  • Whitening tip for dental flossing device
    Patent number: 7198487
    Abstract: A power flosser tip incorporating a tooth-whitening coating. The coating is typically abrasive, and whitens teeth by scraping or wearing down hardened plaque or other tooth discolorations. The coating may also whiten teeth through a chemical reaction. The coating may be flavored in order to enhance user enjoyment. The coating is chemically bonded to the flosser tip, and dissolves when in contact with saliva or water at room temperature and pressure.
    Type: Grant

  • Liquid hydrocarbon fuel compositions containing a stable boric acid suspension
    Patent number: 6645262
    Abstract: Disclosed are liquid hydrocarbon fuel concentrates, including low sulfur liquid hydrocarbon fuel concentrates containing at least 5,000 ppm boric acid suspended in the liquid hydrocarbon fuel. The liquid hydrocarbon fuels include gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, jet fuel, boat or motorcycle fuel. Also disclosed are liquid hydrocarbon fuels compositions formed by diluting the concentrate to form compositions containing only from about 10 ppm to about 50,000 ppm boric acid. Also disclosed are liquid hydrocarbon fuel compositions formed of a reaction product of boric acid having a particle size of about 65 microns or less, associated with a liquid hydrocarbon fuel having a monomer or prepolymer chemically grafted thereon.
