The present invention relates generally to a gas sterilizing unit and method of sterilizing a product. More particularly, the invention relates to a gas sterilizing unit where the preconditioning, sterilizing and degassing cycles all occur within a chamber formed by a single corrugated or lightweight structure.
Gas sterilizer units utilize gaseous chemicals for sterilizing products such as plastic, rubber, or the like, which cannot withstand heat sterilization. Also, the sterilizing agents or sterilant are commonly used in the fumigation of spices and antiques, and for sterilizing medical devices. Sterilization is complete when a sterilant kills or inactivates the contaminating microorganism. The most common sterilant or sterilizing agent is ethylene oxide hereinafter
Traditionally, industry had used a combination of EO and carbon dioxide or Freon 12 to reduce the volatile nature of EO. The common mixture was 12% EO and 88% of Freon 12. Sterilization utilizing the combination of EO and Freon 12 required pressures up to 30 psia in order to achieve concentrations of EO in the range of 500-800 milligrams/liter, to ensure a lethal exposure.
Prior to sterilization, the product is placed in an area for preconditioning. This preconditioning step increases the temperature and humidity in the product to make sterilization more effective.
Present regulations do not mandate preconditioning but accepted practice and procedure call for humidity conditions during sterilization which can only be obtained as a consequence of such preconditioning which is traditionally done by the use of a separate preconditioning area. Regulations are pending which will dictate a validated procedure for preconditioning. Proposed AMMI standards will require validation of the process. Reference is made to ANSI/AMMI/15011135 1994. The preconditioning process is the exposure of a non-sterile product to humidity and heat. The controlled preconditioning of the product helps ensure the maximum effectiveness of the EO. Thereafter, the product is transferred to a sterilizing chamber, where it is exposed to the sterilant (EO). In the process of transferring the product from the separate preconditioning area to the sterilization chamber there is a substantial loss of heat and humidity from the product, which is adverse to the efficiency of the process.
Moreover, the preconditioning process typically occurs in atmospheric pressure where the static penetration of heat and humidity into the product occurs. The static penetration and preconditioning cycle typically requires 12 hours.
The traditional sterilization cycle required a vacuum in the range of 25 inches of mercury (in. Hg) or 2.4 pounds per square inch absolute (psia) and maximum pressures of 30 psia. These operating conditions require that the sterilizing unit have a structure that withstands the vacuum and pressure levels required to sterilize products. The presently used structure is typically manufactured from heavy gauge stainless steel or stainless clad steel, which has a large thermal inertial mass. The large thermal mass dictates that these chambers must be kept at operating temperatures during periods of non use to ensure that they are up to temperature when needed. A chamber of lightweight construction would have to be heated only when in use, resulting in major energy savings.
Subsequent to the sterilization cycle the sterile product was transferred to a separate cell or room to initiate and complete a degassing cycle. The degassing cycle function is to remove residual sterilant (EO) from the product by introducing heated air into the separate degassing cell or area which may be an entire room. The gas/air mixture ambient to the cell or room is then exhausted to the atmosphere at a controlled rate, typically at a rate of 10% of the air handler output for 20 hours.
Modern technology has permitted the use of 100% EO during the sterilization process, while maintaining the practice of preconditioning and degassing the products in separate locations. 100% EO has been used for many years but the use of a nitrogen flush cycle is about 10 years old. Previously the industry accepted the risk that the chamber could have enough oxygen present to contain an explosive mixture and operated their process accordingly. The modem sterilization process requires a series of vacuum cycles to be completed, each vacuum cycle to be following by a nitrogen purge of the chamber. Thereafter, 100% EO is injected into the chamber. The sterilization process typically requires eight hours to complete. The amount of EO is controlled so that the pressure within the chamber is less than atmospheric, such that the sterilizing unit functions under vacuum and not as a pressure vessel.
