435286600 | Including gas flow or pressure control | 12 |
20080199944 | Pressure Controllable Incubation System - A pressure controllable incubation system is provided for constantly maintaining a concentration of carbon dioxide while keeping a pressure chamber, in which living organisms to be cultured are placed, at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure. The pressure controllable incubation system comprise a bomb that stores air containing high-concentration carbon dioxide to be injected into a pressure chamber and supplies the air into the pressure chamber, and a heat controller that constantly maintains temperature in the pressure chamber. The pressure controllable incubation system constantly maintains culture conditions such as pressure, temperature, and concentration of carbon dioxide which the user wants for a long time, so that it can be effectively applied to the culture of various living organisms. | 08-21-2008 |

20090104688 | Microbiological analysis machine - The machine for microbiological analysis of a support comprises an enclosure ( | 04-23-2009 |
20090137028 | EMBEDDED BLOCK HUMIDIFIER, AUTOMATIC THIN SLICE MANUFACTURING DEVICE, AND AUTOMATIC THIN SLICE SPECIMEN MANUFACTURING APPARATUS - An embedded block is capable of being humidified in a short time without influencing a surface temperature of the embedded block as much as possible. An embedded block humidifier for humidifying an embedded block having a biological specimen embedded in an embedding agent is provided which includes a vapor generating mechanism for generating vapor heated at a predetermined temperature and a guiding mechanism for guiding the vapor to the embedded block so that the generated vapor contacts with a surface of the embedded block set at a predetermined standby position. | 05-28-2009 |
20100216225 | PORTABLE MICROORGANISM DETECTION UNIT - The present invention is a portable device for detecting microorganisms in a food sample. The device includes a DNA extraction tube, a chip, and a portable control unit. The DNA extraction tube extracts DNA from the sample in an aqueous solution. The extraction tube includes successive chambers that are configured to mince, filter, and purify DNA in the form of an aqueous eluate. The chip includes reaction chambers disposed for a polymerase chain reaction to amplify a specific DNA fragment in the eluate for detection, and the portable control unit is configured to receive the chip and analyze the amplified DNA on the chip. | 08-26-2010 |
20110070632 | Photo bioreactor and cultivation system for improved productivity of photoautotrophic cell cultures - This invention relates to open or close top photobioreactor apparatus for improved productivity with a small footprint, that can be placed in varied temperature zones, above or below ground on land or in water or use in space-station for conducting aqueous aerobic or anaerobic; continues or batch wise cultivation and harvesting of photoautotrophic organism's. | 03-24-2011 |
20130189767 | BIOREACTOR WITH UPWARD FLOWING IMPELLER SYSTEM FOR USE IN A MAMMALIAN CELL CULTURE PROCESS - A bioreactor with an upward flowing impeller system for controlling a mammalian cell culture process is provided. The disclosed system enables control of the cell culture process by controlling the level of dissolved carbon dioxide in the cell culture media and prevent increases in the osmolality level is achieved by enhanced stripping of carbon dioxide via surface gas exchange with little or no damage to the mammalian cells. The use of an upward flow impeller combined with vertical baffles converts the swirling motions of the cell culture media into a largely vertical flow and promotes the removal of dissolved carbon dioxide via surface gas exchange with a sweep gas flowing over the top surface of the cell culture media within the bioreactor vessel. | 07-25-2013 |
20130260446 | COMPOSTING DEVICE - The invention relates to a device for transforming refuse into compost. The device includes a first chamber having a grinding mechanism to grind refuse. The device also includes a second chamber attached to the first chamber, and a conduit interconnecting the first chamber to the second chamber. The second chamber stores the ground refuse to promote the composting process, and the conduit allows thermal energy and moisture to be shared between the first and second chambers. | 10-03-2013 |
20140141500 | MICROBUBBLE DEVICES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS - A hydrogel tissue engineering scaffold having microbubbles dispersed therein is disclosed. Also, a system for cell culturing including a controller and actuator to apply dynamic deformational loading to a hydrogel is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for producing hydrogels with microbubbles and for culturing cells using hydrogels with microbubbles. | 05-22-2014 |
20160002587 | SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING TISSUE-ENGINEERED MATERIAL - A system for producing a tissue-engineered material includes a hollow member and a mechanical stimulating unit. The hollow member is adapted to be implanted in a peritoneal cavity, and is to be positioned in the peritoneal cavity in a manner that a part of the hollow member contacts an inner wall surface of the peritoneal cavity for enabling formation of a biological tissue that encapsulates the hollow member. The mechanical stimulation unit is coupled to the hollow member and configured to provide a periodic mechanical stimulus to the biological tissue by periodically causing the hollow member to expand and contract. A method for producing the aforesaid tissue-engineered material is also disclosed. | 01-07-2016 |
