  • Publication number: 20250022084
    Abstract: Ethistorial Art presents a method combining historical events, NFT-based artwork, and collateralization to revolutionize artistic creation and monetization. By transforming historical incidents into art via blockchain technology, specifically Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), it links virtual and physical realms. Utilizing advanced technologies like electrical discharge machining (EDM) ensures exceptional craftsmanship and enhances the artworks' market appeal. Amalgamating NFTs with physical artifacts enables their collateralization, thus enhancing the NFTs' financial value. The method offers both artistic and practical collateral value, benefiting art collectors and enthusiasts. Intellectual property protection mechanisms secure the artworks' historical and artistic value, providing legal recognition for creators and owners. By promoting public interaction with these NFT-based artworks through performances and events, Ethistorial Art encourages cultural understanding and dialogue.

  • Publication number: 20250000782
    Abstract: This invention outlines a method for creating a xanthone-enriched toothpaste using mangosteen peel and bamboo salt. This involves obtaining and preserving mangosteen peel, extracting xanthones from the peel, and incorporation with bamboo salt into a toothpaste formula. The product is designed for efficient absorption into gum cells during brushing, leveraging xanthones and bamboo salt to penetrate dental biofilm and absorption through oral mucosa, and provides antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Xanthones are proven to inhibit tooth decay and gum disease causing oral bacteria like Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis. Mineral-rich bamboo salt adds therapeutic value to the toothpaste. The unique combination in the toothpaste helps target and combat oral health issues by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines production, inhibiting harmful bacterial activity, and enhancing oral tissue health, with direct delivery to the mouth during brushing.
