Abstract: A method for facilitating a delivery of a molecule into an interior space of a cell includes the steps of introducing a molecule into a biological structure comprising a cell and applying a substantially continuous low-level electric field, in the form of non-thermal plasma (ionized gas) generated by a direct current voltage applied to an electrode, to the molecule and biological structure. The field is applied for a duration sufficient to effect a change in porosity the cell of the biological structure sufficient to facilitate an entry of a desired molecule into an interior thereof.

Abstract: A device and method to cause hair loss or prevent or inhibit hair growth. The invention uses plasma (ionized gas) that is generated by flowing gas in close proximity to an electrode that has a high potential applied to it. The result is a stream of charged gas particles that are directed to the skin that contains hair. The flowing stream of gas is held above the surface of the skin. Additionally, a grounded conductive material is affixed to the skin to dissipate any charge buildup on the skin and focus the plasma.

Abstract: A method of simulating a creeper for mechanics servicing a vehicle spaced from a floor and for catching vehicle drippings provides a sheet of cellular material with a lower surface for contacting the floor therealong and with a parallel upper surface. That method and simulated creepers provide for a catching of vehicle drippings and avoid a need for creeper casters by coating the upper surface of that sheet with a dripping-impervious layer facing the vehicle having a lower surface friction than the cellular sheet at its lower surface so that a mechanic may slide along the surface of that layer while the lower surface remains stationary on the floor.

Abstract: A forcible entry tool includes a hollow housing having a blind-ended bore defined therein with a stop shoulder located on a fore end of the housing and extending into the bore. A rod is slidably mounted in the housing bore and includes an abutment on a rear end thereof that is impacted by the shoulder when the housing is moved on the rod. The shoulder and the rod abutment are located inside the housing. A work element is attached to the distal end of the rod, and is engaged with a building security device, such as window bars, to pull that security device off of the building when the housing impacts the rod abutment. Various weights and weight distributions can be provided to adjust and customize the tool for the particular job or the particular user. One or more handles can be attached to the housing.
