Abstract: A formulation of Collagen peptides with enzyme inhibitors and hyaluronic acid would increase the levels of collagen and elastin and hyaluronic acid for a long period of time, and would decrease the rate of aging, and age-related changes in the skin and other organs. During aging, the levels of these molecules decrease because of enhanced activities of their respective enzymes. Current approach has utilized collagen peptides alone to increase the levels of collagen and elastin in order to maintain healthy skin. In the absence of inhibitors of enzymes collagenase and elastase, and hyaluronic acid, the levels of collagen peptides, elastin, and hyaluronic acid would decrease. Consequently, the beneficial effects of collagen peptides alone would be reduced within a short period of time.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for growing crystals. The method includes substantially fully covering a seed crystal in a charge material, using a heat source to melt the charge material, cooling the seed crystal to keep the seed crystal at least partially intact as the charge material melts, allowing at least a portion of the seed crystal to melt into the molten charge material, and continually growing the crystal by reducing the temperature of the heat source, moving the molten charge material and seed crystal from the heat source, and increasing a rate of cooling of the seed crystal.

Abstract: Methods and systems related to an improved controlled heat extraction system for crystal growth, such as sapphire crystal growth are described, including methods and systems for mechanical probe-based and pyrometer-based inspection and automation processes, methods and systems for avoiding fusion of components, methods and systems for purging an inspection window, and methods and systems related to alternative crucible shapes.

Abstract: A controlled heat extraction system and method thereof is disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes a housing to form a chamber. The system further includes a seed cooling component adapted to support a bottom of the crucible and to receive a coolant fluid to cool the supported portion of the crucible. The system also includes at least one heating element substantially surrounding the seed cooling component and the crucible to heat the crucible, where the seed cooling component along with the crucible is movable relative to the at least one heating element. Furthermore, the system includes an insulating element substantially surrounding the crucible, the seed cooling component and the at least one heating element. Additionally, the system includes a gradient control device (GCD) movable relative to the insulating element, the at least one heating element, the seed cooling component and the crucible over a range of positions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus, and product by process, for the production of bulk polysilicon by broad area chemical vapor deposition, consisting of a quartz envelope and base plate forming a reactor enclosure, with external radiant heaters providing the heat source. A thin wall, edge-defined film fed growth (EFG) silicon tube section is used as the deposition casing and reaction chamber wall. The tube is capped at the top and sealed to the base plate to form the reaction chamber. External heaters radiate heat through the quartz enclosure to heat the tube wall to deposition temperature. A through flow of process gas is introduced to initiate the deposition. A uniform wide surface area deposit occurs on the inside surface of the tube, causing the diameter to become increasingly smaller as the yield accumulates.