What is needed is a process for gas sterilization which does not require the use of a separate preconditioning area or cell, the transfer of items being sterilized to a separate sterilizing chamber and the further transfer of the sterilized items to a separate degassing cell or area or room and further, there is need for a sterilizing unit that can support a process for gas sterilization that can be completed in the one and the same sterilizing unit resulting in an increase in efficiency and lower energy consumption. Also, what is needed is a sterilizing process and unit which will permit a dynamic preconditioning cycle where heat and humidity can be introduced to the product under a vacuum and pulsed up and down in pressure. The presently used process utilizes a static preconditioning cycle where heat and humidity are introduced under atmospheric pressure. Also, what is needed is a sterilizing process and unit which will also permit the degassing to take place under dynamic conditions which enhances the effectiveness of the process and reduces the time needed to achieve safe levels of EO. Furthermore, it is extremely important that workers' exposure to product which is outgassing while moving the product from a sterilizing chamber to a degassing room be eliminated. Such exposure is most easily eliminated by having a process and unit which does not require that the product be moved from a sterilizing chamber to a degassing room. The physical movement of the product at this time has the greatest risk of worker exposure in the entire sterilizing process. These and other needs are satisfied by the present invention such as for example it is important to note that the wall structure which defines the chamber design, because the chambers are constructed by a method which allows each unit to be very inexpensive when compared to what is presently used, will allow the use of multiple gas sterilizer units to be used. Each unit will be used for the complete gas sterilization process.
The invention in its simplest form is a lightweight structure defining an interior portion/chamber therein having structural features which will permit; (1) a vacuum or a pressure within the chamber, (2) the heating of the chamber, (3) the introduction into and the containment within the chamber of a controlled heat and humidity of the gases therewithin, and (4) the introduction into and the containment within the chamber of a controlled amount of a selected gaseous product for use typically as a sterilant.
The preferred embodiment is a gas sterilizing unit that utilizes a sterilant having a chamber or interior portion defined by a corrugated wall structure, such as an aluminum culvert, of lightweight construction, or other appropriate lightweight wall structure with at least one door, and an interior portion or chamber. It is to be noted that, as a very important concept, the design of the wall structure and the sterilizer unit itself will allow the use of multiple chambers to be used for the complete process because they are constructed by a method which allows each unit to be very inexpensive when compared to what is presently used. Also included are: (1) means for controlling temperature of the interior portion i.e., the chamber; (2) means for regulating relative humidity of the interior portion/chamber; (3) means for inserting a controlled concentration of at least one gaseous chemical into the interior portion/chamber and whereby the at least one gaseous chemical such as ethylene oxide (EO) concentrations in the chamber are not measured directly, but are determined by measuring the weight of the gas going in and/or by measuring the increase in pressure in the chamber caused by the partial pressure of the gas, such as EO, used; (4) means for creating a controllable vacuum within the chamber thereby to control the pressure of the gaseous chemical and the removal of the gaseous chemical from the interior portion/chamber and (5) means for timing individual times required for preconditioning, sterilization and degassing the product within the interior portion/chamber of the sterilizing unit. The sterilizing unit takes a non-sterile product and sterilizes the product without transferring the product to multiple locations.
One object of the invention is to provide a gas sterilizing unit that utilizes a method where a product has the preconditioning, sterilizing, and degassing cycles completed in one location, that being within the chamber of such sterilizing unit.
A further object of the invention is to increase the efficiency and decrease the time required to complete the overall process and also provide a substantial reduction in worker exposure to EO.
An additional further object of fie invention is to provide a dynamic preconditioning cycle where heat and humidity are introduced to the product under a vacuum.
Another object of the invention is to complete the degassing cycle under a vacuum.
An additional object of the invention is to reduce the possible exposure of EO to the environment and workers, by not transferring the product from a sterilization chamber to a separate degassing location.
Yet another additional object of the invention is to provide a sterilizing unit that may be heated rapidly which saves energy by preventing the necessity of maintaining the unit at operational temperatures.
These and other advantages and features, which characterize the invention, are set forth in the claims annexed hereto and forming a further part hereof. However, for a better understanding of the invention, and the advantages and objectives obtained by its use, reference should be made to the drawing figures, which are a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout and to the accompanying descriptive matter, in which there is described a preferred embodiment of the invention, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a side view of the chamber defined by the corrugated walls of the sterilizing unit, with a cut-away view;
FIG. 2 is a partial top view of the chamber with a door in the open position; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of the preferred process of the invention.
