  • Publication number: 20160256584
    Abstract: The disclosed compositions and methods aid in controlling or eliminating many common odors and bacteria and enzymes that cause odor. Odors are controlled or eliminated by bringing the compositions into contact or proximity with the odors. The compositions are stored in an absorbent carrier which is then placed in a position where it will come into contact with the odor or the source of the odor. The compositions stored in the absorbent material can be fully hydrated for use or hydrated and then dehydrated for use. The disclosed compositions comprise a biocidal system comprising one or more primary biocides, one or more pH buffers, and one or more surfactants. The composition may be placed in an aqueous solution.

  • Patent number: 9180327
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods that are effective in the remediation of contaminants found in natural sources such as groundwater, surface water, soil and manufactured products. The disclosed compositions and methods provide a method for remediating chlorinated polyaromatic compounds by treating them under pressure and heat with concentrated acids and chloride salts. After decomposition has occurred, the resulting acid that is produced is made dermal and non-corrosive. The compositions and methods claimed herein make the product safe to be in contact with humans and animal tissue without causing injury.

  • Publication number: 20130175478
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for modifying a strong acid/salt solution or strong base/salt solution, and to the resulting modified solution. The modifications of this invention stably increase the reactivity of the solution while maintaining the non-corrosive and dermal-friendly characteristics of the solution. In particular, the inventive composition does not injure or irritate skin, as might an unmodified strong acid or strong base, but retains sufficient strong acid or strong base qualities that it tends to weaken intermolecular bonds and break covalent bonds. By way of example, combining the inventive composition with a biocide agent may result in an effective anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, or anti-viral solution that is non-corrosive and dermal friendly.

  • Patent number: 5930474
    Abstract: A software interface organizes information predicated upon the geographical area of the resources about which the information is desired. A user is presented with a "viewpoint" map which may comprise, for example, an actual visually displayed map of a selected geographical area, or text information which pertains to the resources associated with the selected geographical area. A geography database, a local content database and a yellow pages database are provided to allow the user to obtain information at different levels. The geography database allows the user to browse through different geographic areas of which are ordered hierarchically, while the local content database includes information about general goods and services available within a given geographic location and the yellow pages database includes information about specific goods and services in the geographic location.
