Patent number: 9718091Abstract: A method of stripping, prepping and coating a surface comprises first stripping the exiting coating from a surface, using continuous or pulsed fluid jet, followed by prepping the surface by the same fluid jet. The method also provides entraining particles into a fluid stream, if desired to generate a particle-entrained fluid stream that is directed at the surface to be stripped and prepped. The particles act as abrasive particles for prepping the surface to a prescribed surface roughness required for subsequent application of a coating to the surface. The method then entails coating the surface by electrically charging particles having the same chemical composition as the particles used to prep the surface. Finally, a charged-particle-entrained fluid stream is directed at high speed at the charged surface to coat the surface. The particles form both mechanical and electronic bonds with the surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2016Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: VLN Advanced Technologies Inc.Inventors: Mohan M.

Patent number: 9585908Abstract: Combustion reactions release pollutant gases that associate with ocular fluids and tissues which can have an acute ocular impact. The chronic irritation and chemical effects of these gases also promote ocular aging over the lifespan. Instantaneous pollutant effects can be reduced at the time of eye exposure by using an eyewash (collyrium) composition comprising hydroxocobalamin and/or hydroxo(aquo)cobalamin. Such compositions minimize pollutant gas reactions with ocular tissues by (1) deactivating the gases; and (2) expediting their removal from the eye by, for example, aqueous rinsing and dilution.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2015Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Chromaceutical Advanced Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Robert A.
