Title: Skin care compositions and their use in healing injured skin
Inventor: KIM HYUN JOON
IPC: A61K9/06
Filed: 1999-09-03
Abstract: Disclosed are skin care compositions and their use in healing injured skin. The compositions are identical in lipid constituents and structural property to epidermal membranes. They comprise the major constituents for membranes of the stratum corneum, including ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids, the major constituents for endodermal membranes, including lecithin and triglyceride, and physiological active substances, including phytosphingosine and its derivatives. Without causing side effects, the skin care compositions are far superior in skin penetration and water-retention capacity. With the same composition and structural properties as in epidermal membranes, the compositions fortify the intercellular, lamellar bilayer sheets of the stratum corneum to function as the epidermal barrier, resulting in a great reduction of transcutaneous water loss and in showing an excellent hydration and emolliation effect on the epidermis. Also, the skin care compositions are of good compatibility with therapeutic active ingredients whether hydrophobic or hydrophilic, as well as of excellent drug delivery. So, they are very effective for healing injured skin and acne.

Title: Structural panel for bridging between spaced support
Inventor: CHURCH KENNETH S
IPC: B29C53/58
Filed: 1999-10-25
Abstract: A method for forming a structural panel such as for a bridge deck includes providing a first and a second sheet formed by fibers and settable resin and laminating the sheets with a plurality of parallel side by side connection members. The connection members are formed by filament winding around a core using primarily a large wind angle followed by a final shallow angle of wrap. The connection members are triangular in cross section and each is inverted relative to the next so that the sides are in contact. The connection members are connected together while the resin is uncured so that during lamination they cure together to allow integration of the resin, close matching of the shapes so that the resin at the junction remains thin and intermingling of the filaments. The connection members are dry wound on a core and the resin is applied by infusion. The core carries reinforcing members to tailor strength as required along the length of the member. The panels are arranged side by side to form a bridge deck and are connected edge to edge with suitable center connection at the crown and suitable curbing at the sides.

Title: Tray
Inventor: CORNELISSEN ARTHUR
IPC: A47G23/06
Filed: 1998-06-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a tray for receiving food, in particular on board aeroplanes, vehicles or other transport means, wherein the tray comprises a tray body, on which a first receiving surface for receiving food is formed, and a receiving part extending above the first receiving surface and spaced therefrom, on which upper side of which a second receiving surface for receiving food extending above the first receiving surface and spaced therefrom. Since the receiving surfaces are disposed on different planes, the actual area of the tray may be slight, in which case the receiving surfaces disposed lying above one another together form a receiving surface which may be substantially larger than the area of the tray. The tray specified by the invention is therefore particularly suitable for use in restricted spatial conditions, for example on board aeroplanes. The vertical dimensions of the tray may be such that the tray body with the receiving part placed thereon fits into a slide-in unit of an existing trolley. This saves space, for example on board aeroplanes.

Patent CA-2313923-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEHMANN MATHIAS
IPC: H04N1/028
Filed: 2000-07-17
Abstract: The color sequential photoelectric scanning device for transparent originals includes a light source for illuminating a positioned original, a color shutter for sequentially modulating the color and intensity of light being incident on the original, a photoelectric surface sensor, which receives the light passing through the original and converts it into electrical scanning signals in a two-dimensional pixel-by-pixel manner, an optical member for imaging the original onto the surface sensor, an electronic member for controlling the surface sensor and for reading the scanned signals that are generated by the surface sensor. The color shutter consists of a combination of a rotatably driven filter wheel and at least one rotatably driven aperture wheel, the aperture wheel and the filter wheel being coaxial, said filter wheel and said at least one aperture wheel having different rotational speeds, said rotational speeds having a fixed relationship to each other. The time consuming acceleration of filters or apertures has been dropped through a combination of a continuously rotating filter wheel with one or more continuously rotating aperture wheel or wheels, so that extremely short measuring cycles are possible. At the same time, sufficiently steep rise and fall transition phases of the light and dark phases (short opening and closing times) are attained, and thus a more efficient use of the measuring light is achieved.
