Abstract: A variety of compositions and methods for removing hair from animal skin are disclosed. The methods can include heating the skin and applying force to the skin to remove hair. The methods can further include applying an adhesive comprising a wax and a resin to the skin, allowing the adhesive to solidify, and applying force to the adhesive.

Abstract: A method for processing and preserving an acellular collagen-based tissue matrix for transplantation is disclosed. The method includes the steps of processing biological tissues with a stabilizing solution to reduce procurement damage, treatment with a processing solution to remove cells, treatment with a cryoprotectant solution followed by freezing, drying, storage and rehydration under conditions that preclude functionally significant damage and reconstitution with viable cells.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for evaluation of business performances of business enterprises. This invention envisages a resource based costing methodology and new form of a company rating designated as resource based profit points or Resource Tool Profit Points [RTPP]. The resources specified here are financial resources and non-financial resources. The financial resources include money (capital), manpower, machines (assets), materials, management, and information; and the non-financial resources include customer focusing, quality of products and services, employee satisfaction and the ability to formulate appropriate business strategies. The RTPP rating computed for a company measures the company's cost strength, value strength and management strength, in a scientific and quantifiable manner.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods, apparatus and solutions for cryopreserving microscopic biological materials for biologically extended periods of time. The method comprises treating a suspension of biological material, in an appropriate buffer, with a cryoprotectant or combination of cryoprotectants which raises the glass transition temperature range of the sample. One or more dry protectants may be added to the cryosolution. The cryosolution is then nebulized and rapidly cooled with novel apparatus, dried by molecular distillation, stored and then rehydrated in a buffer prior to its use. The solutions comprise novel mixtures of cryoprotectants.
