20120197810 | Selecting Packaging and Coolant Systems for Shipment of Biological Products - Disclosed is a process of selecting of a container and temperature-control system, such that biological products (including blood) requiring maintenance within a specified range of temperatures are so maintained during shipment. The process requires a prediction of the maximum period of shipment, and the predicted ambient temperature ranges and time of exposure thereto for the system during the period of shipment. With that information, a system of container(s) with temperature-control agents including dry ice, ice, frozen gel packs or a phase change material, is selected. | 08-02-2012 |
20120266564 | FABRICATING A FLEXIBLE RAPID BLOOD COOLING SYSTEM - A new blood unit cooling system was designed to cool blood rapidly to about 22° C. and maintain it at about that temperature, even in ambient temperature extremes, for several hours. The system incorporating a preferred eutectic solution including 98% -dodecanol, 1.5% myristyl alcohol and 0.5% 1-decanol (having, a melting point of about 23° C.) contained in a sealed flexible polymer layer, was used to cool whole blood-filled bags. The preferred design uses inner and outer containers, each made of transparent polyethylene sheets, where the inner compartments are filled with the solution and sealed, and then placed into each compartment in an outer container, wherein two compartments in the outer container are separated by a flattened and sealed portion of the polyethylene | 10-25-2012 |
20130255847 | FABRICATING A PHASE CHANGE BLOOD COOLING SYSTEM - A new blood unit cooling system was designed to cool blood rapidly to about 22° C. and maintain it at about that temperature, even in ambient temperature extremes, for several hours.

20080314850 | Shelf System Comprising a Support Element That is Infinitely Adjustable in a Wall Rail - Disclosed is an infinitely adjustable shelf system comprising at least one vertically mounted wall rail that is embodied as a profiled part and is provided with at least one first vertical groove facing the wall and at least one second vertical groove facing away from the wall, as well as at least one support element which is adjustable within the wall rail, can be fastened to the wall rail in a selectable position, and is fitted with at least one lateral protrusion at the rear end facing the wall, said at least one protrusion extending forward, away from the wall. The forward end of the protrusion is non-positively retained between the first and the second vertical groove along with the rear end stressed in a horizontal position of the support element while allowing the support element to be moved freely inside the wall rail when the support element is in a raised position at the front. | 12-25-2008 |
20090039222 | SHELF BASE CARRIER COMPRISING DISTANCING ELEMENTS - The invention relates to a shelf base carrier which can be suspended or inserted into a vertical wall rail, comprising a lower holding section equipped with a bearing surface for the shelf base which extends from a wall in a horizontal manner on said upper edge, and a clamping element for clamping the shelf base to the rear end which is oriented towards the wall, and which extends above and away from the wall. According to the invention, a lower distancing element can be fixed in a separating manner to the holding section and an upper distancing element can be fixed in a separating manner to the clamping element. The lower and/or the upper distancing elements can be fixed in a first and a second position. In a first position, a first, smaller distance and in the second position, a second larger distance are provided between the bearing surface and/or the lower edge of the clamping element and the contact surface of the respective distancing element is determined by the held shelf base. By combining the first and second positions of the upper and the lower distancing element, the shelf bases can be fixed at various thicknesses, for example, 8 mm, 10 mm and 14 mm. | 02-12-2009 |
20090050592 | WALL RAIL SYSTEM - The invention relates to a wall rail system for a shelf system or similar, comprising at least one wall rail which is embodied as a U-shaped profile, comprising a rear part which is secured to a wall, two lateral limbs which are oriented away from the wall, one rear-sided cavity which extends in the longitudinal direction on the side of the rear part which is oriented towards the wall, and at least one connecting element for connecting two wall rails which push against each other in the longitudinal direction, said connecting element being received in a connected state of the two wall rails in the rear-sided cavity. The connecting element reliably connects, fixes, and aligns the rails in relation to each other without engaging in the usable space between the lateral limbs and the rear side of the U-profile. | 02-26-2009 |
20110155678 | WALL RAIL SYSTEM - The invention relates to a wall rail system for a shelf system or similar, comprising at least one wall rail which is embodied as a U-shaped profile, comprising a rear part which is secured to a wall, two lateral limbs which are oriented away from the wall, one rear-sided cavity which extends in the longitudinal direction on the side of the rear part which is oriented towards the wall, and at least one connecting element for connecting two wall rails which push against each other in the longitudinal direction, said connecting element being received in a connected state of the two wall rails in the rear-sided cavity. The connecting element reliably connects, fixes, and aligns the rails in relation to each other without engaging in the usable space between the lateral limbs and the rear side of the U-profile. | 06-30-2011 |
