Title: Composition comprising cysteine-containing peptides for the treatment of hair
Inventor: CAVACO PAULO ARTUR MANUEL
IPC: A61Q5/06
Filed: 2014-10-16
Abstract: The present application relates to a composition comprising at least one peptide with a size of 6-12 amino acids, wherein 2-5 of said amino acids are cysteines, which can be used for treatment and grooming products for animal hair, preferably for treatment and cosmetics for human hair. Several methods are available for styling hair which involve breaking and re-establishing new disulphide bonds, allowing the hair to be relaxed and straightened. However, the currently more effective methods for styling hair use harmful chemical products. There is therefore a continuing need for formulations that can be used for effectively styling hair fibres without damaging same. The present invention therefore intends to provide a composition for treating animal hair, including human hair, without the use of chemicals that are harmful to hair fibres and to the health of the user, and uses of said compositions as a shampoo, lotion, serum, cream, conditioner, foam, elixir, oil, aerosol or mask.

Abstract: A garment with prepositioned, definite sensory stimulating devices attached. These sensory stimulating devices include, but are not limited to, electrical stimulation, audio and physical stimulation such as localised force generation, compression, constriction, vibration, and surround sound. Predetermined and defined actuators allow the wearer to receive tissue, nerve and/or muscle stimulation and/or contraction so that the stimulation is precise as determined by its ability to conform to the scientific methodology of repeatability, reproducibility and reliability; this being due to consistency of actuator positioning in one or multiple locals on the human body. A personal surround sound can also be integrated to the garment to ensure the wearer is always in the optimal position relative the speakers. These actuators can be force generators within the garment for the wearer to feel impact or apparatus or electrodes included in the garment to locally constrict and increase pressure on the wearer.

Title: Improved stability of viscous fluids in low salinity environments
Inventor: KAKADJIAN SARKIS
IPC: C09K8/68
Filed: 2015-01-07
Abstract: In certain instances high shear rates, such as when a fracturing fluid is pumped downhole, tend to degrade the viscosity of low polymer guars in low salinity environments. In the past in order to improve guar efficacy a delayed cross-linker such as ulexite or colemanite, both boron ores, was added. Recently it is been found that by adding a weak base, the overall viscosity of the guar was enhanced. The fracturing fluid typically includes a base fluid, in this case low salinity water, a gelling agent, a delayed crosslinker, a weak base, and other additives useful for treating a well such as friction reducers, buffering agents, clay control agents, biocides, scale inhibitors, chelating agents, gel-breakers, oxygen scavengers, antifoamers, crosslinkers, wax inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, de-emulsifiers, foaming agents, or tracers.