Referring to the drawings, wherein like numerals represent like parts throughout the several views, there is generally disclosed at 100 a sterilizing unit consistent with the principles of the present invention, depicted in FIG. 1.
Although the example of sterilizing a medical product will be discussed herein, those skilled in the art will appreciate that such application is only one of many products in which the principles of the present invention might be utilized. Accordingly, the sterilization of a medical device herein should not be construed in a limiting manner.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the single sterilizing unit 100 is illustrated in the drawings. It should be understood that other quantities of sterilizing units 100 may be controlled by a single programmable logic controller or personal computer (herein after PLC/PC 10). It is also understood that the entire process or method for gas sterilization of a product, which product remains within the chamber of the sterilizing unit throughout the entire sterilizing process, may be fully controlled by manual operation of switches and controls. It is not necessary that the process be automated by a PLC or a PC. The level of sophistication of the control of the gas sterilizer unit and of the size of the unit will depend only upon the application for such a unit.
In order to better present and describe the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the detailed description of the process will be deferred pending a discussion of the preferred embodiment of a sterilizing unit.
Referring to FIG. 1, the sterilizing unit 100 having a PLC/PC 10, corrugated wall 20, vacuum pump 30 and a timer 40. Time function could be part of PLC/PC 10. The sterilizing unit 100 may be supported by multiple brackets 4. PLC/PC 10 is configured to control temperature, humidity, concentrations of gaseous chemicals and heating of interior portion/chamber 22 of corrugated wall structure 20 to mention a few of the control functions possible. The PLC/PC 10 also has an operator interact 11 such that programming and monitoring functions are permissible, the operator interface 11 is not required once the programming has been completed. The PLC/PC 10 may be configured to operate multiple sterilizing units 100. The programming of the PLC/PC 10 will be discussed later. A PLC/PC 10 that performs the required functions of the sterilizing unit 100 is well known to one skilled in the art.
Timer 40 is preferably a counter within the PLC/PC 10 that permits individual control of time required for preconditioning, sterilization and degassing product 5. A timer 40 that is integral with a PLC/PC 10 is also well known to one with ordinary skill in the art.
A corrugated wall structure 20 having an internal portion, i.e., chamber 22 and at least one door 24 is provided. Corrugated wall structure 20 has alternating ridges 25 and grooves 26 that are a preferred design in a sterilizer application where a vacuum is utilized. Ridges 25 and grooves 26 also provide additional surface area for heat transfer. The preferable dimensions of corrugated wall structure 20 would vary depending on the size of the product to be sterilized and the total volume needed. The first production model will be 8 feet in diameter and 32 feet long. All diameters and lengths can be custom made including ovaloid and pear shapes. It would be constructed of 8 gauge aluminum or stainless steel. The material chosen is to minimize the inertial mass of the chamber to require less time to heat up to a desired temperature of approximately 125� F. depending on the product. Alternative dimensions and materials of construction are considered to be consistent with the principles of the present invention.
Interior portion or chamber 22 is sized to hold product 5 during the entire process. Medical devices are usually the product 5 which is being gas strerilized. Chamber 22 is configured to permit the entry of instrumentation (not shown) used in the control of the process. Instrumentation that may be used are temperature and pressure sensing devices, such as thermocouples and pressure devices. Components such as thermocouple RTD's and pressure transducers are all readily available and will be selected to be compatible with the designated controller. As stated above, final EO concentrations are not measured directly but are calculated from weight of gas used & pressure changes inside of the chamber.
The instrumentation is approved for hazardous areas such as (Class I, Division 1 or 2, Group B, NEC'93), and is interfaced with the PLC/PC 10 that monitors and controls sterilizing unit 100. The required instrumentation is well known to one skilled in the art.
Referring to FIG. 1 and 2, there is depicted a door 24 in the closed and open position respectively. Door 24 includes heating channels 27 and a handle 28. Heating channels 27 allow door 24 to be kept at the chamber temperature and prevents condensation of water vapor on door 24. A double door design allows product 5 to be passed from a non-sterile location through chamber 22 to a sterile location for finished goods. The practice furthers Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP's) at the facility.
