Patent number: 11951208Abstract: Provided are low impact methods of creating concentrated water-in-oil and oil-in-water nanosized emulsions, effective therapeutic carriers for skin aging preparations. To achieve optimum multifunctional activity, ceramide and plant-based ceramides are selected to naturally mimic epidermal composition; and are made into evenly dispersed, small droplet, high-absorption skincare treatment emulsions. The water-in-oil emulsion is a highly stable, low-water ratio concentrate, of particular benefit to dry and aging skin types. The oil-in-water lipophilic emulsion maximizes lipid and nutrient release into the epidermis (stratum basale to stratum corneum). Lipophilic compositions are non-irritating and highly absorbable, resulting in superior skin health; specifically skin barrier keratinocyte, lipid and hydration improvements and aesthetic improvements, including skin smoothness and wrinkle reduction, while decreasing potential dermatitis and similar.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: The Future Happens Everyday Inc.Inventors: Joseph Librizzi, Celeste Lee, Bryan Taylor, Lorrie King

Publication number: 20230406365Abstract: Systems and methods for actuating automatic sliding doors on railroad hopper cars are disclosed. The system includes a cylinder having a first cap end mounted on a hopper car, and a second rod end having a clevis. The cylinder has a piston rod which extends, causing an actuating reinforcer coupled to the clevis to rotate around a coupled main shaft. The rotational motion of the actuating reinforcer causes an operating lever, also coupled to the main shaft, to rotate. A connecting link translates the rotational motion of the operating lever to a door pan fulcrum mounted to a sliding door, causing the door pan fulcrum to pull the sliding door open. The system also enables automatic locking in an analogous way, with the door pan fulcrum pushed to close the sliding door, when the cylinder piston rod returns to its original position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2021Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventor: Fred Joseph Taylor
