Publication number: 20170333379Abstract: Novel active compositions having antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity are described, the activity provided by an active component prepared in a suspension, the active component being at least a single chain fatty acid having a carbon length of 12, or between 12 and no more than 18. The fatty acid may be esterified and/or ethylated or methylated. As an antimicrobial the active component has activity against one or more microorganisms including Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Mycobacterium spp., Clostridium spp., and Candida spp., with an MIC as low as 0.0018 ?g/ml. As an anti-inflammatory, it is at least as or is more effective than cyclosporine in preventing T-cell proliferation in response to a trigger, such as stimulation by the one or more microorganisms. The active component is more active when combined with a phospholipid (e.g., lecithin, phosphatidylcholine) and caused to form liposomal nanoparticles. It is also more active when caused to form coated liposomal nanoparticles.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2015Publication date: November 23, 2017Applicant: NATUREZA, INC.Inventors: Lynn S.

Patent number: 8540641Abstract: A weight management system comprised of a body worn device which interfaces periodically with a computer. The established weight goals of the user are translated by the computer into daily activity targets and downloaded into the device. The device monitors the user's activity, offering progress status toward the daily activity target. Further, the device alerts the user of excessive sedentary periods which depress metabolic indicators. The activity targets, allowed length of sedentary periods and suggested activities to reach goal are specific to the individual based on their biometrics and living environment. The computer provides historical tracking of activity for motivational and coaching purposes.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2012Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Gruve Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Kroll, Elise P.