Referring back to FIG. 1, a vacuum pump 30 is provided to regulate the pressure within chamber 22. Vacuum pump 30 is controlled by PLC/PC 10 and is sized according to the capacity of chamber 22 of gas sterilizing unit 100. It is common practice to use a liquid ring pump. Any other appropriate type of vacuum pump such as for example a vane type pump could be used and may be dependent upon the application and the necessary duty cycle. Vacuum pump 30 is well known to one with ordinary skill in the art.
Sterilizing unit 100 further includes an exterior cavity 18 and insulating exterior 19. Chamber 22 is located within exterior cavity 18 and insulating exterior 19 surrounds exterior cavity 18. Insulating exterior 19 is preferably made of a flexible poly foam covered with light gauge aluminum. In the fabrication of very large sterilizing units and particularly wall means 20 which defines chamber 22, a space will be provided on the outside of the wall structure through which air may be circulated in order to provide an even temperature distribution throughout chamber 22.
A first circulation fan 17A may be required to circulate the air around the outside of the chamber 22. The circulation may be required if the appropriate heat distribution is not maintained on the wall structure 20. The heat distribution should be +/-2 degrees Fahrenheit.
A second circulation fan 17 is located within chamber 22 of wall structure 20. The purpose of fan 17 is to maintain the gaseous concentrations, heat and humidity homogeneous throughout chamber 22. Fan 17 is typically a three phase motor, 1/2 HP, 208 voltage, that is manufactured according to the hazardous environment in which it will be used; for example, explosion proof type. The installation of the motor and all the electrical equipment are to be completed according to the latest National Electric Code (NEC), Class I, Division I, Group B. Fan 17 could also be air or hydraulic powered. A unique advantage or feature of the invention is that fan 17 and the motor are inside chamber 22 eliminating the need for high technology rotory seals and the problems which could go with having the motor outside and the fan inside.
Sterilizing unit 100 further includes tubing 6 that is located in alternative grooves 26. The tubing 6 is located in the exterior cavity 18. Tubing 6 is not essential or required for sterilizing unit 100 to effectively operate, but it does aid in the efficiency of sterilizing unit 100. The tubing connections (not shown) are well known to one skilled in the art.
The purpose of tubing 6 is to maintain and provide heat to chamber 22 of wall structure 20 and is typically manufactured of stainless steel with a 3/4 inch diameter. A hot liquid (not shown) flows through tubing 6, The liquid is preferably water.
Gas sterilizing unit 100 must include a recovery mechanism 50 for the recovery of the sterilant. Recovery mechanism 50 may be an acid scrubber that converts high concentrations of EO to ethylene glycol. In addition, a catalytic device may be used to convert low concentrations of EO to carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, virtually none of the EO vents to the atmosphere. PLC/PC 10 may also be configured/programmed to automate recovery mechanism 50.
Referring to FIG. 3, the process of sterilizing a product 5 is depicted. The process includes the three steps of preconditioning, sterilizing and degassing of product 5. The process may be automated by a PLC/PC 10. Product 5 remains in chamber 22 during the entire process. Each step of the process will be discussed in detail.
The preconditioning step is the first in the process where a non-sterile product is placed in chamber 22 which may be preheated. A vacuum is dram before interjecting steam 2 into product 5, and pressure can be applied by a steam/air mix. The preferred temperature is in a range of 120� F.-130� F. and with a relative humidity in the range of 50%-60%. This process may be repeated several times to dynamically drive heat 3 and steam(humidity) 2 into product 5. The preconditioning process will take approximately 6-10 hours.
The sterilizing process starts by drawing a vacuum. The mount of vacuum depends on the nature of the product in the chamber. The vacuum is followed by a nitrogen injection. A series of vacuum/nitrogen cycles are used (3-5) to ensure that when the EO is injected the percentage of EO mixed with the remaining air will be well below the 3% EO to air ratio. This ensures that the interior of the chamber is below the threshold of the explosive range. The chamber is then filled with a measured mount (typically weight) of EO, (approximately 40 pounds for a 1000 cubic foot chamber). Nitrogen is then added to bring the pressure up to approximately 15 psia. Steam is added for the correct humidity (50-60%), and the cycle goes to a lime hold. When the cycle is complete the vacuum pump is used to transfer the EO to the scrubber.
