| 20130098831 | MATERIAL EFFICIENCY AND FABRICATION OF MEMBRANE ELEMENTS - Membrane elements that use multiple membrane leaves may have a limited total active membrane area due to an increased diameter at the ends of the element. Membrane leaves may comprise a permeate carrier positioned between one or more membrane sheets. Adhesive may be used to seal one or more edges of the membrane leaf. The membrane sheets, permeate carrier and the adhesive contribute to the thickness of the edges of the membrane leaf and the diameter at the ends of the element. A reduced thickness of the edges of the permeate carrier may reduce the diameter at the ends of an element. Another permeate carrier sheet may also be used that is distanced from at least one edge of the membrane sheet so the permeate carrier sheet does not contribute towards the increased diameter at the ends of the element. | 04-25-2013 |

Adhesive is applied to the side edges to form a seal when a membrane leaf is formed around the permeate carrier. After the membrane leaf is wound around a central tube, the side edges extend in a spiral around the central tube. The transition between the side edges and the central part of the permeate carrier helps prevent adhesive from flowing into the central part of the permeate carrier. The reduced thickness of the side edges also reduces an increase in diameter at the ends of an element that might otherwise be caused by the adhesive. | 04-25-2013 |

| 20150191704 | POXVIRUS-PLASMODIUM RECOMBINANTS, COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING SUCH RECOMBINANTS, USES THEREOF, AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING SAME - The invention provides a recombinant or synthetic or engineered or non-naturally occurring poxvirus that contains and expresses DNA encoding a heterologous or exogenous antigen, epitope or immunogen and Flagellin or an operable binding portion thereof. The poxvirus can contain or be engineered to contain and express vaccinia host range gene K1L. The poxvirus can be attenuated as to mammals, e.g., NYVAC, NYVAC.1, NYVAC.2, avipox, canarypox, fowlpox, ALVAC, TROVAC, MVA, or MVA-BN. The invention also provides methods for inducing an immunological response involving the poxvirus, and compositions containing the poxvirus. The antigen, epitope or immunogen that the poxvirus expresses can be at least one | 07-09-2015 |

| 20080241074 | MULTI-USE MULTIMODAL IMAGING CHELATES - Cyclen-based chelates can be used as contrast agents for multi-modal imaging of tissue cells. The cyclen-based chelates are preferably polyazamacrocyclic molecules formed from 1,4,7,10 tetraazacyclododecane (“cyclen”) having varying chelating ions, phosphoester chains, and light harvesting moieties. By changing the chelating ion, phosphoester chain length and/or the light harvesting moiety different imaging techniques, such as MRI, CT, fluorescence and absorption, x-ray and NIR, may be employed to image the tissue cells. Additionally, the cyclen-based chelates may be conjugated to provide for site-specific delivery of the cyclen-based chelate to the desired tissue cells. The cyclen-based chelates may also be delivered to the tissue cells by attaching the cyclen-based to a polymeric delivery vehicle. Although these cyclen-based chelates have a wide variety of application, the preferred use is for imaging of cancer cells, such as brain cancer, for improving resection of a cancerous tissue. | 10-02-2008 |
