Carrie A. Delcomyn has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7582594
    Abstract: A universal decontamination formulation is disclosed based on the in situ generation dioxirane(s) under non-corrosive neutral conditions for the neutralization of chemical and biological warfare (CBW) agents. The composition relates to the generation of dioxiranes by mixing a monopersulfate-containing compound in the presence of a ketone in water buffered with a carbonate-type buffer, producing a pH neutral formulation that provides effective reactivity towards CBW agents over a wide range of temperatures.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 17, 2003
    Date of Patent: September 1, 2009
    Assignee: Applied Research Associates, Inc.
    Inventors: Carrie Delcomyn, Jean Renard, William Wallace, Michael Henley

  • Patent number: 7429556
    Abstract: The disclosed invention is a method for the production of a universal decontaminant solution comprised of at least one oxidant and halide salt for neutralizing chemical toxicants that include organosulfur and organophosphorus-containing compounds, such as those found as pesticides, herbicides, or chemical warfare agents, as well as providing disinfection capability against viruses, bacteria, spores, fungi, toxins, and those classified as biological warfare agents. The overall generation and application of the decontaminant solution creates an unexpected synergistic effect toward rates of detoxification, whereas in most cases where the same oxidants were used individually, the same result would not be achieved. A method for the in situ generation of hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite by a monopersulfate compound and alkali metal chloride salt is also described.
