Cigarette lighter using rechargeable AA batteries …

By Stell Cell Research

NiCads have a lower internal resistance than NiMH. SLA even lower.

Having said that, I'd approach this as an academic exercise rather than as a practical project opportunity

This page http://www.buchmann.ca/article4-page1.asp (and I think they mean milliohms rather than milliwatts in the table) gives you some indication of internal resistances for cell types. (remember to divide these figures by the number of cells to get the per-cell internal resistance)

I think you'd have a better chance with D cells (certainly SLA cells are available in that size)

A major issue would be the connection to the cells. You would have to use cells that are terminated with solder tags rather than bare cells -- the connection resistance would be far too high.

You would need to look at the datasheets on individual cells to determine if the discharge rates are possible for the cell.

Another issue would be that you would almost certainly need to generate another higher voltage source to power your regulator. It is difficult to imagine any of the more efficient designs starting up on their own from 1.5V. You might need a more specialised "joule thief" type of inverter to generate an initial 12V rail to power the main inverter before using the generated 12V rail for continuous operation (or not -- you could use 2 regulators, it's not like a bit of inefficiency here would be a real issue).

More practically, you may be better off creating your own specialised "cigarette lighter" from a coil of nichrome wire of sufficient length to glow red hot from just a 1.2V supply. Since this device would be small enough to turn on when brought to the cigarette, it need not require the relatively large thermal mass of a conventional car cigarette lighter.

I would estimate that you could probably create a device that used perhaps only 10W (i.e. 8A) and would only need to be operated for a couple of seconds. The major issue here would be the contact resistance and the switch. It may be sensible to use a small inverter to provide gate voltage for a high current mosfet that has a very low RDSon.

At a minimum, I think you'd still be looking at a sub-C sized cell.

OK, here's the specs I found on a sub-C cell. It is rated for up to 30A discharge. http://www.gpbatteries.com/pic/330SCH-ZRS1161rev2.pdf Note the voltage at 30A, also note that the effective capacity is much lower, still it looks like you'd get 6 minutes use at 30A which is pretty good.

This page has more battery types listed: http://www.rechargeable-battery-review.com/data-sheets/battery-specs/gp-battery-data-sheets.html

From a quick look, it appears that the AA sized cells top out at a recommended max of 6.6A. (D cells go to 50A)

Doris White, 1923 2019

Doris May Chinery White, 95, died January 5, 2019, in Rocky Face, Georgia. Doris was the youngest of two daughters born to Daniel Henry and Dora May Decker Chinery on June 3, 1923, on Staten Island, one of the five boroughs of New York City. Around the age of three years, Doris lost her mother to influenza. Raised by their father, with the help of nearby maternal aunts, Doris and her sister, Constance Henrietta (Connie), enjoyed a happy, comfortable childhood in their home on Rainbow Avenue.

In 1942 Doris graduated from Port Richmond High School, just months after her beloved father died of a stroke. She and her sister were required by circumstances to support themselves, though Doris still managed to take some courses at Seton Hall College. During World War II, Doris worked in the Empire State Building for the Electric Boat Company, which produced PT boats for the Navy. After a time, Doris older sister Connie pursued a career overseas, working for an electric company, Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company. Connie never married and died in 1973 in New York City.

Following WW II, Doris was introduced to William C. White by her friend and his younger sister, Catherine (Kitty). A graduate of the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, and a returning Army officer who had served in England for five years, Bill White was the son of a New York City physician who practiced medicine from an office in his brownstone home in the Irish neighborhood of Hells Kitchen near Times Square. Bill and his sister Kitty were among the youngest of ten siblings; their oldest sister, Bessie, was a nun in the order of the Cenacle Sisters.

On June 14, 1947, Doris and Bill were married in Manhattan, New York City, and they enjoyed over 50 years of marriage, until Bill died on August 28, 1997, in Thomaston, Georgia. In their early married life, they lived in Manhattan and also in Danbury, Connecticut, and in Freeport, New York, on Long Island, as Bill pursued a business career. In 1955, they moved briefly to Jacksonville, Florida, and then on to Atlanta, Georgia, where they lived in the Chamblee and Dunwoody areas.

