Title: Skin treatment compositions and methods
Inventor: PELLEGRINO NANCY
IPC: A61K8/14
Filed: 2021-10-21
Abstract: Skin treatment compositions and methods provide a superficial depth skin peel and exfoliation utilizing a combination of four acids, a carrier gel, colorant(s), and a topical oxygen delivery system. The combination of acids, oxygen delivery, gel formulation and colorant(s) aid in the efficacy of the formulations to result in beneficial skin treatment compositions by creating an effective superficial peel without the use of BHA's and only using AHA's having a molecular weight greater than 100. The AHA's used in the present invention are intended to predominately impact the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin. The AHA's utilized in the present invention reduce corneocyte adhesion by impacting the ionic bonds in a manner that reduces the cohesion forces. The corneocytes are then more easily shed and replaced by the newer, bright layers underneath. This can give the skin a smoother and less scaly appearance.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) object printer has an ejector head with a single nozzle that is fluidly connected to a plurality of orifices in an orifice plate of the ejector head. An ejection of material through the single nozzle is emitted through the plurality of orifices simultaneously. In one embodiment, some of the orifices are oriented at an angle to a normal to the plane of the orifice plate. A splicer of the printer that generates machine ready instructions for operation of the printer identifies a standoff distance between the orifice plate and a surface onto which drops are being ejected to achieve a target drop spacing for the drops ejected onto the surface. In this manner, a material density for structure within a layer can be achieved without needing to increase the ejection frequency significantly or requiring the printer to incorporate multiple ejector heads.

Abstract: The ticking noise that can be heard when a switching converter is operated to deliver a power level smaller than the minimum power level for having a soft-switching is due to the fact that during the OFF interval there is no power delivery and the DC-bus capacitance is charged at the peak of rectified mains line voltage. 
     This drawback may be overcome by disconnecting from the input AC terminals the DC-bus to prevent it from being charged, so as the DC voltage is null or smaller than a minimum nominal value when a next ON time interval T 1  begins.
