  • Patent number: 11484483
    Abstract: An alcohol-free lotion for the topical application having sanitizing properties is made by combining an aqueous phase comprising water, a water soluble preservative, an antimicrobial active, and at least one humectant with an oil phase, wherein the at least one humectant is present in the aqueous phase in the range of from 5 to 30 wt. %, wherein the oil phase comprises an oil soluble preservative, at least one surfactant, and at least one oil, wherein the surfactant is present in the oil phase in the range of from about 20 to 60 wt. %, and wherein the aqueous phase to oil phase ratio is from about 12:1 to 1:2.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10222327
    Abstract: A method of locating lead goose neck pipes connected between a water main and a water service line buried under a surface comprising, using infrared (IR) photography to scan the surface above the buried pipes; wherein the water main and water service lines are constructed of a metal having a higher thermal conductivity than lead; and determining the presence of lead by differences in surface temperatures of the lead pipe and the water main and/or the service line as indicated by the infrared photography.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8420700
    Abstract: A tamper resistant drug delivery system made of at least one lipid, at least one gelling agent and at least one sympathomimetic amine, such as for example pseudoephedrine, wherein the system gels in the presence of water or a solution containing water and ethanol, wherein the sympathomimetic amine releases into the digestive system when ingested, and wherein the weight ratio of gelling agent to lipid is less than 1:1.4.
