From the respiratory airflow are derived a measure of instantaneous ventilation (for example half the absolute value of the respiratory airflow) and a measure of longterm average ventilation (for example the instantaneous ventilation low pass filtered with a 100 second time constant). A target ventilation is taken as 95 % of the longterm average ventilation. The instantaneous ventilation is fed as the input signal to a clipped integral controller, with the target ventilation as the reference signal. The output of the controller determines the degree of ventilatory support. Clipping is typically to between half and double the degree of support that would do all the respiratory work. A third measure of ventilation, for example instantaneous ventilation low pass filtered with a time constant of 5 seconds, is calculated. Ventilatory support is in phase with the subject's respiratory airflow to the fuzzy extent that this ventilation is above target, and at a preset rate conversely.

Title: Method and apparatus for a sheet flow water ride in a single container
Inventor: LOCHTEFELD THOMAS J
IPC: A63G31/00
Filed: 1993-03-04
Abstract: Sheet wave generators have recently been hailed as the new generation of simulated wave generating water rides. The present invention relates to a sheet wave generator with a riding surface appended to a single container of water, i.e., a swimming pool, wave pool, or any existing or new water facility. Because the riding surface of the present invention is contained along its outer periphery, the water ride can be compact so that is suitable for placement in a relatively small area of land. The ride surface itself has an inclined surface, a transition turn area, and a downward declining surface which feeds back into the pool. This butterfly configuration is relatively compact, and can be situated such that the flow of water comes from and returns to the pool area. The invention also has a unique nozzle outlet area which is at or slightly below the elevation of the water surface in the pool, so that riders may skim over the nozzle area and onto the riding surface directly from the pool area.
