Abstract: A phospholipid microbubble comprising a shell which comprises a plurality of polyunsaturated fatty acid (“PUFA”)-containing phospholipids, and a core of paramagnetic gas surrounded by the shell comprising the plurality of PUFA-containing phospholipids. The present invention also provides methods of delivering a prophylactically or therapeutically effective amount of PUFA to an area of disease or injury in a subject. The present invention also provides methods of preventing or treating a disease in a subject using a prophylactically or therapeutically effective amount of the aforementioned phospholipid microbubbles.

Abstract: A pump fragrance device includes a pump spray, an inner housing connected to a spray head, and an outer housing on the inner housing. On the inner housing, a junction piece connected to the spray head has an opening thereon. The inner housing's surface has an assembling piece to fit with the outer housing, which has an assembling structure to fit with the inner housing. The inner and outer housings form a fixing structure. The fixing structure is filled with a volatile carrier agent, at least a part of which is located in the spray path of the pump spray. When used, the pump spray sprays content onto a surface of the volatile carrier agent, thereby reducing the quantity of the volatile aromatic agent used. This prolongs the diffusion time of the volatile aromatic agent, thereby relieving users from the danger of the fragrance device being under high temperature.

Abstract: An air freshener of the invention comprises a head having a receiving portion and a socket portion, a clip, having a ball portion rotatably and detachably mounting in the socket portion of the head, to mount the air freshener on an air vent and a scent portion received in the receiving portion of the head for diffusing fragrance.

Abstract: An accommodating intraocular lens is provided in which a deflectable lens element is anchored to a substrate along its optical axis to define a fluid filled space. Fluid-filled haptics disposed in fluid communication with the space vary the fluid volume in the space responsive to forces applied by the ciliary muscles, thereby causing the periphery of the lens element to deflect relative to the substrate and changing the optical power of the intraocular lens.

Abstract: An air freshener of the invention comprises a carrier body having a recessed portion, a resilient clip portion extending from one end of the carrier body to mount the air freshener on an air vent, a head arranged on the end of the carrier body and a scent portion received in the recessed portion for diffusing fragrance. The scent portion can be formed by pouring and solidifying scent gel in the recessed portion of the carrier body.

Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for monitoring patient physiological data without the need for adhesives or wires to be connected to a patient. The system is also fully functional without the need for manipulation or intervention by a care provider or medical personnel. In particular, the system can include a pad having a plurality of electrical contacts or electrodes formed thereon in a predetermined pattern. The electrodes can be configured to sense electrical signals produced by a patient's body. A controller in communication with the electrodes can be configured to select and process signals from the electrodes and send the information derived from the electrical signals to an output device for displaying resulting physiological data so that the patient can be monitored.

Abstract: The present invention relates to plasticized polyolefin compositions comprising a polyolefin and a non-functionalized hydrocarbon plasticizer.
