  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING AN UNKNOWN SUBSTANCE
    Publication number: 20090002699
    Abstract: A device for identifying an unknown substance includes an optical source configured to direct a laser excitation beam at the unknown substance. A detector is configured to detect scattered light from the unknown substance and generate at least one signal representative of a scattering spectrum corresponding to at least one chemical within the unknown substance. A microprocessor is in signal communication with the detector and configured to generate a pattern representative of the at least one chemical in response to the at least one signal received from the detector to identify the chemical composition of the unknown substance. The device is configured to complete a bioassay to identify a biological nature of the unknown substance.

  • Nutritional supplement and soft gelatin capsule delivery system
    Publication number: 20060292217
    Abstract: A nutritional composition and method of introducing the composition into a soft gelatin capsule. The composition includes effective amounts of omega-3 fatty acid, vitamin D and selenium. The method includes forming each component into a unitary form, forming a soft gelatin capsule and introducing the unitary composition into the capsule. The soft gelatin capsule then serves as a delivery system for the composition when the capsule is introduced into the body of the user.