The preferred process does not require the transporting of product 5 to different locations. The sterilization cycle of the preferred embodiment is completed in less time than present methods, because, product 5 has not lost any heat and humidity 2 during transportation before the sterilization cycle.
Subsequent to the sterilizing cycle a degassing cycle is completed and residual sterilant (EO) is removed from the product. The degassing cycle typically involves a series of vacuums and heated air purges. A vacuum is drawn by vacuum pump 30. The number of vacuums and purges is in the range of from two (2) to about five (5). The degassing cycle may take up to about 24 hours, which is dependent upon the particular product 5. The completion of this cycle results in a sterilized product 5.
It is thought that the present sterilizing unit and many of its attendant advantages is understood from the foregoing description of what are presently considered to be the preferred embodiment of this invention, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the parts thereof without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing all of its material advantages, the form hereinbefore described being merely a preferred or exemplary embodiment thereof.

6:10pm: The Brewers' trade talks surrounding catcher Jonathan Lucroy are picking up, per ESPN's Jerry Crasnick (links to Twitter). The Indians, Rangers, Mets, Astros and Red Sox have all been mentioned in connection with Lucroy, Crasnick notes, and offers being made by other clubs have become more serious recently. Crasnick adds that the the ever-popular "mystery team" may have entered the mix as well.
Red Sox Notes: Dombrowski, Bullpen, Buchholz
- Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski suggested today that the action is heating up, but that his team isn't close to striking any major new deals, as Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports (Twitter links.) Boston's chief baseball decisionmaker said that he has fielded five new trade proposals today alone, with other organizations seemingly looking to make off with some of the team's prime prospect assets. But while ESPN.com's Jayson Stark cited rivals as suggesting that the Sox were aiming to do "something big," via Twitter, Dombrowski said that the team doesn't feel pressure to pull off another move.
- One area that the Red Sox have some obvious room for improvement is the bullpen, particularly with Koji Uehara looking like a major question mark down the stretch and Craig Kimbrel still working his way back. But with Kimbrel seemingly progressing well, Dombrowski suggested that the organization doesn't feel compelled to add relief help, as Abraham further tweets.
- Meanwhile, though Red Sox righty Clay Buchholz isn't filling much of a present role, Dombrowski says that he's still an important part of the team's rotation depth, as Jen McCaffrey of MassLive.com reports. With Dombrowski also saying he is impressed with the way Buchholz is throwing the ball, it doesn't seem as if there's any momentum towards a deal involving the veteran.
Red Sox Rumors: Buchholz, E-Rod
- The Royals have interest in Red Sox righty Clay Buchholz, who's currently in their bullpen, but Boston would have to pick up large portion of his remaining $13MM salary for 2016 in a trade. Buchholz's contract also includes a $13.5MM club option for next season. In 20 appearances (13 starts) and 82 2/3 innings this season, the 31-year-old has compiled a sky-high 6.10 ERA to pair with ugly strikeout and walk rates (5.99 and 4.03, respectively, per nine).
- The Marlins scouted Red Sox southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez and a couple of Twins – right-hander Ricky Nolasco and left-hander Tommy Milone – in Boston earlier this week. It looks as though the 23-year-old Rodriguez is unavailable, per Cafardo. Nolasco, a former Marlin, is on a $12MM salary through next season and has continued a trend of having difficulty preventing runs this year (5.40 ERA) through 116 2/3 innings. Milone has also posted a lofty ERA (4.71 in 49 2/3 frames), though he carries a more modest salary of $4.5MM.
Red Sox Have Checked In With White Sox On Sale, Quintana
Per the report, the Red Sox are among the teams to have logged a phone call with the Chicago brass. Heyman suggests that Boston could theoretically also have interest in reliever David Robertson, and also notes that the Dodgers will surely check in on Sale and Quintana. No doubt plenty of other teams will also; as the recent chatter surrounding Chris Archer shows, controllable standouts draw wide interest no matter the time of year.
