Patent number: 8404255Abstract: In the preferred embodiment, the invention is a system for creating micropores in the skin for transdermal drug delivery through the micropores and includes: a chemical that dissolves or breaks down superficial layers of skin; a chemical delivery element that holds and delivers controlled volumes of the chemical to skin, creating micropores; and a base that is able to temporarily couple to skin, contains the chemical delivery elements, and may activate the chemical delivery elements to administer the chemical to skin. In the preferred embodiment, the invention is a method for delivering drugs transdermally that includes providing a carrier containing a chemical delivery element with a chemical to break down superficial layers of skin; placing the carrier into contact with skin; activating the chemical delivery element; allowing the chemical to break down superficial layers of skin and creating micropores; and providing a drug to be delivered transdermally through the micropores.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2008Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Inventors: Matt Gibson, Takashi Yoshida Kozai, Erin Purcell

Patent number: 6129605Abstract: The modular base for a playing structure, such as a toy building set, includes a first planar member, or tile base, having attachment fittings on its bottom for removable attachment to a substructure, such as a lattice. The top of the first planar member has attachment fittings thereon. Preferably, each of the attachment fittings on the top of the first planar member are aligned with one of the attachment fittings on the bottom to form a common opening through the first planar member. The modular base also includes a second planar member, or tile, having attachment fittings on its bottom. The attachment fittings are preferably protrusions that are most preferably clover leaf in shape and have an interference fit with the attachment fittings on the top of the first planar member that are most preferably square openings.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1997Date of Patent: October 10, 2000Assignee: Parvia CorporationInventors: Peter Cyrus, Sean Cryan, Steve Proctor, Rich Franko, Chris Brady, David Wicklander, Gary Franz, William Burns, Matt Gibson, Rebecca Jaynes

Patent number: 5993283Abstract: A modular building for a toy building set includes a planar member, or foundation, having raised ribs on its top and a wall member having a wall portion and a base portion. The wall portion of the wall member is substantially orthogonal to the base portion of the wall member. The base portion of the wall member has a cleft therein sized to receive one of the ribs of the foundation to removably attach the wall member to the foundations. A substantially planar coupler connects at least two or more of the foundation. The coupler has at least two clefts therein. The clefts are sized to receive the ribs on each of the two foundations for removable attachment of the foundation to the coupler.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1997Date of Patent: November 30, 1999Assignee: Parvia CorporationInventors: Peter Cyrus, Sean Cryan, Steve Proctor, Rich Franko, Chris Brady, David Wicklander, Gary Franz, Matt Gibson

Patent number: 5947787Abstract: The modular lattice substructure for a playing structure, such as a toy building set, includes elongate beams, elongate joists, and columns having a height greater than the height of the elongate beams and joists. The sides of the columns have a protrusion connector removably attachable to a slot connector in the ends of the elongate beams and the ends of the elongate joists.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1997Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Assignee: Parvia CorporationInventors: Peter Cyrus, Sean Cryan, Steve Proctor, Rich Franko, Chris Brady, David Wicklander, Gary Franz, William Burns, Matt Gibson

Patent number: 5924905Abstract: The modular terrain for a playing structure, such as a toy building set, includes a plurality of terrain pieces. Some of the terrain pieces have a flat exterior edge. The flat exterior edge is only matable with a flat exterior edge on another of the terrain pieces. The flat exterior edge has spaced longitudinal end points. The flat exterior edge has no change in height between the spaced longitudinal end points. The distance between the spaced longitudinal end points of the flat exterior edge is one of Y, .sqroot.2Y and 2.sqroot.2Y. Some of the terrain pieces have a hill exterior edge. The hill exterior edge is only matable with a hill exterior edge on another of the terrain pieces. The hill exterior edge has spaced longitudinal end points. The hill exterior edge has a change in height between the spaced longitudinal end points of X. The distance between the spaced longitudinal end points of the hill exterior edge is Y. Some of the terrain pieces have a slope exterior edge.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1997Date of Patent: July 20, 1999Assignee: Parvia CorporationInventors: Peter Cyrus, Steve Proctor, Rich Franko, Chris Brady, David Wicklander, Gary Franz, William Burns, Matt Gibson, Rebecca Jaynes

Patent number: 5865661Abstract: A toy vehicular drive apparatus includes a first roadway having an electrically conductive underside and a second roadway having an electrically conductive top and being under the first roadway. A subsurface powered vehicle is movable on the second roadway and has electrically conductive elements in contact with the electrically conductive underside of the first roadway and in contact with the electrically conductive top of the second roadway. A power source connected to the first roadway and the second roadway electrically energizes the first roadway and the second roadway to provide power to the powered subsurface vehicle. The toy vehicular drive apparatus also includes a surface vehicle movable on the top of the first roadway. A magnet on the surface vehicle and a magnet on the powered subsurface vehicle provide interconnection of the surface vehicle and the powered subsurface vehicle to cause movement of the surface vehicle in response to movement of the powered subsurface vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1997Date of Patent: February 2, 1999Assignee: Parvia CorporationInventors: Peter Cyrus, Steve Proctor, Sean Cryan, Rich Franko, Matt Gibson, Peter M.
