  • Patent number: 8974363
    Abstract: New photodynamic, topically-applicable medicaments and certain medical uses of such photodynamic medicaments for treatment of human or animal tissue are described, wherein a primary active component of such medicaments is a halogenated xanthene. The halogenated xanthenes constitute a family of potent photosensitizers that become photoactivated upon illumination of the treatment site with visible wavelengths of light. In preferred embodiments, such medicaments are used for treatment of a variety of conditions affecting the skin and related organs; the mouth and digestive tract and related organs; the urinary and reproductive tracts and related organs; the respiratory tract and related organs; various other internal or external tissue surfaces, such as tissue surfaces exposed during surgery; and for treatment of a variety of conditions related to microbial or parasitic infection.

  • Publication number: 20060021987
    Abstract: A vessel for containing a fluid under pressure comprises essentially flat parallel surfaces connected by hemispherical edge closures. Internal tension members are connected between the parallel surfaces to distribute the pressure of the fluid in the vessel. The shape of the vessel can be generally square, triangular, toroidal, or other variation to conform to an available space. The skin of the vessel, the hemispheric edge closures, and the internal tension members are typically fabricated from a high strength lightweight material, such as titanium.
