  • Patent number: 11964039
    Abstract: The present invention relates to sunscreen compositions. More specifically, the present invention relates to sunscreen compositions that, when applied to the skin, prevent sun damage while allowing the passage of sufficient UVB in the range of 290 nm-298 nm to produce vitamin D, while also inhibiting melanogenesis.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110268678
    Abstract: A composition suitable for providing protection against ultraviolet radiation containing one or more active ultraviolet radiation absorber through which ultraviolet radiation in approximately the 295 to 315 nanometer range is permitted to enter the skin in an amount sufficient for the body to produce a healthful and disease-opposing quantity of vitamin D3 and chemical precursors thereof. The composition is particularly used in sunscreens promoting on the one hand vitamin D3 production, on the other hand protecting the skin against harmful ultraviolet radiation.

  • Patent number: 6255294
    Abstract: Vitamin B12 is administered to allergy patients via mucosal membranes in a series of lozenges and other patient friendly transmucosal modes of delivery given repeatedly over a period of time to reduce the symptoms and IgE antibodies associated with allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever), and allergic asthma.

  • Patent number: 5014858
    Abstract: A trash separator that sorts bottles and cans from other, non-recyclable refuse. This separator consists of a slide 4 with an inlet 1 for all refuse at the top and an outlet 3 for the refuse at the bottom. The refuse is separated because the size and weight of the bottles and the cans is such that they attain a higher velocity sliding down the slide than the other refuse. These faster moving bottles and cans are sent on a trajectory that lands them in a far receptacle 7 while the remainder of the refuse, which is slower moving, falls into the receptacle 8 that is closest to the terminal end of the slide. The apparatus is a molded plastic cover that sits atop the receptacles and can easily fit in the kitchen, garage, office or on a street corner. It is designed to make recycling more convenient, sanitary and enjoyable.
