Abstract: A “perpetual” candle product includes a container for storing an oil, a wick for drawing the oil from inside the container to an exposed end of the wick outside of the container, such that the tip of the exposed end of the wick can be ignited with a flame and the flame can continually burn so long as the oil in the container is replaced, and where a design feature is positioned outside the container and unlike a traditional candle the design feature does not burn or melt due to the flame on the wick, allowing the design feature (such as a wax rose, mimicking a real flower, or a wax cylinder, mimicking a traditional candle) to remain substantially intact despite prolonged and continuous burning of the candle product.

Abstract: A travel-ready brew bag of drink mix that includes a primary ingredient and at least one enhancement ingredient. The primary ingredient includes coffee or tea. The enhancement ingredients include creamer, sugar, artificial sweeteners, honey, vanilla, caramel flavoring, and peppermint flavoring.

Abstract: A cap useful for reviving the carbonation level of a carbonated beverage, the cap configured to be screwed on the opening of the beverage bottle, the cap having a pressurized gas compartment that is sealed until selectively pierced by the user by pressing on a piercing means, after such piercing of the seal, the gas inside the pressurized gas compartment is free to move into the beverage container and into the liquid, providing carbonation to the liquid.

Abstract: A wood composite material made of a mixture of wood particles and polystyrene, where the composite is made of at least 50% polystyrene but no more than 75% polystyrene and at least 25% wood particles but no more than 50% wood particles, with some embodiments of the composite material having approximately 1% of carbon nanofibers by weight. The composite material is made by dissolving polystyrene in an organic solvent to create a slurry paste, adding wood particles to the slurry paste (and in some embodiments, adding the carbon nanofibers to the slurry paste) to create a solvent mixture, and as the solvent evaporates from the solvent mixture, the final mixture is created and hardens into the final composite.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for synthesizing nanostructures. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a reactor having a reaction zone and a conductive susceptor positioned in the reaction zone. The method includes the steps of transporting a gas mixture having an aerosolized catalyst, a feedstock and a carrier gas into the reaction zone of the reactor, inductively heating the reaction zone, and regulating a flow rate of the gas mixture to allow the catalyst to spend a sufficient amount of time in the reaction zone for the growth of nanostructures.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel approach to cancer therapy and diagnostics that utilizes nanotubes and other similar nanostructures as both an indirect source of radiation therapy (BNCT), and as delivery vehicles for other types of radio- and chemo-therapeutic materials, as well as imaging agents for diagnostic purposes.
