Title: Microporation of tissue for delivery of bioactive agents
Inventor: EPPSTEIN JONATHAN A
IPC: A61K31/7105
Filed: 1997-12-30
Abstract: A method of enhancing the permeability of a biological membrane, including the skin or mucosa of an animal or the outer layer of a plant to a permeant is described utilizing microporation of selected depth and optionally one or more of sonic, electromagnetic, mechanical and thermal energy and a chemical enhancer. Microporation is accomplished to form a micropore of selected depth in the biological membrane and the porated site is contacted with the permeant. Additional permeation enhancement measures may be applied to the site to enhance both the flux rate of the permeant into the organism through the micropores as well as into targeted tissues within the organism. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a working method for the separate packaging of different types of food in a single package, food is placed on a tray (3) with different compartments (5, 7, 9) open on one side, with one type of food being placed in each compartment. Subsequently a film structure film (11) is placed above the open sides of the compartments, with a part (21, 23, 25) of the film structure being placed above each compartment. Then the film structure (11) is fastened to the tray (3) around the openings of the compartments. To optimize the conditions in which the food is packaged for each type of food, the film structure (11) is comprised and/or processed such that the characteristics of the specified parts (21, 23, 25) of the film structure are different from each other. These circumstances can be improved even more by first determining, before comprising and/or processing the film structure (11), the characteristics of the food and then executing the composition and/or processing of the film structure (11) depending on the characteristics of the food.

Title: Vehicle systems for use in cosmetic compositions
Inventor: BOLICH RAYMOND EDWARD JR
IPC: A61K8/00
Filed: 1990-08-06
Abstract: Disclosed is a unique vehicle system which provides a desirable rheology to products formulated therewith, enhanced dispersion of actives therein, and improved deposition of actives therefrom. This vehicle system comprises a primary thickening agent which is a nonionic long-chain alkylated water-soluble polymer, and a secondary thickening agent which is a water-soluble surfactant, dispersed in a compatible solvent. Optionally, a rheological aid, which is a chelating agent may be included in the vehicle system. Also, optionally, a distributing aid, which is a water-soluble polymer of either high molecular weight or strong ionic character may be included in the vehicle system. These vehicle systems are useful in cosmetic compositions which are used to deliver an active component to the hair or skin. The vehicle systems are particularly useful in hair care compositions, especially rinse-off hair conditioning compositions, because they effectively deliver the hair conditioning component to the hair without depositing a substantial amount of the vehicle material onto the hair.

Title: Improvements in or relating to filters
Inventor: COUSLAND GRAEME MICHAEL
IPC: B01D46/24
Filed: 1999-11-25
Abstract: There is disclosed a filtering apparatus and related method for use eg. in separating fine mist particles from a gas. "Fibre/candle filters" consisting of a fibrous filter bed packed into an annular space between two concentric mesh or open-work cylinders are known.

Title: Wheel mounting assembly for a storage and retrieval machine
Inventor: PIPES GEORGE RICHARD
IPC: B66F9/075
Filed: 1990-09-05
Abstract: A wheel mounting assembly for a rail-supported storage/retrieval machine (10). The drive (14) and idler wheels (18) are each mounted on a removable module (32, 34) which includes a fixed plate (46) having a concave spherical surface (48) formed in it and movable plate (50) to which the wheel is mounted having a convex spherical surface (52) interfitting with the concave surface on the fixed plate to define a spherical joint. The plates are interconnected by bolts (58) fitting loosely in oversize holes (49) formed in the fixed plate and threaded into the movable plate to provide limited relative movement of the plates about a plurality of axes. Four jackscrews (60-63) arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the movable plate are threaded through a frame (42-45) holding the first plates and bear against the sides of the second plate. Simultaneous tightening and loosening among combinations of the four jackscrews provides horizontal and vertical alignment of the wheel relative to the rail on which the machine is supported. After proper alignment is achieved the bolts are tightened to provide a clamping force between the spherical surfaces.

Title: Child resistant closure
Inventor: KUSZ MAXIMILLIAN
IPC: B65D55/02
Filed: 1990-09-11
Abstract: A child resistant closure comprising outer (20) and inner (12) nested closure members each of which has a base wall and a peripheral skirt with sets of lugs on the inner surface of the outer base wall and the outer surface of the inner base wall adapted to engage each other when the outer closure is rotated for application to a container, but slip or cam past each other on inclined surfaces when the outer closure is rotated for removal. At least one integral spring finger (W) extends from one base wall toward the other base wall such that the outer closure member is held out of engagement with the inner closure member. To remove the closure, the outer closure member must be pressed downward, while simultaneously being rotated. The camming action of the lugs is then resisted by a frictional engagement of corners of the lugs on the outer closure with inclined surfaces on the lugs on the inner closure.

Title: Device for producing an aqueous chlorine dioxide solution
Inventor: GIRARD J BLAIR
IPC: C01B11/02
Filed: 2001-06-26
Abstract: A device for producing an aqueous chlorine dioxide solution when placed in water. The device includes a membrane shell that defines a compartment which includes one or more dry chemicals (e.g., a metal chlorite and an acid) capable of producing chlorine dioxide gas when exposed to water. Wick means extend into the compartment for absorbing water and transporting water into the compartment such that the chemical(s) in the compartment dissolve in the water and produce chlorine dioxide. In one embodiment, the membrane is formed of a material that allows the passage of gas (e.g., chlorine dioxide) but is impervious to liquid (e.g., water). In another embodiment, the wick means is a wick member which divides the compartment into first and second compartment sections. One chemical (metal chlorite, for example) is contained within the first compartment section and another chemical (acid, for example) is contained within or can easily be placed in the second compartment section. When the device is placed in water, water enters the device by way of the wick means and possibly the membrane shell. The chemicals dissolve in the water and react to produce chlorine dioxide gas. The chlorine dioxide gas then passes through the membrane shell and possibly the wick member into the surrounding water transforming the water into an aqueous chlorine dioxide solution. The solution can then be used, for example, as a disinfectant solution.

Title: Methods for isolating polyhydroxyalkanoates from plants
Inventor: MARTIN DAVID P
IPC: C08H99/00
Filed: 1996-10-23
Abstract: Methods are provided for separating polyhydroxyalkanoates ("PHAs") from plants, such as transgenic oil crop plants. The methods advantageously permit both the oil and the PHAs to be recovered from the plant biomass. To isolate the PHAs, in one embodiment, a biomass derived from an oil crop plant is pre-processed, for example by grinding, crushing or rolling. The oil then is extracted from the biomass with a first solvent in which the oil is soluble and in which the PHAs are not highly soluble to remove the oil. The biomass then can be extracted with a second solvent in which the PHA is soluble, to separate the PHA from the biomass. Alternatively, the PHA-containing biomass is treated with a chemical or biochemical agent, such as an enzyme, to chemically transform the PHA into a PHA derivative. The PHA derivative then is separated from the mixture using, for example, a physical separation process such as distillation, extraction or chromatography. Advantageously, using the method, the plant oils, the PHAs and PHA derivatives can be recovered and purified on a large scale from oil containing plants such as transgenic oil crop plants.