Red Sox Notes: Kimbrel, Uehara, Archer
Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel is recovering well from July 11 left knee surgery and, in a best-case scenario, could return in the first few days of August, reports Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal. On the other hand, fellow late-game option Koji Uehara isn't a lock to pitch again in 2016. The 41-year-old hit the disabled list with a pectoral strain Wednesday and received a platelet-rich plasma injection Thursday, and manager John Farrell said Saturday that the Red Sox are "hopeful" he'll return this season. Uehara won't throw again for an undetermined amount of time. It stands to reason that his absence could galvanize the Red Sox to address their bullpen even further around the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline. They already picked up Brad Ziegler in a deal with Arizona earlier this month.
- Regardless of what happens with their bullpen, the Red Sox continue to hunt for starting pitchers, per Evan Drellich of the Boston Herald. They've already checked in on White Sox ace Chris Sale and the Rays' Chris Archer, though it was merely due diligence in the case of the latter, a source told Drellich. With David Price, Steven Wright, Rick Porcello and the recently acquired Drew Pomeranz in the fold, at least 80 percent of Boston's rotation appears set, and the Wild Card-leading club has gotten back-to-back strong performances from 23-year-old southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez.
Red Sox Interested In Chris Sale
- The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports. It's an incredibly high asking price but one that at least one rival executive thinks will be met, though others believe Chicago may not actually be serious about dealing its ace. The Marlins are among the teams who have inquired about Sale but with such a thin farm system, Miami doesn't seem close to meeting Chicago's demand. The Red Sox and Rangers do have deep systems and have asked about Sale, though Heyman reports that the Rangers/White Sox talks haven't led to much progress.
Red Sox Notes: Buchholz, Bullpen, Dombrowski, Rays
Clay Buchholz may be in his final days as a member of the Red Sox, writes Rob Bradford of WEEI.com. Teams have inquired with the Red Sox about the struggling right-hander, Bradford reports, and his sparse usage as of late has the pitcher himself pondering his future with the club. "…I feel like the guys they're rolling out there, I don't have a spot. I'm the odd man out," said Buchholz in reference to the rotation. "I'm not sure. I don't know. Not having pitched in a while I felt like something has be going on." Manager John Farrell offered a rather frank analysis of the situation when asked by Bradford: "He's in a tough spot, I'll be candid. I don't want to say it's purgatory, but as far as baseball he's in a difficult spot. There was the four-day layover over the break. We've played very good winning baseball. We've gotten starters deeper into ballgames where the bullpen has been rested. That's where the decisions have come in." Buchholz's contract has one more club option at $13.5MM on it, so perhaps an interested party would look to buy low in hopes of revitalizing him over the final two months of the year and making that option look like a reasonable price.
- The Red Sox hoped that adding Brad Ziegler would constitute sufficient pen depth, but now Koji Uehara has joined Craig Kimbrel on the 15-day DL. Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald writes that Boston ought to add at least one more reliever from outside the organization. Though the team isn't without its internal options, including Joe Kelly, Silverman suggests that it would be wise to have alternatives in place.
- The Rays are in a powerful position on the trade market, writes Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. With so few options on the market for starting pitching, they're poised to ask for lofty demands for any of Jake Odorizzi, Matt Moore or even Chris Archer, though the common refrain on Archer is that he won't be moved. The Dodgers and Rangers are both following the Rays' starters closely, and Topkin lists the Pirates, Astros, Marlins, Nationals and Red Sox as teams with serious interest. Topkin adds Pearce, right-hander Erasmo Ramirez and left-hander Xavier Cedeno to the list of possible trade options for president of baseball operations Matt Silverman and his staff. Notably, the Marlins were recently tied to left-handed relief help, so they could be interested not only in Tampa Bay's starters but Cedeno as well.
