Abstract: A cosmetic/dermatological topical preparation such as a cream or ointment or lotion containing elastogenesis inducing substances such as a dill extract or Ethocyn associated with a systemic absorption retardant such as a mixture of Benzyl Alcohol, Acetone and Isopropanol. Such a formulation achieves high local tissue concentration of the elastogenesis inducing substances in vicinity to the site of application, via minimization of systemic absorption of the elastogenesis inducing substances and at the same time via promotion of their intradermal absorption across the epidermal barrier. As a result of the use of such formulation an increased elastogenesis activity is expected to occur in the dermis, ultimately resulting in the neo-formation of an elastin network in the adult skin.

Abstract: A centrally motor driven thruster apparatus mounted in to a hull of a float of a seaplane including floatplanes and amphibious aircrafts. The thrusters, either water-jet thrusters or tunnel propeller thrusters are housed within the hull of the floats of a seaplane and provide the seaplane with slow speed maneuvering capabilities while the aircraft is in the water without the use of the on board screw propeller minimizing therefore the risks of damage to properties and/or humans. The thrusters are centrally motor driven sharing a common power unit. The thrusters, either water jet-thrusters or tunnel propellers thrusters, are driven by a common centrally located motor directly or indirectly actuated by the onboard Auxiliary Power Unit.

Abstract: A pharmacological compound characterized by the conjugation of a fatty acid such as butyric, caproic, caprylic, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, arachidic, behenic, oleic, linoleic, alpha-linolenic, arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic, docosahexaenoic acid, euric acid with Hyodeoxycholic acid or other systemic biocompatible lipid solubilizer/detergent compounds, as opposed to biocompatible lipid solubilizers/detergents sequestered in the entero-hepatic circulation, said conjugated compound being capable of producing a sustained bioavailability in the systemic circulation to access atherosclerotic plaques and cause ubiquitous dissolution of the cholesterol crystals and of the other cholesterol/lipids aggregations forming the lipidic component of an atherosclerotic plaque and also the ubiquitous dissolution of adipose tissue.