In 1964, Doris and Bill moved their family to Yatesville, Georgia, seventy miles south of Atlanta, in Upson County (west of Macon). There, Bill began an almost 20-year career with the Federal Paper Board Company in the county seat of Thomaston; he also served a term on the Yatesville City Council. As her children grew older, Doris worked in a clerical capacity at the Marist School in Atlanta, Upson Regional Hospital in Thomaston, and Shallowford Hospital in Atlanta.

Doris was the mother of 7 children: Frances Mary (deceased as a newly born infant), Daniel C. (Sarah Wynn), Mary A., William C. Jr. (Penny), Paul J. (Sue), Theodore M., and John F. (Carolyn). Also known as Gram (while her husband was known as Pop), Doris delighted in her role as grandmother to eleven grandchildren: Leslie Carter, Chas White, Katie White, Kelie White, Kimberly Mann, Kristin White, Erin White, Garrett Mann, Gina White, Jeff Mann, and Henry White. Doris is also survived by nine great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Bill and Doris White Scholarship at Gordon State College (www.gordonstate.edu/fndscholarships and http://www.gordonstate.edu/alumni/give-to-gordon.html). As the parents of six children who were educated in the Upson County, Georgia, Public School System, Bill and Doris White developed a deep respect for the rural teachers and administrators who made the education of their children such a rich and rewarding experience. Realizing the importance for all students to continue onto higher education and realizing that many rural students are economically challenged and that not all students reach their full academic potential in high school, it is the intention of the Bill and Doris White Scholarship to provide financial assistance and recognition to students who might not otherwise receive it.

Donations may be made on-line or mailed to Gordon State College Foundation at: GSC Foundation, 419 College Drive, Barnesville, GA 30204. Donation checks may be made out to the Gordon State College Foundation. In memory of Doris White may be written on the FOR line of the check or a note may be enclosed with the donation indicating the intended scholarship.

By Stell Cell Research

Hi, I would like to express my extreme pleasure in Anne's product's. I have very sensitive skin and Anne's products are the only products that I have been able to use that do not cause irritation and/ or further damage. I could be wrong by a year but I do believe I have been a client for at least ten years. I would highly recommend her services and products to everyone.. I promise you will not be disappointed. I use radiance, infusion, cell tight and the cleansing gel. All 4 of these products either singularly or 2 or 3 or all 4 in the same day at the right time have an amazing ability to be effective for all the necessary needs my skin requires. In addition, I have tried many other products spending thousands of dollars, prior to meeting Anne. I am perfectly happy and have not tried another product since. In addition, after so many years of raw skin, blotchy, uneven, and ruddy red skin, I am pain free with beautiful healthy skin. Finally, I am stopped on a regular basis with compliments about my skin and what do I do. I say YNS that the answer and I share Anne's number. Natasha and Anne thank you so much. God Bless you and your company. Beat Regards, Tammyread more

Houston Platelet Rich Plasma – houstonsportsmedicine.com

By Platelet Rich Plasma Injections

What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)? It is an emerging biologic tool in orthopedic and regenerative medicine. Platelets may be small in size but they are an intricate part of the bodys healing process. When injury occurs, one of the first repair cells to travel to the injury site are platelets. Platelets are rich in many different growth factors. These growth factors help attract other repair cells to the injured area. These repair cells are thought to stimulate the healing process. By increasing the concentration of platelets (platelet rich plasma PRP) in the injury site (tendon, ligament, muscle tear or joint) physicians attempt to encourage tissue healing. If you are looking for platelet rich plasma injections in Houston, youve come to the right place! We have years of experience in platelet rich plasma treatments and use the latest procedures including advanced ultrasound-guided injection techniques.

The centrifuge separates and concentrates the plasma up to 10X normal solution.

