Tangential-Flow Filtration System

US Patent:
6555006, Apr 29, 2003
Filed:
Apr 12, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/121360
Inventors:
Robert D. van Reis - Redwood City CA
Assignee:
Genentech, Inc. - South San Francisco CA
International Classification:
B01D 6100
US Classification:
210641, 210636, 21032169, 21032175, 21032184, 2101952, 2102572
Abstract:
The present invention includes a system and method for transferring a selected solute species from a fluid mixture to a fluid media. The system of the present invention includes a convergent channel for passing a fluid mixture containing a selected species tangentially across the first surface of a porous membrane. A fluid media is directed to flow tangentially over the second surface of the membrane. As the fluid mixture and the fluid media flow on opposite sides of the membrane, the selected species traverses the membrane leaving the fluid mixture and entering the fluid media. The volumetric loss to the fluid mixture associated with the loss of the selected species is compensated for by the convergency of the channel. As a result a constant velocity is maintained over the membrane, maximizing the selectivity of the filtration process.

Context Aware Data Presentation

US Patent:
8412675, Apr 2, 2013
Filed:
Feb 24, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/362488
Inventors:
Billy Alvarado - Redwood City CA, US
Ido Ariel - Redwood City CA, US
Robert Paul van Gent - Redwood City CA, US
Assignee:
Seven Networks, Inc. - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
G06F 7/00, G06F 17/00
US Classification:
707616, 707627, 707736, 707737, 707781
Abstract:
A context aware data application presents information about a first user's contact means and methodologies. The application organizes, filters and present the information taking into account multiple inputs regarding the specific context and the relationship and preferred communication means between the first user and other users seeking to contact the first user. The information allows the users seeking to make contact to quickly take an action that is expected given the context of the first user as presenting the most relevant data allows the contacting users to take actions quickly and effectively.

Context Based Action

US Patent:
2008013, Jun 5, 2008
Filed:
Oct 28, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/925959
Inventors:
Billy Alvarado - Menlo Park CA, US
Ido Ariel - Palo Alto CA, US
Robert Paul van Gent - Redwood City CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709218
Abstract:
Means for allowing users to manage and make productive use of PIM data are provided. User status is determined by certain contextual indicia whereby other parties may contact the user through the most appropriate means as reflected by that contextual indicia. Information concerning presence, status, location, availability and so forth are aggregated from various PIM sources and communicated to other parties who initiate contact with the user in light of the aggregated information. Various groups and permissions may be implemented with regard to the collection and sharing of information.

US Patent:
5490937, Feb 13, 1996
Filed:
Jul 6, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/271223
Inventors:
Robert D. van Reis - Redwood City CA
Assignee:
Genentech, Inc. - South San Francisco CA
International Classification:
B01D 6122
US Classification:
210637
Abstract:
Processes and apparati are provided for separating species of interest from a mixture containing them which comprises subjecting the mixture to tangential-flow filtration, wherein the filtration membrane preferably has a pore size that retains species with a size up to about 10 microns, and the flux is maintained at a level ranging from about 5 % up to 100 % of transition point flux.
