  • BIOLOGICAL TISSUE TRANSFORMATION USING ULTRAFAST LIGHT
    Publication number: 20120035600
    Abstract: Systems and methods for transforming biological materials utilizing ultrafast laser light. According to some embodiments, a method for transforming a biological material may include calculating an ablation profile for the biological material by comparing initial characteristics of the biological material to desired characteristics for the biological material, and applying an output of an ultrafast laser to the biological material to transform the biological material using the ablation profile in such a way that collateral damage to remaining biological material is reduced.

  • Foaming two-component hard surface cleaning compositions
    Patent number: 7488708
    Abstract: Foamed two-part hard surface treatment composition which is formed by the admixture of two aqueous compositions, particularly (a) an aqueous alkaline composition comprising a bleach constituent, with (b) an aqueous acidic composition comprising a peroxide constituent, which compositions are kept separate, but which are admixed immediately prior to use or upon use to form a foamed hard surface treatment composition. The foamed two-part hard surface treatment composition are particularly useful in the cleaning of hard surfaces. Preferred foamed two-part hard surface treatment composition provide both a cleaning and sanitizing or disinfecting benefit to hard surfaces, while releasing little or no free chlorine gas to the ambient air.
