  • Patent number: 10670227
    Abstract: A downlight fixture includes an optic housing, a light-emitting diode (LED) array, and a lens-less reflector. The LED array emits directional light rays in a downward direction towards an illuminated target. The reflector is mounted within the optic housing and adjacent to the LED array. The reflector has a hyperbolic wall continuously extending between a narrow neck and a wide bell. The light rays are spread into a light beam within the reflector upon making contact solely with the hyperbolic wall.

  • Publication number: 20060083830
    Abstract: A food additive composition comprising ?-polylysine in higher than normal concentrations and optionally in combination with an acidic adjuvant. The acidic adjuvant may be a low pH solution of sparingly-soluble Group IIA-complexes (“AGIIS”), a highly acidic metalated organic acid (“HAMO”), or a highly acidic metalated mixture of inorganic acids (“HAMMIA”). The food additive composition is an effective bacteriostatic preservative against pathogenic microorganisms which may be present in food products. Blending food products such as ground meats and flour-based products with the food additive with or without an acidic adjuvant causes a reduction in the number of detectable microbes for an extended period of time.

  • Publication number: 20050186281
    Abstract: A surfactant-free, alcohol-free, water based antimicrobial composition comprising a dissolved phenolic antimicrobial agent, such as chloroxylenol (“PCMX”), and with a pH range between 5.5 to 6.5. The dissolved phenolic antimicrobial agent is able to achieve a high level of antimicrobial activity despite being present at a low percent concentration. Other ingredients include a glycol, glycerin, a neutralizing agent, a preservative, an acrylic polymer, a polysaccharide polymer, and deionized water. Optional ingredients include fragrance, additional moisturizers, and a pH adjuster. The process for formulating the antimicrobial composition utilizes an anhydrous water soluble solvent complex to dissolve the phenolic antimicrobial agent.
