Title: Stabilized lyophilized mammalian cells and method of making same
Inventor: RAYNOR ROBERT H
IPC: C12N5/071
Filed: 1989-10-19
Abstract: A method of lyophilizing mammalian cells to produce preserved human cells, hybridoma cell lines, tissue cells, and control cells for immunoassays and other hematological measurements. Prior to freezing and lyophilizing, the prepared mammalian cell pellet is suspended in a solution of trehalose in an isotonic fluid prepared at a specified optimal concentration and incubated at room temperature for a designated time period. The lyophilized cells when rehydrated, retain their optimal physiological characteristics suitable for use as an analytical control and retain said characteristics after storage at 2 DEG -8 DEG  C. for a period in excess of five (5) months.
Patent ZA-902139-B (ZA)
Title: A moderated spun fibrous system and method of manufacture
Inventor: FUISZ RICHARD C
IPC: A61K9/70
Filed: 1990-03-20
Abstract: A spun product from a combination of a saccharide and a hydrophobic ingredient is hydrophilic with low concentrations of such ingredient but becomes increasingly hydrophobic as the concentration of the hydrophobic ingredient is increased, although the end product nevertheless acts hydrophilically when the water temperature is elevated. Larger ratios of hydrophobic substance-to-saccharide yields a spun fibrous product that has increased stability. Similar stabilization can be attained by adding either beeswax or a petrolatum to the saccharide either in the presence of or absence of a separate active ingredient. Examples are given for masking the taste of unpalatable medicaments or other ingestible substances. Delayed release burn or wound dressings are also described. Control with beeswax can also provide a time release tablet or the like when swallowed.

Title: Thin-fingered medical glove
Inventor: CHEN MAO-CHING
IPC: B29C41/14
Filed: 1993-10-04
Abstract: A process for making medical gloves whose fingers have thinner walls than the rest of the gloves involves first depositing onto a hand-shaped glove form a layer of coagulant that comprises an ionic metal salt, then depositing an elastomeric layer. Part of the coated form is then leeched of metal ions in the coating, and the form is overcoated with a second elastomeric layer. The overcoated layer is thinner in the part where it overlies the leeched coating. The gloves find particular usefulness in delicate operations such as those performed by ophthalmologists.

Abstract: A method for operating a multi-stable shift-by wire selector control system of a motor vehicle transmission is disclosed. The multi-stable shift-by wire selector control system includes a multi-stable selector which is operable by the driver of the vehicle to select a respective one of the operating modes of the transmission (Park mode, Drive mode, Neutral mode and Reverse mode), an arrangement of illuminated labels (P, R, N, D) indicating the selector mode and an indexing mechanism for maintaining the immobilisation of the selector in its different positions respectively P, R, N, and D and also enabling the driver to perceive the transition from one position to another. The system having sensing means to monitor the position of the selector. The method consists of sending a command to flash the illuminated label corresponding to the drive mode susceptible of being selected when the selector has been monitored between two indexing positions so called hysteresis range where no instruction command is sent to the TCU so as to warn the driver that the selector has been left in a balance position which might be an unsafe vehicle condition.

Granted: 1989-10-04
Abstract: A macroscopically expanded, three-dimensional fluid-handling polymeric web having first and second surfaces located in substantially parallel planes which are remote from one another. The web includes a multiplicity offluid-handling capillary networks of macroscopic cross-section for rapidly transmitting fluids which are dynamically deposited on the first surface of said web to the second surface of said web using the dynamic and gravitational head of the fluid as a primary driving force. Each of the macroscopic cross-section capillary networks originates as an aperture in the first surface of the web and has a continuously interconnected sidewall extending in the direction of the second surface of said web. The continuously interconnected sidewall terminates to form at least one aperture in the second surface of said web, whereby the bulk of the dynamically deposited fluid is transmitted from the first surface to the second surface of said web by the macroscopic cross-section capillary networks. The first surface of the web in which the macroscopic cross-section capillary networks originate further includes a multiplicity of fluid-handling capillary networks which are substantially smaller in cross-section than the macroscopic cross-section fluid-handling capillary networks. The smaller fluid-handling capillary networks exhibit a degree of capillary suction sufficient to transmit static fluid contained on the surface of objectswhich contact the first surface of said web generally in the direction of the second surface of said web by capillary attraction. In a preferred embodiment the smaller fluid handling capillary networks are oppositely oriented from the macroscopic cross-section capillary networks to provide improved visual and tactile impression as well as to enhance the volume of dynamically deposited fluid which flows into the macroscopic cross-section capillary networks.

Abstract: A találmány tárgya eljárás talajok és adott esetben talajvizek főleg folyékony szénhidrogénes szennyeződésektől való megtisztítására, amelynél az első, feltárási ütemben a szennyezett területen végzett talajmechanikai feltárással a talajt, talajvizet és a szennyeződést analizáljuk, majd a második, szenynyeződésmentesítő ütemben a szennyezett területen megcsapoló műtárgyat építünk, és azzal azt megcsapoljuk, és a kitermelt vízből a szennyeződést leválasztjuk, majd talajmosáshoz a megtisztított vizet a talajba visszajuttatjuk. A találmány lényege, hogy a feltárási ütemben megfigyelőkutakat telepítünk, továbbá a talajmechanikai feltárást mérésekkel együtt végezzük. Ezekkel meghatározzuk a talaj fizikai jellemzőit (pl. szemcseméretét, összetételét, hézagtérfogatát, nedvességtartalmát, vízvezetőségi tényezőjét). Járulékosan mérnökgeofizikai méréseket is végzünk, ezek során mérjük a talaj fizikai paramétereit (pl. villamos ellenállását és vezetőképességét, dielektromos tényezőjét, mágneses permeabilitását, mechanikai rezgésjellemzőit és hullámsebességét). A fenti adatok, valamint a szennyezett terület topográfiai tanulmányozása, és adott esetben a talajvízszint- mozgás statisztikai adatai alapján háromdimenziós rétegezettségi és szivárgási modellt szerkesztünk, amellyel meghatározzuk a talajrétegek térbeli elrendeződését és kapcsolódását, a talajvíz áramlási irányait, szintingadozási tartományát és nyomásadatait, valamint a szennyeződés térbeli elhelyezkedését, koncentrációját és határait. A háromdimenziós rétegzettségi és szivárgási modell alapján meghatározzuk a megépítendő, megcsapolandó és visszatápláló műtárgyak helyét és a lokalizációs irányokat. A szenynyeződésmentesítési ütemben a megcsapolás során a folyékony szennyeződés és a víz kitermelését előnyösen külön folyadékkörrel végezzük. Ehhez megnövelt beömlési felületű megcsapoló műtárgyként legalább egy árok-drén, illetve drén-drén, illetve drénlemez-drén rendszert alkalmazunk. A tiszított víznek a kezelendő talaj átmosásához a talajba történő visszatáplálását megnövelt leadófelületen, előnyösen árokkal és/vagy drénnel végezzük, ennek során a szennyezett talajban lévő talajvíz és a folyékony szennyeződés áramlási sebességét a nyomásgradiens növelésével a megcsapolórendszer irányába megnöveljük.
