Abstract: A method and system for generating and delivering nitric oxide directly to a patient. A reaction chamber is provided that is located at or in close proximity to the patient and reactants within the reaction chamber react together to produce a predetermined amount of nitric oxide. The reaction is controlled by metering at least one of the reactants into the reaction chamber to generate a predetermined quantity of nitric oxide as required by the patient. The reactants can include a nitrite salt, such as sodium nitrite, and a reductant such as ascorbic acid, maleic acid or a mixture thereof. By generating and delivering the nitric oxide directly to the patient in close proximity thereto, the formation of NO2 is minimized. One or both of the reactants may be in liquid form.

Abstract: A deer lure is applied to a licking branch to attract deer, primarily buck deer, in collecting census data on the population of a deer herd in a given area and in deer hunting. The lure is formulated by surgically removing the left and right pre-orbital tear duct glands from the left and right eyes of a deer. The left and right pre-orbital tear duct glands are mixed together to produce a totally pure pre-orbital gland lure, free of any other product removed from any deer. When applied to a licking branch, the lure is effective in attracting deer year round to the licking branch and is not limited to use during the rut.

Abstract: Disclosed is a personal care composition comprising cooling active and copolymer comprising acrylamidopropyltrimonium chloride, wherein the weight ratio of the amount of the cooling active to the amount of the copolymer is in the range from 1:5 to 100:1. The copolymer improves deposition of the cooling active during topical application of the product to skin.

Abstract: The invention disclosed herein relates to a nanoparticle comprising: a cup having a cavity, and a gas pocket present in the cavity, wherein the gas pocket is partially encapsulated by the cup. Typical uses of the nanocups include initiating inertial cavitation during simultaneous exposure to ultrasound, and/or as drug carriers to achieve targeted drug delivery in response to ultrasound excitation.

Abstract: Provided is a dual dosage form capsule, methods for producing and systems for making the same, which can provide dual release of the two dosages. The dual dosage form capsule has a first capsule member containing a first fill material and a second capsule member containing a second fill material. A band couples the first capsule member to the second capsule member and forms a third chamber defined by an inner surface of the band and each cap of the capsule members. An aperture allows fluid into the third chamber causing the band to at least partially dissolve so that the caps of the capsule members are exposed. The caps of the capsule members can dissolve at the same or different rates to control the timing of the release of the first and second fill materials and hence an active ingredient included within the fill material.
