| 20110155154 | Smoking Article with Tobacco Beads - A component of a smoking article having tobacco beads. The tobacco beads can be located in a filter and/or a tobacco rod. The filter can be a multi-component filter, wherein an sorbent (preferably upstream) removes at least one constituent from mainstream tobacco smoke passing through the filter and downstream tobacco beads compensates for taste lost to the sorbent. The tobacco beads optionally include flavorants in addition to tobacco particulates. The tobacco beads can be located within a cavity in the filter or within the tow. This component can comprise additional flavors, which are released into the mainstream smoke under ambient conditions. The tobacco beads optionally include binders such as microcrystalline cellulose or other cellulosic material, which can be formed into a paste with tobacco powder and optionally with additional flavors. The paste can be extruded and spheronized to form the tobacco beads. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20110038741 | System, Method, and Pump to Prevent Pump Contamination During Negative Pressure Wound Therapy - A pump assembly suitable for negative pressure wound therapy that includes an internal filter for preventing contamination in various components of the pump assembly, such as the pump unit. The internal filter is located in an isolated filter chamber, and inlet vacuum tubing that could contain fluids or bacteria are located inside a double containment sleeve to prevent contamination of components of the pump. The inlet vacuum tubing may be removed without opening the main pump housing and without contaminating the contents of the pump housing. | 02-17-2011 |
