20110083331Apparel Fit Guide - Each year thousands of millions of items of apparel are purchased. Within a large percentage of these transactions they are undertaken either by those for whom trying the item on prior to purchase is extremely difficult within the retail establishment or where the person they are buying for is absent. It is a common occurrence for additional time, effort and expense to be incurred taking the purchased item back to replace it or have a refund as the item does not fit as intended. by people for themselves or for others who are not present during the selection. Accordingly it would be advantageous to have a simple device to indicate the fit of items of apparel for the individual for whom the items are being purchased. Such a device is presented according to embodiments of the invention.04-14-2011

20080234654Apparatus and methods for making, storing, and administering freeze-dried materials such as freeze-dried plasma - A vessel receives a liquid material, which is freeze-dried in situ within the vessel. A gas permeable material carried by the vessel provides gas transport for sublimation during drying. After freeze drying, an oxygen-free inert gas is introduced into the vessel through the gas permeable material, to occupy the interior of the vessel with the freeze-dried material. The gas permeable material is covered, to trap the oxygen-free inert gas within the vessel with the freeze-dried material. The freeze-dried material is stored in the entrapped oxygen-free inert gas within the vessel for a storage period. The vessel receives a reconstituting liquid for mixing with the freeze-dried material, and conveys the reconstituted freeze-dried material from the vessel for administration to an individual.09-25-2008
