  • Patent number: 10561759
    Abstract: A long-acting ultrasonic dispenser that effuses a water-based deodorizer solution into ambient air as a dry fog in a closed environment, and a method for deodorizing noxious odors in that closed environment by the dry fog. The dry fog, containing the deodorizer, chemically reacts with materials producing the odors, thereby neutralizing them. The dispenser contains an electronic ultrasonic wave generator comprising a piezoelectric crystal and an ultrasonic membrane, which is always submerged under liquid. As the liquid evaporates, droplets larger than five microns are filtered out, and the remaining dry fog is emitted into the air. The dispenser is connected to a large reservoir. When the liquid level reaches a minimum permissible height, additional deodorizer solution is pumped into the dispenser. This system is ideal for use with central air conditioners in large office buildings to eliminate odors over a long period of time with minimum maintenance.

  • Patent number: 9993573
    Abstract: A combination of herbal extracts in aqueous solution that when sprayed into a confined area as a fine mist, chemically neutralizes a wide range of odors including those that are acidic, alkaline, and neutral in nature. While this chemical solution may contain fragrances, odor elimination occurs chemically rather than by masking.

  • Patent number: 8865234
    Abstract: Analgesic formulations to be applied topically that are reported to relieve moderate to severe pain due to tendonitis, fibromyalgia, shingles, insect bites and bee stings, ACL, arthritis, and sinus headaches. In many cases, test subjects report immediate pain relief with a single application and complete pain elimination with only a few applications. The formulations are in a coconut oil base which is skin friendly. The primary active ingredient is wrightia tinctoria, which when combined with other ingredients, causes the formulation to exhibit a synergistic effect on pain relief unexpected from using the ingredients alone or in combination.

  • Patent number: 8715767
    Abstract: The Present Invention is an uncoated reduced fat, high fiber, high protein, and low calorie roasted snack peanut. The uncoated snack peanuts are manufactured using a physical process comprising expelling the oil from nutmeat kernels (defatting) using a novel pressing process that takes less than a minute. The defatting process deforms the nuts. The peanuts are reformed to their original shape using water. Then the reformed nuts are annealed using cold water to produce hardened nuts. The peanuts are then dried and roasted using state-of-the-art technology. Prior art processes that expel the oil from nuts and reconstitute them produce nuts that easily break and flake. Most of these nuts have an undesirable taste. By contrast, the uncoated, defatted peanuts of the Present Invention have hardness, texture, taste, aroma, and a physical appearance closely approximating that of natural nuts. The shelf life is improved relative to the prior art processes.

  • Patent number: 8647399
    Abstract: The Present Invention is a fire starting device for use as kindling manufactured from pine straw, as the primary component, a vegetable oil, natural resins, and an herbal component. The device is hollow, having at least one vertical channel and at least one horizontal channel drilled from the outer wall of the device to the inner vertical channel. The fire starter device is ignited from the top, and it burns to produce a high, intense flame that ignites other flammable materials having a much greater kindling temperature. The height of the flame and the burn duration are controlled by the overall size of the device and the sizes of the channels. The device burns clean with a minimum of smoke and harmful or noxious fumes. Burning the device minimally creates air pollution. It burns completely with a minimum of ash residue.

  • Patent number: 8597698
    Abstract: The Present Invention teaches herbal formulations based on a non-aqueous extract of wrightia tinctoria and an extract of cocos nucifera, which, when applied topically and used as directed in therapeutically effective amounts, have been clinically proven to be safe and effective for people needing treatment for skin conditions such as reducing or regressing dermal tortuosity, reducing spongiform pustules, and reversing and regressing stratum granulosum in keratinization disorders. The formulations can take the form of an ointment, an oil, a soap, or a shampoo.

  • Publication number: 20130247455
    Abstract: The Present Invention is a fire starting device for use as kindling manufactured from pine straw, as the primary component, a vegetable oil, natural resins, and an herbal component. The composition of the device differs from prior art devices that burn petroleum hydrocarbons. The device is hollow, having at least one vertical channel and at least one horizontal channel drilled from the outer wall of the device to the inner vertical channel. The fire starter device is ignited from the top, and it burns to produce a high, intense flame that ignites other flammable materials having a much greater kindling temperature. The height of the flame and the burn duration are controlled by the overall size of the device and the sizes of the channels.

  • Patent number: 8445054
    Abstract: The Present Invention relies upon a physical process for preparing reduced fat, high fiber, high protein, low calorie roasted snack nuts. The process of the Present Invention exhibits significantly lower process times and higher yields than the prior art processes. The process comprises expelling the oil from nutmeat kernels (defatting) using a novel pressing process that takes less than a minute. The defatting process deforms the nuts. The nuts are reformed to their original shape using water. Then the reformed nuts are annealed using cold water to produce hardened nuts. The nuts are then dried and post-processed with coatings and roasting using state-of-the-art technology. The yield of snack nuts produced by this process is generally greater than eighty percent.