How is the Procedure Process?First, blood is drawn from the patients arm, and is placed into a special centrifuge which concentrates the platelets up to 10X baseline strength. Once the platelets are concentrated they can be called platelet rich plasma (PRP). The platelet concentration can be customized depending upon the physician directed treatment goals. Through specialized training from the American Association of Orthopedic Medicine and years of experience, our physicians will determine a customized treatment plan. State of the art ultrasound injection techniques can be used to guide the injection of the PRP. These powerful platelets work to begin the growth factor induced healing process.

How is the Recovery?Following the PRP injection, patients are instructed to rest for the remainder of the day. A normal part of the healing process may involve discomfort or pain at the target site for a few days or so. It can take weeks for proper healing and tissue remodeling to occur. Physical therapy and proper nutrition can aid in healing. Platelet rich plasma is a powerful new tool that uses the patients own biological factors to aid in tissue recovery and repair. Multiple research studies and thousands of procedures have been performed nationwide since its inception.

Is All PRP the Same? At Houston Spine and Sports Medicinewe are leaders in non-surgical musculoskeletal treatments including platelet rich plasma in Houston. Our training and experience in PRP is exceptional. With our experience in diverse cases, post PRP rehabilitation, PRP based nutrition and advanced PRP/ultrasound training, we are committed to providing the best non-surgical musculoskeletal treatment options to you and your family.

What Are Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells? | Intro to the …

By Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

The team of Japanese doctors, led by cardiac surgeon Yoshiki Sawa at Osaka University, will useiPS cells to create a sheet of 100 million heart-muscle cells.It will be the second clinical application of iPS cells in Japan and third worldwide (RIKEN, Cynata Therapeutics, and now, Osaka University).

The growing popularity of iPSC technology has also been attracting investments from the commercial sector. Notably, in December 2016, Bayer AG and Versant Ventures formed a start-up named BlueRock Therapeutics focused on iPSCs therapy. The company raised funding of USD $225 million, the largest iPSC financing round ever.

The largest company manufacturing iPS cells isCellular Dynamics International, a Fujifilm company. The company is widely known as Fujifilm CDI.

Fujifilm CDI manufactures biologically relevant human cells derived from iPS cells. Its iCell and donor-specific MyCell Products are highly pure, highly reproducible, and available in industrial quantity to enable drug discovery, toxicity testing, stem cell banking, and cell therapy development.

Within Europe, the largest iPS cell developer and manufacturer is Ncardia, a company formed in September 2017 by the merger of Axiogenesis and Pluriomics.Ncardia is the largest supplier in Europe and the second largest iPS cell company in the world after Fujifilm CDI.

Ncardia is a private company with operations in Europe and the US that produces and commercializes high-quality, fully functional hiPSC derived cardiovascular and neuronal cell types. It also develops electrophysiology, biochemistry,and contraction based assays to support drug development and discovery.

There are also dozens of other suppliers of iPS cell lines, differentiated cell types, kits, assays, reprogramming services, and more.

Today, methods for commercializing iPS cells are still being explored, as clinical studies investigating them remain low in number. One of the greatest challenges is to establish standards across the industry for cell quality and functionality in order to protect patient safety.

Types of Stem Cells A Closer Look at Stem Cells

By Embryonic Stem Cells

Tissue-specific stem cells

Tissue-specific stem cells (also referred to assomaticoradultstem cells) are more specialized than embryonic stem cells. Typically, these stem cells can generate different cell types for the specific tissue or organ in which they live.

For example, blood-forming (orhematopoietic) stem cells in the bone marrow can give rise to red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. However, blood-forming stem cells dont generate liver or lung or brain cells, and stem cells in other tissues and organs dont generate red or white blood cells or platelets.

Some tissues and organs within your body contain small caches of tissue-specific stem cells whose job it is to replace cells from that tissue that are lost in normal day-to-day living or in injury, such as those in your skin, blood, and the lining of your gut.

Tissue-specific stem cells can be difficult to find in the human body, and they dont seem to self-renew in culture as easily as embryonic stem cells do. However, study of these cells has increased our general knowledge about normal development, what changes in aging, and what happens with injury and disease.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) : Dr. Jonathon …

By Platelet Rich Plasma Injections

Similar in theory to prolotherapy in terms of creating a healing inflammatory response, PRP therapy involves injecting a patients own concentrated platelets to initiate healing in damages tissues and joints.

