An adipose tissue sizing device includes a first tube having a hollow inner portion, a sidewall radially extending around the hollow inner portion, a first end, and a second end opposite the first end. An inlet interface in fluid communication with the hollow inner portion of the first tube is configured to receive adipose tissue particles, and to allow the adipose tissue particles to pass into the hollow inner portion of the first tube. A filtering assembly, having a plurality of apertures therein, is positioned in the hollow inner portion of the first tube in a flow pathway of the adipose tissue particles, and is configured to resize the adipose tissue particles passing through the apertures according to a size of the apertures. An outlet interface in fluid communication with the hollow inner portion of the first tube is configured to allow the resized adipose tissue particles to pass out of the hollow inner portion of the first tube.

Systems, devices, and methods of the present disclosure assist with management of tubes and hoses during surgical procedures. The systems, devices, and methods provide for the proper opening and closing of tubes to facilitate performance of steps in a surgical procedure. Systems, devices, and methods of the present disclosure control fluid delivery to and from a medical device, including devices for tissue processing and cleaning.

Methods of marking paper products and marked paper products are provided. Some methods include irradiating the paper product to alter the functionalization of the paper.

A continuous sterilizing apparatus circulates, through members constituting a flow channel, a sterilizing medium that sterilizes the members to sterilize the members, circulates a sterilizing liquid subjected to sterilization treatment through pipes, performs a series of pieces of treatment including heating treatment, holding treatment, and cooling treatment on the sterilizing liquid, controls a flow rate, a temperature, and a pressure to be preset conditions, and switches a liquid to be circulated through the flow channel from the sterilizing liquid to a liquid to be sterilized.

Algae harvesting and cultivating systems and methods for producing high concentrations of algae product with minimal energy. In an embodiment, a dead-end filtration system and method includes at least one tank and a plurality hollow fiber membranes positioned in the at least one tank. An algae medium is pulled through the hollow fiber membranes such that a retentate and a permeate are produced.

Biomass (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) is processed to produce useful products, such as fuels. For example, systems are described that can use feedstock materials, such as cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic materials, to produce ethanol and/or butanol, e.g., by fermentation.
