Abstract: A holographic HMI is described by which data and commands can be entered into computers and other electronic equipment. The holographic HM1 involves no tangible physical contact between the human operator and the control elements of the HMls because the input devices are holographic images of keys or other customarily touch-activated tangible input elements. Operator interaction with those holographic images is detected through electromagnetic means or other means, obviating the need for direct physical contact with any solid input object or surface. Such holographic HMls comprise a hologram for generating a holographic image of a tangible input object of the tangible control mechanism for the electronic or electromechanical device. An illumination device illuminates the hologram to produce the holographic image. An actuation detection device detects the selection by the operator of a holographic image, generated by the hologram, of the tangible input object, and a signal generator receives the detection of the actuation detection device and provides an input signal to the electronic or electro-mechanical device thereby to produce the response. The hologram is affixed to a transparent or translucent material.

Abstract: The subject invention relates to a skin cream that can be used to moisturize and rejuvenate skin that has been damaged by exposure to sunlight or which has simply been affected over the years by intrinsic aging. It can also be used to slow the rate of photo-induced aging to maintain beautiful skin tone and texture over the years. It inhibits the formation of wrinkles and in some cases reduces the depth of existing wrinkles or eliminates them entirely. In some cases, the skin cream of this invention also lightens age spots and other types of blemishes associated with aging. This invention is based upon the discovery that alkyl lactates, such as ethyl lactate, can be used to improve the penetration of active ingredients in skin care formulations deep into lower layers of the skin tissue. For instance, ethyl lactate can be included in aqueous based skin creams, such as oil in water emulsions, to deliver active ingredients deep into the skin structure. Ethyl lactate is particularly desirable for utilization in conjunction with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) containing skin cream formulations. This is beneficial because the overall effectiveness of skin creams that utilize ascorbic acid as an active ingredient is contingent upon delivery of the ascorbic acid through the outer layers of the stratum corneum and viable epidermis and into the dermis layer of the skin structure. The present invention more specifically discloses a topical formulation comprising about 1 weight percent to about 20 weight percent ascorbic acid, about 1 weight percent to about 10 weight percent of an amino acid selected from the group consisting of phenylalanine and tyrosine, about 0.5 weight percent to about 5 weight percent of a non--toxic zinc salt, about 0.01 weight percent to about 20 weight percent of an alkyl lactate, wherein the alkyl group in the alkyl lactate contains from 2 to about 12 carbon atoms, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: The processing of ovulated, mature eggs, which may be obtained naturally without killing the animal, has had unsatisfactory results up to this point, because the ovulated eggs usually burst. In the method according to the present invention, after the natural harvesting, the ovulated eggs are treated exogenously using at least one signal transduction molecule also naturally occurring in the egg cell, such as hydrogen peroxide and/or calcium chloride. Ovoperoxidase is thus activated, which causes formation and hardening of an extracellular egg membrane. An absolutely harmless treatment possibility, which is unobjectionable in food law, for hardening the ovulated eggs has been found by the treatment of the ovulated eggs using a molecule also naturally occurring in the egg cell, which is otherwise formed in the normal cell metabolism for avoiding polyspermia. The degree of hardening is adjustable through the treatment time. The hardened eggs, whose artificial hardening may be detected under the electron microscope by a special structure, may be preserved and stored better, because the method additionally has a bactericidal effect and avoids tyrosine crystallization.