Red Sox Place Uehara On Disabled List
The Red Sox placed right-hander Koji Uehara on the 15-day disabled list with a pectoral strain earlier today, and manager John Farrell told reporters tonight that due to the "unique" nature of the injury, it's difficult to put a timetable on the 41-year-old's return (link via WEEI's Ryan Hannable). "At the time of the injury we knew it was significant and we put him on the DL before the MRI," Farrell explained. "It obviously confirms a strain. To what extent? We're still getting our arms around that. This is a unique injury for a pitcher. I guess the best thing I can tell you is the MRI does confirm the strain." With Uehara now joining closer Craig Kimbrel and Junichi Tazawa on the shelf (as shown on their depth chart), Brad Ziegler will step into the ninth inning for the BoSox. However, one can imagine that poor news regarding Uehara could prompt Boston president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski to further explore a trade market which he has already frequented.
Red Sox Release Wesley Wright
- The Red Sox have released lefty Wesley Wright, per Eddy. Wright, 31, had carved out a role as a useful pen piece, working to a 3.26 ERA in 173 2/3 frames over 2011 through 2015. But he has battled through some shoulder issues and has seen his velocity and strikeout rate plummet of late. Wright was carrying a 5.31 ERA at Triple-A Pawtucket.
Red Sox Have Scouted Ervin Santana
- The Twins have engaged in talks with the Red Sox, with Boston keeping an eye on righty Ervin Santana, according to Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press. But the teams do not appear to be lining up at the moment. Meanwhile, Minnesota still needs to decide if it wants to keep useful veterans around its talented but not fully realized core, and Berardino wonders whether it will end up making sense to part with the final two years of Santana's deal now that he's pitching fairly well.

Liquid-Meth-in-the-Shampoo-Bottle Trick Doesn't Work for Women in Brownsville
You might say that law enforcement personnel assigned to the Brownsville bus station have seen it all, especially with the smuggling (or attempted transportation) of illegal substances.
"With the U.S.-Mexico border being right there, there are a lot of drugs on the main highway and in the bus terminals," says Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio.
Still, this is a real wingdinger.
Late Wednesday night, sheriff's deputies approached Mayra Argelia Garcia and Cristina Ruby Casas as they tried to board a northbound bus at the Brownsville bus terminal. The women obliged when investigators asked if they could have a look inside the boxes they were carrying.
Officials found multiple shampoo bottles that weren't filled with a girl's favorite toiletry, but rather gobs of liquid methamphetamine.

"[The bottles] were closed tightly and wrapped with tape because they didn't want them to leak," Lucio tells Hair Balls by phone. Officers quickly sniffed it out because "you don't carry three to four bottles of shampoo with you on a trip," says Lucio.
Sheriff Lucio estimates that the pair possessed nine pounds of the stuff and that the liquid form is worth between $27,000 and $30,000 per pound, which means that Garcia and Casas were carrying drugs worth up to approximately $270,000.
Neither Garcia, 17, nor Casas, 21, has a criminal history. The two were charged with possession of a controlled substance, a first-degree felony. They're currently behind bars at the Cameron County Jail. If convicted, they each can be facing five to 99 years in the slammer.
As of the time this post was published, it was unknown whether the women were acting as drug smugglers. "We may add charges" if that turns out to be the case, says Lucio.

The Global Coalition for Efficient Logistics (GCEL) conducted strategy sessions on May 5-6 with China's Top 500 Foreign Trade Enterprises Club, China Council for Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), China Association of International Trade (CAIT), ASEAN-China Center (ACC) and China-ASEAN BAC (CABC).
The strategic discussions addressed China's leadership in empowering the Digital Economy through HumaWealth Program. HumaWealth is a global program that promotes trade efficiency through a Digital Economy Platform that harnesses the power of 21st century technology. Senior representatives from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and China also discussed how HumaWealth can create the world's largest Trade Efficiency Bloc representing 40% of the global population.
The Digital Economy provides the required tools to reduce annual trade-costs by USD 1.3 trillion (USD 148.6 billion for China), increase trade by USD 1.2 trillion, provide a USD 6 trillion services market opportunity and create a USD 1 trillion SME fund generating 100 million jobs.
