  • High diffusion turbine wheel with hub bulb
    Patent number: 8353161
    Abstract: A turbocharger including a turbine wheel having a hub-to-tip ratio of no more than 60% and blades with a high turning angle, a turbine housing forming an inwardly spiraling primary-scroll passageway that significantly converges to produce highly accelerated airflow into the turbine at high circumferential angles, and a two-sided parallel compressor. The compressor and turbine each produce substantially no axial force, allowing the use of minimal axial thrust bearings.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 19, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 15, 2013
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.

  • Skin treatment compositions
    Patent number: 5037850
    Abstract: A skin-care composition comprising a topically acceptable oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion base and from 1,000 to 15,000 I Ug.sup.-1 of a C.sub.1-10 alkyl ether or a C.sub.3-10 alkyl ester of retinol is disclosed. The composition preferably contains an anti-oxidant such as butylated hydroxytoluene or butylated hydroxyanisole. The composition is useful in promoting epidermal mitosis.

  • Astringent or degreasing lotion
    Patent number: 4294823
    Abstract: A skin care product such as a cleansing lotion or pre- or aftershave lotion comprising ethanol, water, spherical polymer or copolymer microspheres, e.g. of polyethylene, polystyrene or polymethylmethacrylate, and a suspending agent for the microspheres. The ethanol:water weight ratio is in the range 1:19 to 19:1 and the microspheres, which may be sized from 5 to 7 microns, amount to 3 to 10% by weight of the product. The microspheres have a smoothing and matting effect on the skin, improving the observed degreasing effect of the product.

  • Cosmetic degreasing and matting composition
    Patent number: 4246257
    Abstract: Skin treatment product for greasy or oily skin comprising an unpigmented oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion having dispersed therein 3 to 10% by weight of spherical polymer or copolymer particles having an average size of 5 to 15 microns. The polymer or copolymer particles are cross-linked polystyrene, polymethylmethacrylate or polyethylene microspheres. The oil of the emulsion is a volatile organic liquid in the amount of 1 to 30% of the weight of the emulsion and may be a silicone or silicon glycol.
