  • Publication number: 20240033312
    Abstract: The present invention provides cannabis oil extracts and compositions thereof, including cannabis oil compositions containing vitamin E, and methods for preparing the extracts and compositions. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a method for preparing a cannabis oil extract comprising eluting cannabinoids from cannabis plant material with a solvent to produce an eluate, filtering the eluate with a filter to produce a filtrate, evaporating the solvent from the filtrate with a distiller to produce a distillate, and purging the distillate under conditions sufficient to remove residual solvent, thereby preparing the extract. In some embodiments, the method further includes mixing a quantity of vitamin E with the extract to produce a cannabis oil composition.

  • Patent number: 10238745
    Abstract: A cannabinoid composition having an excipient including ?-tocopherol and at least one isolated cannabinoid having a purity of greater than 80%. The ?-tocopherol inhibits oxidation, regulates viscosity of the composition, and improves bioavailability of the cannabinoid. The composition includes a carrier oil mixed with the excipient and cannabinoid. In one embodiment, the at least one cannabinoid is an isolated cannabinoid having a greater than 80% purity, and preferably greater than 90% purity. The at least one cannabinoid is selected from the group consisting of phytocannabinoids, endocannabinoids, synthetic cannabinoids, and combinations thereof. The cannabinoid may be derived from plants other than cannabis sativa, or synthesized from fungi, bacteria, yeast or other synthetic method. Preferably the ?-tocopherol comprises at least 10% w/w of the composition.

  • Publication number: 20060185741
    Abstract: A reservoir assembly of a power steering system includes a reservoir tank defining a tank chamber for holding a power steering fluid and an opening fluidly connected to the tank chamber for allowing power steering fluid to be added to the tank chamber. A breathable cap covers the opening and limits passage of power steering fluid thereby. The breathable cap allows airflow between the tank chamber and ambient. A cover is disposed over the breathable cap for preventing contaminants from entering the tank chamber through the breathable cap. The cover includes a disc section and a skirt depending axially from the disc section. The disc section and skirt cover the breathable cap. Legs protrude radially inwardly from the skirt. The legs include a first leg and a second leg which extends radially inwardly a greater amount than the first leg.
