  • Publication number: 20200237626
    Abstract: There are presented topical formulations and methods of applying these formulations in therapeutically effective amounts directly to areas of the human skin to remediate and to counter effects that are commonly regarded as aging. The formulations address the effects on the skin of UV light, High Energy Visible (HEV) light, blue light, and Urban Dust as well as remediating fine lines and age-related localized melanin concentrations (“age spots”), improving the uniformity of skin tone (reduction in skin redness) and enhancing the brightness of the skin to provide a more youthful appearance. Skin treated with the formulations also exhibit a reduction in the depth and prominence of wrinkles, a marked reduction in harmful reactive oxygen species in the treated skin, and a reduction in lipid peroxidation caused by Urban Dust.

  • Publication number: 20200102931
    Abstract: A wind turbine comprises a rotor comprising radially outwardly extending blades which are twisted in cross-sectional shape so as to achieve a constant angle of attack. Additionally, the blades are connected at their outer ends to a peripheral rotor ring which is arranged to engage and drive a rotary member of a generation system of the wind turbine that is mounted at a fixed angular position relative to the rotor ring. The wind turbine is operated in a manner which includes determining for each of a plurality of wind speeds a relationship between rotation rate and optimum power output and varying the power output of the generation system to change the load on the rotor to maintain the rotation rate at or adjacent the rotation rate which provides the optimum power output.
