Abstract: A permeable material that allows air to easily pass through the interstices in any direction. The permeable material may be a cloth, a mesh, latex, rubber, or any polymer. The material is saturated with a water and/or alcohol based solution containing either a cationic or anionic agent, a disinfecting agent, and a biocide. The solvent on the permeable material is permitted to evaporate. What remains on the permeable material is the cationic or anionic agent and the biocide. This coated material is now surrounded by an electrostatic field. The electrostatically charged material attracts oppositely charged particles and repels similarly charged particles. The particles that contain living organisms are inactivated by the biocide. The formulations have been shown to have efficacy against rhinovirus causing colds, influenza and corona viruses causing diseases such as swine flu and COVID-19, as well as other harmful airborne microscopic and sub-microscopic particles.

Abstract: A method of retrieval of items of particular relevance from a particular domain. A processor receives from a remote computing device a resource-identifying string that has a combination of a predefined notation and a resource-related sub-string. The processor uses the resource-identifying string to retrieve a subset of data items from within a data set, the subset of data items relating to a subset of resources within a set of resources available to be served by the particular domain over a distributed network. The processor uses the subset of data items to generate a list of the subset of resources and serves the list to the remote computing device.

Abstract: A method of microfiltration of inhaled air for nasal application and product for reducing the risk of inhalation of fine and ultra-fine (i.e., microscopic and submicroscopic) sized atmospheric pollutants by applying a formulation topically to the skin above the upper-lip and in close proximity of the nasal passages. The products of this formulation, when applied, create an electrostatic field for reducing the inhalation of fine and ultra-fine airborne pollutants.

Abstract: A product to reduce and method of reducing the risk of inhalation of harmful substances by applying a formulation composition to a substrate or the skin in close proximity of one or more nostrils. This formulation, when applied creates an electrostatic field having a charge. The electrostatic field attracts airborne particulates of opposite charge to the substrate that are in close proximity to the substrate close to the skin and a biocidic agent renders microorganisms coming in contact the substrate or skin less harmful.

Abstract: A family of products designed to ameliorate sinusitis and allergic rhinitis, produced by combining certain chemical substances with existing products, thereby producing a synergistic effect and relief. The chemical substances create an electrostatically charged field around the nose and prevent allergens or pollutants from entering the nostrils to cause a reaction, illness, or discomfort for the user. Therefore, the Present Invention comprises products, which are applied to the face, and therefore around the nose and nasal passages, as well as those applied directly into the nose. These products include but are not limited to nasal sprays, rinses, washes, sunscreens, nasal strips, swabs (medicated and non-medicated), tissues, towelettes, cosmetics, and fragrances. Common nasal sprays often comprise saline solutions. Cosmetics comprise camouflage paint or theatrical makeup.

Abstract: An aqueous or non-aqueous preparation comprising cationic agents to neutralize a negative charge thereby relieving tension in the skin and preventing moisture from escaping. It relieves static-tension in the skin thereby reducing the distance between the pores. The difference between the Present Invention and other water based skin conditioners is the amount of cationic agents used. The Present Invention utilizes much more of these ingredients than other commercial products. This produces the unexpected result of neutralizing the charge on the skin and relieving tension, softening and moisturizing the skin. In its most basic form, it contains no moisturizing or other skin conditioning agents. These products can be added to the Present Invention, or alternatively, the Present Invention may be used as an additive to most currently available commercial aqueous and non-aqueous based skin moisturizers for a synergistic skin softening effect.

Abstract: A surgical or permeable mask are used to stop contaminants from entering the mouth and nose of patients and, people administering healthcare or working in other areas where there is a potential danger of airborne contaminants such as particulates, pollutants, bacteria, viruses, or other dangerous particles entering the oral and nasal passages. The Present Invention provides increased filtration efficiency of these masks by creating an electrostatic field that attracts and captures oppositely charged contaminants and repels similarly charged contaminants.
