Abstract

The present invention provides a feedback controlled bioculture platform for use as a precision cell biology research tool and for clinical cell growth and maintenance applications. The system provides individual closed-loop flowpath cartridges, with integrated, aseptic sampling and routing to collection vials or analysis systems. The system can operate in a standard laboratory or other incubator for provision of requisite gas and thermal environment. System cartridges are modular and can be operated independently or under a unified system controlling architecture, and provide for scale-up production of cell and cell products for research and clinical applications. Multiple replicates of the flowpath cartridges allow for individual, yet replicate cell culture growth and multiples of the experiment models that can be varied according to the experiment design, or modulated to desired cell development of cell culture end-points. The integral flowpath cartridge aseptic sampling system provides for dynamic analysis of metabolic products or representative cells from the culture.

International Classification

B65D 85671

U.S. Classification

242 5518

Abstract

A motion picture film shipping and handling system is adaptable for use on either a platter-type movie projector system or on a reel-type movie projector system. The system includes two film supporting flanges with a collapsible hub located therebetween. A central supporting hub is releasably connected to the collapsible hub, and fasteners releasably attach the elements together. A shipping case contains the flanges and the film in a manner which dissipates impact forces to protect the film and the flanges.

International Classification

G03B 1505, G03B 700

U.S. Classification

354145

Abstract

An electronic flash device for associated camera attachment, in which the flash device is rotatable about an axis generally perpendicular to the normally horizontal viewing plane of the camera lens. The light sensor of the flash device is automatically positioned by the rotational movement of the flash device, for maintaining the sensor's line of sight, parallel with the camera lens' view direction.

International Classification

A61M 5/315, A61M 5/24

Abstract

A drug delivery system for injecting a medicament includes a container including a closure and a stopper configured to move within the container from a pre-use position to a post-use position. The system includes a drive assembly configured to move the stopper between first and second positions, and a spacer assembly engaged with the stopper configured to be engaged by the drive assembly. The spacer assembly includes a first spacer portion received within the stopper, a second spacer portion spaced from the first spacer portion, an inner plunger, and a spacer shuttle received by the inner plunger. The inner plunger, the spacer shuttle, and the second portion are configured to move relative to the stopper, where movement of the second spacer portion is restricted by the spacer shuttle, movement of the spacer shuttle is restricted by the inner plunger, and movement of the inner plunger is restricted by the stopper.

U.S. Classification

204192380, 204298410

Abstract

A coating of a target material is applied onto a substrate by placing the substrate in a chamber and energizing cathodes in the chamber to produce a plasma. Each cathode comprises a target material and is positioned in the same side of the chamber relative to the substrate. The plasma circulates in the chamber. An acid-resistant metal film can be made from an acid-soluble metal by applying the metal onto an acid-resistant substrate as described herein. A cathodic vapor deposition apparatus includes a chamber having a wall, including a wall comprising an access door. There are cathodes on the wall, a pump operatively connected to the chamber, and a fixture in the chamber. The fixture is electrically isolated from the chamber and the cathodes are all on the same side of the fixture. An article of manufacture may contain a polymeric substrate having a film of metal target material deposited thereon by the method described herein, or a metal substrate having a primer thereon, and, on the primer, a film of metal target material.
