  • Patent number: 12642986
    Abstract: A dermatological phototherapy device, system, and method, including a light emitting device configured and arranged to emit light from a bottom surface thereof; and an attachment portion having an aperture therethrough configured to permit light through. The attachment portion is configured to retain the device to a user's skin using a circumferential silicone skirt and bathe the skin with phototherapeutic light from the light emitter. Attachment of the device may be preceded with the application of synergistic fluid, ointment, gel, cream, lotion, foam, soap, or other solutions which may or may not consist of known topical treatment agents, augment device attachment to the skin, and/or have photodynamic properties. The light emitted may be any wavelength, combinations of wavelengths, intensity, pulse frequency, and exposure duration.

  • Patent number: 12577180
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to fertilizer coating compositions and methods for making thereof. The fertilizer coating comprises a decarboxylated rosin acid (DCR) component, optional bitumen and other additives. The DCR has a Kb value of 25-90, a density of 0.9 to 1.0 g/cm3 at 20° C., an aniline point of 3-40° C., and an acid value of <50 mg KOH/g. The fertilizer coated with the coating composition has a reduction in dust level of >25% after 2 weeks of aging compared to a fertilizer not having the coating composition disposed thereon, according to Dust Level Measurement Test.

  • Patent number: 12527308
    Abstract: The fishing lure includes a head with a bell-shaped tip that collects water as the lure moves. The water is directed through channels, creating cavitation bubbles at the channel outlets. The body houses the electronics and weights. The body includes holes in the form of mock gills that allow water to enter. The water activates the electronics, causing the light to begin pulsing. The electronics include batteries and a light source—preferably an LED—with associated circuit board, within a waterproof shell or cover. In the preferred embodiment, a switch protrudes from the waterproof shell, the switch activated by water. The body also includes internal weights, the internal weights moving within channels within the body. The internal weights knock against each other within the channels, creating a clacking sound.

  • Publication number: 20260014387
    Abstract: The modular led light therapy mask addresses the shortcomings in the prior art by offering a modular LED light therapy mask that enables targeted treatments for various facial areas, with the flexibility to treat the upper face, lower face, or full face depending on the user's requirements. The device's innovative use of conductive magnetic connections to power and control the lower unit sets it apart from existing devices. The modular led light therapy mask for targeted facial treatments provides targeted treatments for various facial areas, including the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines, treatment of acne, lip plumping, and hairline follicle health enhancement. The device uses spectrum-specific LED light therapy to achieve its intended purposes.

  • Patent number: 12415190
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for the beneficiation of an ore in a froth flotation process. The method comprises contacting an ore in a liquid medium to a collector composition comprising a plant-derived liquid decarboxylated rosin acid (DCR) collector. The DCR comprises 40 to 100 wt. % of tricyclic compounds having 18-20 carbon atoms, one or more C?C groups, and m/z (mass/charge) value of 220-280. The DCR has an oxygen content of <5%, a density of 0.9 to 1.0 g/cm3 at 20° C., and an acid value of <50 mg KOH/g.

  • Patent number: 11660466
    Abstract: The skin therapy device combines the mechanical stimulation and cleansing in the form of vibration with optical stimulation from LEDs. The device combines these two elements without sacrificing the effectiveness of either the mechanical cleansing/stimulation or optical stimulation by passing the light through the mechanical elements that are in contact with the skin. The light from the LEDs does not pass around the mechanical elements, such as around opaque brush fibers, but passes through the mechanical elements.

  • Patent number: 11525102
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a biobased metal-working fluid (MWF) composition and method for making same, and more particularly metal-working fluid with biobased lubricants with improved emulsion stability. At least 50 wt. % of the base oil component in the MWF concentrate is a plant-derived liquid decarboxylated rosin acid oil (“DCR”). The DCR comprises 50 to 100 wt. % of tricyclic compounds having 18-20 carbon atoms, one or more C?C groups, and m/z (mass/charge) value of 220-280; an oxygen content of <5%; a density of 0.9 to 1.0 g/cm3 at 20° C.; and an acid value of <10 mg KOH/g. The resulting MWF is characterized as having comparable if not better performance compared to a MWF containing only mineral oil (e.g., Group I or Group II).
