| 20080245052 | Integrated Biomass Energy System - An indirect-fired biomass-fueled gas turbine system with a combustor for combustion of biomass particles to produce a combustion gas, a heat exchanger providing a heat exchange relationship between combustion gas from the combustor and compressed air, and a gas turbine. The combustor may be a cyclonic combustor with a combustion liner forming a combustion chamber, a biomass feed inlet at one end of the combustion chamber formed through the combustion liner for receiving the biomass particles from a fuel feed system, wherein the biomass feed inlet is formed so that the biomass particles are introduced into the combustion chamber with a tangential component, and a plurality of air tuyeres formed through the combustion liner for receiving air, wherein at least one of the air tuyeres is arranged to introduce the air into the combustion chamber with a tangential component. | 10-09-2008 |

| 20110224129 | Lipopeptide Compounds and Their Use - The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds, and more specifically to certain lipopeptide compounds comprising a cyclic peptide bearing a lipid side chain (for convenience, collectively referred to herein as “LP compounds”), which, inter alia, are antimicrobial, particularly antibacterial. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to provide an antimicrobial function, particularly an antibacterial function, and in the treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by microbes, particularly bacteria, that are ameliorated by the antimicrobial function, particularly an antibacterial function, including bacterial diseases, optionally in combination with another agent, for example, another antibacterial agent. | 09-15-2011 |
| 20110237566 | Therapeutic Macrolide Compounds and Their Use - The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds, and more specifically to certain macrolide compounds (for convenience, collectively referred to herein as “MC compounds”), which, inter alia, are useful in treatment of cancer. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to treat proliferative conditions such as cancer, and in the treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by the regulation (e.g. inhibition) of cell proliferation, optionally in combination with another agent. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20090111181 | APPARATUS FOR PREPARING A BIOCOMPATIBLE MATRIX - An apparatus and method of using the apparatus to prepare a biocompatible biodegradable matrix capable of supporting cells to form an implantable or engraftable surgical device. A matrix-forming fluid is contained within a chamber defined by top and bottom surfaces of a thermally conductive material and spacers defining the thickness of the matrix. The chamber is then cooled to freeze the solution at a controlled rate, resulting in a matrix with a desired and uniform thickness having symmetric and uniform reticulations. The apparatus and method reproducibly forms such a matrix, which may be populated with cells for transplantation and engraftment into a wound. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20100254955 | SURGICAL DEVICE FOR SKIN THERAPY OR TESTING - A device, and method of making the device, capable of therapeutic treatment and/or for in vitro testing of human skin. The device may be used on skin wounds for burned, injured, or diseased skin, and provides structures and functions as in normal uninjured skin, such as barrier function, which is a definitive property of normal skin. The device contains cultured dermal and epidermal cells on a biocompatible, biodegradable reticulated matrix. All or part of the cells may be autologous, from the recipient of the cultured skin device, which advantageously eliminates concerns of tissue compatibility. The cells may also be modified genetically to provide one or more factors to facilitate healing of the engrafted skin replacement, such as an angiogenic factor to stimulate growth of blood vessels. The inventive device is easy to handle and manipulate for surgical transplant, can be made into large sheets to minimize the number of grafts required to cover a large surface area to be treated, and can be produced within the time frame to treat a burned individual requiring a skin graft. | 10-07-2010 |

| 20080254226 | METHOD TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF POLYMER DRAG REDUCTION FOR MARINE AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS - A method for increasing the efficiency of additive drag reduction by establishing a drag-reducing viscoelastic coating on a surface. The method includes mixing a polymer into a concentrated solution that has approximately the same density as a fluid flowing over the surface, ejecting the mixture/solution into the flowing fluid in a manner such that a coating of polymer, which initially grows thicker with time, is adsorbed onto the surface, and reducing the ejection rate of the first fluid such that the coating of polymer then grows thinner with time. These steps may be repeated so that a desired minimum coating thickness is maintained over an extended period of time. The method reduces the polymer expenditure rate for a given drag reduction. Moreover, the produced viscoelastic coating impedes the attachment and growth of drag-producing natural organisms and may be applied without “down-time” (e.g., while underway). | 10-16-2008 |

| 20110250365 | Continuously Manufactured Colored Metallic Products and Method of Manufacture of Such Products - Metallic tube, pipe and conduit are made in a continuous process that includes a zinc galvanization stage, a first passivation stage, a second passivation stage and a third passivation stage. A colorant is added to the tube, pipe or conduit during the continuous manufacturing process, and the colorant imparts the appearance of a color, such as red. The continuous movement of the tube, pipe or conduit is not halted during normal operation of the tube, pipe or conduit manufacturing and coloring process. | 10-13-2011 |
