Publication number: 20220249347Abstract: Healthy glow is characterized by radiant skin, brighter, lighter, even skin tone and clear skin without blemishes. Skin pigmentation is a process known as melanogenesis involving production, transportation, and distribution of melanin from the epidermis's inner layer to the skin's surface. There are multiple biological processes and underlying gene pathways that impact overall melanogenesis. Disclosed is a composition and methods for a combination of Vitamin B3 and Pea and Quinoa peptides obtained from hydrolyzed proteins. This composition was found to offer a holistic approach to the skin glow through multi targeted action controlling key biological pathways. Vitamin B3, Pea peptides, and Quinoa peptides were found to deliver a synergistic effect for desired skin glow, radiance, even skin tone, uniformity, homogeneity, smoothing skin texture, reducing dark spots/hyperpigmentation and improve skin appearance without any reported side effects as compared to formulations without the composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2022Publication date: August 11, 2022Applicant: TRI-K Industries, Inc.Inventors: Pushker Sona, Dr. Mihaela Gorcea, Svetlana Gorelik

Publication number: 20140151276Abstract: A wastewater geothermal heat system is supplied with processed wastewater through a drip field in proximity to a thermal array part of a geothermal heat pump system. The wastewater treatment system portion provides a periodic source of treated wastewater. Several sensors and a control system regulate a pump that discharges wastewater from the treatment system and enters a drip field where it is released into the surrounding soil. The dampened soil provides an efficient vehicle to transfer heat into or out of a thermal array which is positioned adjacent to the drip field such that it is in contact with the soil that is dampened by the discharged wastewater.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2014Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: A.K.

Patent number: 5806702Abstract: An underground storage tank for use for wastewater storage or as a temporary holding tank for wastewater or runoff from drainage systems. The present holding tank includes a generally cylindrical sidewall having a plurality of integrally molded longitudinal and annular reinforcing ribs spaced circumferentially about the sidewall. The ribs greatly strengthen the sidewall against the crushing forces of hydrostatic pressure, and thus the present tank can be constructed from polyethylene. The bottom of the tank terminates in a tapered portion having a plurality of integrally molded reinforced support posts, each of which terminates in a ground support pad. A raised anti-flotation annular collar separates the tapered portion from the main body of the tank and prevents the tank from being lifted by hydrostatic pressure.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 1997Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: A.K.
