No. 11/552,778 filed on Oct. 25, 2006, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a cross-sectional view of an extruded media or injection molded media for supporting growth biology within a biological reactor wherein the plane of the cross-sectional view is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and the view is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the cross-sectional view and substantially along the longitudinal axis of the media;
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the left side view of the extruded media or injection molded media of FIG. 1, the right side view of the media being a mirror image; and,
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an isometric view of the extruded media or injection molded media of FIG. 1.
The broken lines shown in FIGS. 1-3 are included for the purpose of illustrating those portions of the surface of the claimed media design where surface features form no part of the claimed media design and represent only the environment of the claimed media design. None of the broken lines forms a part of the claimed media.