As a first step towards implementing the Digital Economy, GCEL conducted Trade Efficiency Assessments in G20 countries Indonesia, India, and KSA as well as Malaysia along with their respective government and private-sector experts. The results yielded that about 80% of trade participants have no system and more that 88% want the proposed Digital Economy Platform. To date more than 1/3 of the G20 citizens want the proposed Digital Economy placed at their fingertips and at no cost to end user.
GCEL's Delegation was led by Captain Samuel Salloum, GCEL Co-Chairman, Dr. Surin Pitsuwan, Asia Logistics Council Advisory Board Chairman and former ASEAN Secretary-General and former Thailand Foreign Affairs Minister, Tan Sri Abdul-Rahman Mamat, Chairman of Asia Logistics Council and former Secretary-General of Malaysia Ministry of International Trade & Industry, Dr. El-Hassan Hzaine, Director-General of the Islamic Center for Development of Trade (ICDT) representing the OIC.
Dr. Hzaine shared OIC's perspective saying: "We must use digital tools to increase trade efficiency and promote trade between OIC and our trade partners globally and China. The reduction of OIC trade-costs will allow China to expand production capacity and build the buying power in low- and mid- income countries, thus minimizing China's dependency on high- income counties and alleviate its currency valuation pressure."
During the 9th Annual World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) in London GCEL and ICDT executed an MOU to deploy the Digital Economy globally.
Dr. Surin shared his views from an ASEAN perspective stating: "Through the Digital Economy we can enlarge the global trade market and create a win-win situation. We must transform today's protectionist trade policies to an execution plan with the tools to increase trade within ASEAN and with its Asia trade partners."
Mr. Zhao Yan, Executive Chairman of The Top 500 China Foreign Trade Enterprises Club, exclaimed, "We would be pleased to execute an MOU with GCEL to conduct China's Trade Efficiency Assessment as this initiative is important for our members." Mr. Yan emphasized that China's Top 500 who represent 40% of China's trade "suffer overseas due to problems with trade and logistics."
Tan Sri Abdul Rahman stated, "This is an unprecedented global initiative, founded on providing an equal opportunity process for more than 56 qualified public and private organizations from around the world to govern and to deploy the Digital Economy."
H.E. Yu Ping, CCPIT Vice-Chairman, welcomed a future Think Tank Session to explore the opportunities for China's Digital Economy leadership affirming, "HumaWealth is important to our members and responds to the Premier's call for more openness and transparency in China's economy."
Captain Salloum, GCEL Co-Chairman, commented as to the positive reception by China's leading trade organizations stating "Throughout our sessions in Beijing, we received consistent, spirited messages confirming that China is targeting the fields of innovation and services as the next frontiers for its global leadership."
GCEL plans to conduct Trade Efficiency Assessments for the remaining 15 G20 countries in order to bring the voice of the people to their leaders during the 2015 Turkey G20 presidency.

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud. Without knowing the right questions to ask, you could wind up paying for capacity you'll never need or underestimating the resources required to run your applications.

Harmonic and Cinnafilm have teamed up to integrate Cinnafilm's Dark Energy image processing tools with Harmonic's Rhozet universal media transcoding solutions.
The integrated solution allows users to produce quality video for delivery to TVs, PCs and mobile devices, while saving bandwidth. The integrated Dark Energy Convert, Optimize and Resize plug-ins are powered by Cinnafilm's Pixel Strings motion estimation engine, which harnesses the power of GPU parallel processing to deliver unmatched accuracy and performance.
The Dark Energy plug-ins are integrated with the full Rhozet product family, which includes Carbon Coder, Rhozet Workflow System (WFS) and Rhozet Quality Control System (QCS).
The Convert plug-in is a multifunction motion estimation tool providing format conversion, high-quality resolution conversion (up to 2k), intermixed footage normalization, progressive/interlaced conversion and cadence correction.
The Optimize plug-in removes noise and grain without any loss in sharpness, and removes single-frame anomalies such as dust and scratches. The Resize plug-in is a single function, entry-level solution providing the same high-quality resolution conversion (up to 2k) found in the Convert plug-in.
The combination of the tools and transcoding solutions provide a solution for removing unwanted noise, grain and artifacts from video footage while improving the transcoding workflow and significantly reducing bandwidth requirements.