Although a relatively new therapy, studies are showing excellent results in using platelet rich plasma to heal damaged ligaments, tendons and muscles. Platelets are often thought of as clotting cells, causing blood to thicken and form scabs after injury; however, platelets serve many other important functions. These small cells are responsible for attracting white blood cells into injured areas to clean up damaged and dead cells, which often produce non-productive stagnant swelling and lead to chronic inflammation or tendonitis. This chronic damage, once thought to be an active inflammatory problem, hence tendonitis, has recently been renamed tendonosis because of the lack of inflammation found. Thus, the area is prevented from healing because the swelling is non-productive and must be resolved for recovery to proceed. Platelets injected into the area not only draw white blood cells in to clean up, they also release growth factors that are directly responsible for tissue regeneration.

PRP is not a new therapy as it has been used for years in surgical centers to improve the success of bone grafting, dental surgery and cosmetic surgery. More recently, doctors began to use PRP in athletic injuries to speed healing. The results were so promising that the technique caught on not just for acute injuries but also for chronic pain as well. All joints, ligaments and tendons are treatable areas whether the problem is acute or chronic. Conditions such as tennis elbow, chronic low back pain, unstable ACL/PCL, pubic symphysis strains, Achilles tendonitis, rotator cuff tears, meniscal tears, osteoarthritis, and neck pain are responding where other therapies have plateaued or failed.

Platelet rich plasma, or PRP, is concentrated blood plasma containing a very high number of platelets. These platelets release growth factors that are vital to initiate and accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. The growth factors increase stem cell production that are vital to repair connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments, help bone regeneration, promote the formation of new blood vessels and stimulate the healing process. The normal concentration of platelets in blood is between 150,000 and 400,000 per micro liter. In PRP, where platelets have been concentrated, the count can exceed 2 million platelets per micro liter. To be considered PRP, the count of platelets must be at least 4x greater than baseline measurements.

Normal Platelet Count

Concentrated Platelet Count

Depending on which area is to be injected, 15-60cc of blood will be drawn from the patients arm. This blood is then spun down to separate the red and white blood cells from the platelets and plasma. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the area that requires healing.

Dr. Berghamer is skilled in using both the Harvest SmartPReP2 Platelet Concentrate System and the Arthrex Angel System.

The PRP process concentrates fibrin, mesenchymal stem cells, and platelets so that each cubic millimeter of solution contains 1.5 to 2 million platelets, resulting in up to a five-fold increase in platelets and bioactive growth factors. Because it is so concentrated, PRP acts as a potent tissue growth stimulant, amplifying the natural process of tissue repair and healing. Studies show that PRP induces the production of new collagen by the fibroblasts, bone and cartilage cells at the site of the injection, rebuilding the joint cartilage and strengthening injured ligaments and tendons. This new collagen is naturally incorporated directly into your existing cartilage and ligaments, making them thicker, stronger and more elastic.

Although cortisone shots may temporarily provide pain relief and reduce inflammation, studies have shown that cortisone can actually weaken tissue. This occurs because cortisone blocks all inflammation, and some inflammation is required for healing. PRP therapy introduces healing factors that promote healthy inflammation that leads to healing. PRP can strengthen tendons and ligaments, in some instances up to 40%.

Hyaluronic injections are very effective at increasing comfort and range of motion in injured joints. It does not, however, provide a mechanism of regeneration and it is necessary to continue injections on a regular basis to maintain benefit. PRP is regenerative, which means it causes the body to grow new ligaments, tendons and joint tissues. Ultimately, this healing will last and the tissues will function like normal healthy tissues.

Compared to dextrose prolotherapy, clinical and anecdotal experience is demonstrating that using PRP as the regenerative injection method creates a much more profound healing effect and results in increased healing in less treatments. Prolotherapy is a very effective and useful therapy, but PRP is especially useful when regular prolotherapy has provided positive results, but recovery has not been ideal. In these cases PRP is often the treatment that will resolve these less responsive or more injured areas.
