Adherent cells are seeded and propagated on the surface of the rods. Each rod is accommodated with spacer devices that serve to make it immobile and ensure uniform access to liquid growth medium while minimizing abrasive damage to shear-sensitive cells. Spacer devices of various designs allow the rods to be packed and anchored into bioreactors, e.g., perfusion chambers with flow-through ports or into closed roller bottle-type chambers. Simple monomeric designs of the rods and spacer devices allow for relative ease of manufacture and assembly including solid or hollow rods or supports constructed of fibers or strings consisting of flexible tissue culture treated material that is held fast by threading or knotting between suitable spacer devices with eyelets, holes or other anchoring fixtures. In some embodiments, the rods are composed of tissue culture-treated plastic packed into culture chambers as prepackaged, sterile, disposable single use items. | 11-17-2011 |

| 20090258595 | System and Method for Managing Applications and Media Content of a Wireless Communication Device - A method for a wireless communication system for providing media objects is described. Channels of media content are collected from at least one media provider. A list of the channels of media content is then stored. Next, the list of the channel of media content is provided to a remote device. Channel selections are then received from the remote device. Thereafter, the channels of media content corresponding to the channel selections are delivered to the remote device. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090258683 | System and Method for Managing Applications and Media Content of a Wireless Communication Device - A wireless communication device for providing channel information is described. The wireless communication device comprises a housing having a first display and a second display, a memory configured to store a plurality of media objects that may be shown by the second display, and a processor coupled to the second display. The housing has a first position exposing the first and second displays and a second position covering the first display and exposing the second display. The processor is configured to change operation of the second display from one media object to another. | 10-15-2009 |

| 20110113960 | BIODEGRADABLE LITTER AMENDMENT MATERIAL FROM AGRICULTURAL RESIDUES - The present invention relates to a biodegradable material for controlling ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, odor, and/or volatile organic compounds emissions from organic wastes. The biodegradable material in accordance with the present invention may be used to control, reduce, or prevent noxious emissions from organic wastes from, for example, animals and animal production, food and food production, pets, composting, organic fertilizer, biosolids, and potting soil mixtures to name a few. The present invention also relates to sachets, bioscrubbers, biofilters, and biomass filters comprising a biodegradable material for controlling such emissions. The present invention further relates to processes for producing and processes for using a biodegradable material to control noxious emissions from organic waste. In particular, the present invention is useful with respect to managing animal wastes, including, for example, pet, poultry, swine, dairy, horse, other livestock, other animal, and human wastes. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20080245203 | Method and apparatus for fast deploying and retrieving of towed bodies - In a method and apparatus for controlling the deployment of a towline connecting a mooring craft to an ejected object comprising the steps of monitoring velocity to determine when a point for optimum braking has been achieved and then engaging a brake system to retard deployment of the towline, a DC motor augments and controls the brake system. The DC motor further controls the retrieval of the object. A cutter mechanism uses a first blade to grip the towing cable to maintain tension thereon as a second blade cuts the cable. A spring biased boom in combination with spring biased fins on the ejected object rapidly deploys the object from its storage housing. A locking mechanism secures the deployment mechanism in a stable locked position upon the object reaching its fully extended position. | 10-09-2008 |
