  • Patent number: 6656288
    Abstract: A device and method that cleans microwave ovens through a chemical action, specifically to an agent that is placed into the microwave oven, and then activated by operating the oven for a period of time. Different embodiments include a devise composed of an open cell container filled with solution; an open cell container with an attached sponge(s) and filled with solution; and a sponge that contains a cleaning solution in hydrant or dehydrated form. In some of the described embodiments, the devise has a tear off membrane seal to maintain the solution within the cell prior to use. Another embodiment described has a bottle hanger attached to a cell. All embodiments maintain a process to absorb excess microwave energy.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6192890
    Abstract: A changeable tattoo system with an electrically modifiable ink that includes biocompatible microspheres or particles encapsulated in a clear microsphere shell of diameter 30-150 microns. A hard overcoat is used to reduce deformation under loading from the skin. Tattoos are implanted with a novel tattoo needle with a flat or concave forward tip. A conformable set of drive electrodes is applied to the skin to manipulate the tattoo image using magnetic or electrophoretic techniques that include the use of an electrophetic backplane of the body's core capacitence. A capactive coupling electrode is used to establish this connection. Greyscale and color gradient images are created by calibrating the system before use and pulsing EM fields.
