Appl. No.:

12/227843

Assignee:

Nanospectra Biosciences, Inc. - Houston TX

International Classification:

A61M 37/00
A61M 36/14
A61K 51/00
G01N 33/53

US Classification:

604 502, 604 504, 427 117, 435 72, 435 723

Abstract:

Methods and devices are provided for the extracorporeal ablation of target cells circulating in blood of an organism. Exogenous material introduced into the blood preferentially associates with target cells (e. g. cancer cells, bacteria, viruses) in the blood. An extracorporeal continuous flow pathway accesses the patient's blood to apply an external energy source to the blood at an ex vivo ablation device in a portion of the extracorporeal continuous flow pathway. The exogenous material interact with the applied energy so as to result in the damage or death of the target cells. The blood is then returned to the body in a continuous-flow pattern. By applying the energy while the blood is in the ex vivo ablation device, shielding of the target cells by the body is reduced and detrimental effects on the organs and tissues of the body are avoided or mitigated.

International Classification:

A01N 1/00

US Classification:

435 11

Abstract:

A method for processing and preserving an acellular collagen-based tissue matrix for transplantation is disclosed. The method includes the steps of processing biological tissues with a stabilizing solution to reduce procurement damage, treatment with a processing solution to remove cells, treatment with a cryoprotectant solution followed by freezing, drying, storage and rehydration under conditions that preclude functionally significant damage and reconstitution with viable cells.

Appl. No.:

13/138481

Inventors:

Michael A. Sharp - Porter TX, US
Christopher Coleman - Germantown TN, US

Assignee:

Patent Holding, LLC - Porter TX

International Classification:

H04W 4/00
H04W 88/02

US Classification:

455417, 455566, 4554221, 455567, 4555501

Abstract:

A disclosed wireless phone includes a user interface having at least one button, a processor coupled to the user interface to detect a user's activation of the button, and software stored in a memory including: an acquisition process to obtain a secondary phone number in response to the user's activation of the button, and a display process to display the secondary phone number to the user. A described telecommunications server provides the secondary phone number to the wireless phone, and includes a forwarding process that forwards incoming phone calls directed to the secondary phone number to the wireless phone with modified caller-id information. A described method of enabling anonymous reception of phone calls includes automatically determining a programmed phone number of a wireless phone, and providing a button that causes the wireless phone to automatically obtain a secondary phone number.
