Abstract: A skincare composition and a method for removing layers of skin in a cosmetic procedure. The skincare composition comprises active ingredients mixed into a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The active ingredients include an effective amount of one or more keratolytic agents for inducing a desired degree of keratolysis in the skin, an effective amount of one or more free radical neutralizing agents for negating cellular damage from reactive chemical species, and an effective amount of one or more agents increasing synthesis of dermal components. The one or more free radical neutralizing agents and the one or more agents increasing synthesis of dermal components are acids in their un-neutralized, natural acid form, and a total amount of the active ingredients is less than 50 w/w% of the skincare composition, and a pH of the skincare composition is between 1.5-3.5.

Abstract: A skincare formulation for reducing facial expression lines via multi-modal reduction of ACh concentration and activity. The formulation includes a carrier base, an inhibitory neurotransmitter and a plurality of neuromodulating peptides configured to inhibit ACh concentration and activity at the epidermis as well as at the neuro-muscular junction The inhibitory neurotransmitter is configured to reduce neuronal excitability.

Abstract: A highly parallel computer system including dual processors and dual memory controllers are coupled to an Assisted Gunning Transceiver Logic Plus (AGTL+) high speed system bus. The microprocessors are designed for a quad processor architecture requiring four processors and four connectors for the processors. To maintain signal timing and integrity in a dual processor/dual memory controller architecture, additional terminations are inserted. Printed circuit board space is conserved with a dual processor architecture. The additional connectors and traces to the additional connectors for the processors are no longer needed. Furthermore, with the dual processor design, there is no need for two additional termination cards.
