Patent EP-1110914-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MIERS JR JAY ALFRED
IPC: B01J49/00
Filed: 2000-11-07
Abstract: An apparatus and a method for water treatment is disclosed where a
dealkalization treatment cycle is used in conjunction with a pH adjustment cycle
or with a regeneration cycle or with both. The treatment cycle involves
contacting untreated water with weak acid cation exchange resin, optionally
followed by pH adjustment. The regeneration cycle includes contacting partially
exhausted weak acid cation exchange resin with weak acid regenerants, in
particular carbonic acid; use of weak acid regenerants avoids introduction of
excessive deposits of inorganic salts into the environment. The water treatment
system can also be arranged to permit concurrent treatment and regeneration
cycles and is useful for providing treated water on demand for both home and
beverage service use.

Inventor: VACANTI JOSEPH P
IPC: A61K35/44
Filed: 2000-04-28
Abstract: A method and materials to create complex vascularized living tissue in three dimensions from a two-dimension microfabricated mold has been developed. The method involved creating a two dimensional surface having a branching structure etched into the surface. The pattern begins with one or more large channels which serially branch into a large array of channels as small as individual capillaries, then converge to one or more large channels. The etched surface serves a template within a mold formed with the etched surface for the circulation of an individual tissue or organ. Living vascular cells are then seeded onto the mold, where they form living vascular channels based on the pattern etched in the mold. Once formed and sustained by their own matrix, the top of the mold is removed. The organ or tissue specific cells are then added to the etched surface, where they attach and proliferate to form a thin, vascularized sheet of tissue. The tissue can then be gently lifted from the mold using techniques such as fluid flow and other supporting material, as necessary. The tissue can then be systematically folded and compacted into a three-dimensional vascularized structure. This structure can then be implanted into animals or patients by directly connecting the blood vessels to flow into and out of the device. Immediate perfusion of oxygenated blood occurs, which allows survival and function of the entire living mass.

Abstract: An improved method and system for developing a reinsurance administration system. Developers may build application programs for reinsurance administration with increased re-use of existing functionality and decreased development time. A business process framework may include common functionality for a plurality of business processes and a template for executing steps in the business processes. The business processes may be combined to build one or more application programs. A multi-dimensional reinsurance contract framework may permit the handling of various dimensions of a reinsurance contract such as handling different versions of the reinsurance contract (e.g., yearly periods), handling multi-level specialization hierarchy (e.g., different conditions for different sections of the reinsurance contract), handling the change of conditions within a period, and processing inheritance of contract structure and conditions from an abstract or master reissue contract. An object-oriented condition component framework may represent a condition dimension of a reinsurance contract. The condition component framework may permit the addition and/or modification of condition components of the reinsurance contract.
