| 20080286746 | PERFUSION APPARATUS AND METHOD - A perfusion apparatus for perfusing an organ includes a pump for pumping perfusion liquid though a perfusion liquid conduit, the conduit having an outlet. A pressure sensor senses the pressure of the perfusion liquid downstream of the pump and upstream of the outlet. A controller controls the output of the pump responsive to the pressure, so as to keep the pressure of the liquid reaching the organ substantially constant. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20090243878 | Radio frequency transmitter and receiver system and apparatus - A frequency transmitter and receiver system and apparatus to facilitate communication, care and intervention during critical events. The system communicates either directly or indirectly with medical monitors and sensors, which measure and collect a subject's physiological data and vital signs information. The system communicates with a two-way mobile communication device in order to help facilitate transmission and/or reception of information. When a critical event is detected, a radio frequency transmitter and receiver apparatus can communicate to a two-way mobile communication device that is configured to communicate with the monitor to transmit data and location coordinates of the subject to the service provider, and it initiates a conference call with emergency contacts to facilitate aid to the subject. The radio frequency transmitter and receiver apparatus may include a speaker and GPS technology. It may also include self-activating features wherein critical data are transmitted to the subject and contacts during emergency events. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100003679 | ASSESSMENT OF CELLULAR COMPOSITION AND FRACTIONAL VIABILITY AND USES THEREOF - A method of assessing cellular composition and fractional viability that can be predictive of post-transplant cell potency and transplantation outcome, comprises identifying cellular composition and assessing cellular viability. This has particular importance in the field of tissue and cell transplantation, cell therapy and regenerative medicine, providing a method for tissue and cell characterization, viability and potency testing, that could be useful for the definition of product release criteria for research and clinical applications. | 01-07-2010 |

| 20100333194 | System, Method, and Apparatus for Capturing, Securing, Sharing, Retrieving, and Searching Data - This present invention relates to a system, method and apparatus for scientists and researchers and others to capture, secure, share, retrieve and search captured data. Said system and method is able to: fully-integrate hardware and software, required to seamlessly capture data inputs; combine edit and display functions from devices into one single edit and display platform; compile captured inputs from devices into text-searchable and tag-able data that can be displayed, edited and searched on one platform; compile captured inputs from devices into text-searchable and tag-able data that can be searchable by using free-text search, advanced search modules, or a combination thereof; provide advanced search modules that can search based on embedded text in files, tags tied to images or files, parallel image search and other intelligent parameter-based search formats; and can be provided as a hosted application, available via a wire line or wireless on-demand service, also referred to as Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery method. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110020856 | PERIFUSION DEVICE - A perifusion device includes at least one sample container for cells, the sample container having an inlet and an outlet. The container receives test liquid through the inlet and discharges the liquid through the outlet. A manifold having a plurality of liquid inlets, control valves, and liquid outlets can be provided so that the flow of liquids from source containers to the sample containers can be varied and controlled. A receptacle housing has a plurality of receptacles for receiving fluid from the outlet of the sample container. A drive is connected to the receptacle housing for moving the receptacle housing such that liquid samples are collected sequentially from the outlet of the sample containers. A programmable controller can be provided to control movement of the receptacle housing at predetermined times, and to record data identifying liquid samples in the receptacles. The test liquid includes at least one stimuli for the cells, which can be the presence, absence, or concentration of a compound in the liquid, or a physical property of the liquid such as temperature. The liquid collected in the receptacles is analyzed to determine the response of the cells to the stimuli. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110021172 | System and Method for Transmitting User Data Received by an Authorized Approver - This present invention relates to a system, method, and apparatus for an authorized approver (AA) to receive and transmit information to contacts of an end user or others. The authorized approvers may receive, for example, voice, data or video or a combination thereof from the end user. Said authorized approver may view the received information on a back-end server or on a telecommunications device including but not limited to a mobile device or mobile internet device. The authorized approvers may retransmit the end user data to one or more contacts of the end user. Before such retransmission, the authorized approver, may amend, summarize, modify, tag, or otherwise edit the end user information before sending it on to the end user contacts. | 01-27-2011 |
