Abstract: A method for operating a rotating detonation engine, having a radially outer wall extending along an axis; a radially inner wall extending along the axis, wherein the radially inner wall is positioned within the radially outer wall to define an annular detonation chamber having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the method includes flowing liquid phase fuel along at least one wall of the radially inner wall and the radially outer wall in a direction from the outlet toward the inlet to cool the at least one wall and heat the liquid fuel to provide a heated liquid fuel; flowing the heated liquid fuel to a mixer at the inlet to reduce pressure of the heated liquid fuel, flash vaporize the heated liquid fuel and mix flash vaporized fuel with oxidant to produce a vaporized fuel-oxidant mixture; and detonating the mixture in the annular detonation chamber.

Abstract: There is provided a formulation for skin rejuvenation comprising lyophilised umbilical cord plasma comprising at least one active chemokine, at least one growth factor and at least one cytokine; a transdermal carrier; and a liposomal base, wherein at least a portion of the lyophilised umbilical cord plasma and transdermal carrier are contained within liposomes of the liposomal base. There is also provided a dosage form for skin rejuvenation comprising 1-5% (w/w) lyophilised umbilical cord plasma comprising at least one active chemokine, at least one growth factor and at least one cytokine; 85-95% (w/w) polyethylene glycol; and 0.1-2% (w/w) gum acacia.

Abstract: The invention relates to a muco-adherent, soluble device for administering active ingredients, a method of using said device, and an improved method of manufacturing said device using a continuous, enclosed mixing device capable of operating under pressure. The devices of the invention, which comprise a lyophilized foam and an active ingredient, have a dissolution time of at least about 8 hours, and preferably at least about 24 hours, and can provide for the sustained and/or controlled release of an active ingredient for up to about 24 hours.

Abstract: The invention relates to an intravaginally-dissolvable contraceptive suppository, a method of using said suppository, and an improved method of manufacturing said birth control device. The suppositories of the invention, which comprise a lyophilized foam and a contraceptive, have a dissolution time of at least about 2 hours, and up to about 24 hours, and provide superior protection against pregnancy.
