20120329122 | ULTRASOUND AND ACOUSTOPHORESIS FOR COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF OLEAGINOUS MICROORGANISMS - Microorganisms such as microalgae are collected and separated from a host medium such as water. Cellular walls and membranes of the microorganisms are then ruptured to release their lipids using a lipid extraction unit. Thereafter, the lipids from the host medium are collected and separated using a lipid collection and separation unit. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described. | 12-27-2012 |
20140080207 | ULTRASOUND AND ACOUSTOPHORESIS FOR COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF OLEAGINOUS MICROORGANISMS - Microorganisms such as microalgae are collected and separated from a host medium such as water. Cellular walls and membranes of the microorganisms are then ruptured to release their lipids using a lipid extraction unit. Thereafter, the lipids from the host medium are collected and separated using a lipid collection and separation unit. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described. | 03-20-2014 |
20150191716 | ACOUSTOPHORESIS DEVICE WITH DUAL ACOUSTOPHORETIC CHAMBER - An acoustophoresis device includes an acoustic chamber with a piezoelectric element located within its volume. The piezoelectric element vibrates and generates acoustic standing waves from both sides, so that particles can be separated from fluid passing through the acoustic chamber. This permits the element to be cooled more efficiently, reducing transient heat loads in the fluid traveling through the device. | 07-09-2015 |
20160002070 | ACOUSTOPHORETIC DEVICE WITH UNIFORM FLUID FLOW - An acoustophoresis device which includes a substantially vertical flow path of the fluid mixture in order to improve separation of particles/secondary fluid from a primary fluid is disclosed. The vertical flow path reduces velocity non-uniformities in the acoustic chamber resulting from gravity forces. The device includes an acoustic chamber in which multidimensional acoustic standing waves are generated. The fluid can be introduced into the acoustic chamber using a dump diffuser in which a plurality of inlets enter near the bottom of the acoustic chamber such that flow symmetry reduces both, gravity driven flow non-uniformities, and any flow interference effects between inlet mixture flow into the acoustic chamber and the continuous gravity driven particle cluster drop out. | 01-07-2016 |
20160089620 | ACOUSTOPHORETIC CLARIFICATION OF PARTICLE-LADEN NON-FLOWING FLUIDS - Acoustophoretic devices for separating particles from a non-flowing host fluid are disclosed. The devices include a substantially acoustically transparent container and a separation unit, with the container being placed within the separation unit. An ultrasonic transducer in the separation unit creates a planar or multi-dimensional acoustic standing wave within the container, trapping particles disposed within the non-flowing fluid and causing them to coalesce or agglomerate, then separate due to buoyancy or gravity forces. | 03-31-2016 |

20080206144 | MDR1 VARIANTS AND METHODS FOR THEIR USE - This invention provides the identification of a truncation polymorphism of the mdr1 gene that is linked to ivermectin sensitivity in subjects, such as collies. Also provided are methods for detecting drug transport sensitivity in a subject, and animal models and in vitro cell systems using cells from animals having an mdr1 truncation. | 08-28-2008 |
20110038944 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF HEPATOBILIARY DISEASE AND ASSOCIATED DISORDERS - Provided are nucleic acids comprising ABCB4 gene mutations (e.g., insertions, deletions, frame shift, missense) (e.g., canine ABCB4 1583_1584G) that result in prematurely terminated and/or inactive ABCB4 proteins. A significant association (P=1.54E-7) of the mutations was detected between gallbladder mucoceles-affected dogs, providing methods for detection or diagnosis of a hepatobiliary disease and/or related conditions (e.g., increased mucin secretion, mucinous hyperplasia, gallbladder mucocele, progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (type 3), cholelithiasis, primary biliary cirrhosis, and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy). Compositions and methods for genotyping or screening of test subjects are provided, and have added utility in combination with surgical intervention, selective breeding, and medical or dietary management. Also provided are methods of treatment of dogs with hepatobiliary disease, comprising administration of hydrophilic, less cytotoxic bile acids (e.g., ursodeoxycholate). Methods for screening or testing for therapeutic agents for treatment of human hepatobiliary disease, comprising use of canine test subjects harboring ABCB4 gene mutations are provided. | 02-17-2011 |
