Patent number: 6737077Abstract: This invention relates to chewable objects for animals which contain, as a dentally therapeutic ingredient, one or more cationic substances. The inventive therapeutic animal chews are of sufficient durability to allow for a chewing cycle long enough for the release of the aforementioned cationic substances into saliva. Furthermore, the inventive animal chews may contain an effective amount of a counter-ionic compound, such as an alkali metal salt, to allow for rapid solubilization of said cationic antimicrobial substance into the saliva of an animal chewing thereupon, especially when delivered or carried on a carrier having a negatively charged surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1999Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Oraceutical Innovative Properties LLCInventor: Robert E.

Patent number: 6576227Abstract: A peroxidase-activating oral care composition, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, includes a non-enzymatic, water-soluble hydrogen peroxide precursor and a pH-adjusting agent capable of producing a selected pH in an aqueous solution. The composition facilitates the rapid release of hydrogen peroxide and results in the activation of a peroxidase enzyme in an oral cavity. A process for manufacturing the oral care composition including obtaining the precursor, dispersing it in a non-hygroscopic material so as to coat or encapsulate it, obtaining and associating the coated or encapsulated particles with a pH-adjusting agent, and formulating the particles into an oral care composition is provided in another embodiment.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 1999Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: Oraceutical Innovative Properties, LLCInventor: Robert E.

Patent number: 6223712Abstract: An internal combustion engine comprises a piston arranged to move reciprocally in a predetermined direction relative to an engine block. A drive shaft is mounted in the engine block and arranged to be driven by the piston in rotational motion about a first axis perpendicular to the direction of motion of the piston. Rotational motion of the drive shaft is transferred to a first shaft that is mounted in the engine block parallel to the drive shaft. Rotational motion of the first shaft is then transferred to a second shaft such that the engine produces a rotational output about an output axis that is parallel to the direction of reciprocal motion of the piston.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 1999Date of Patent: May 1, 2001Inventor: Robert E. Montgomery

Patent number: 5582529Abstract: A high speed motorized water ski (10) has a hull (16) having a bow (18), a stern (20) and a deck (22) sized for accommodating a standing rider (12). A jet pump (100) is mounted in the stern (18) for discharging a propelling stream of water outwardly from the stern (18) in a direction generally parallel to a longitudinal axis (144) of the hull (16). A motor (108) is mounted within the hull (16) for driving the jet pump (100). The standing rider controls the speed of the motorized water ski (10) by means of an arm pole (26) having one end attached to the hull (16) near the bow (18). A hand grip (132) is attached to the other end of the arm pole (26) for enabling the standing rider to control motor speed and for providing stabilization to the standing rider's stance on the deck (22).Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1995Date of Patent: December 10, 1996Inventor: Robert E.

Patent number: 5310541Abstract: The invention is an animal chew which contains one or more enzymes and substrates for the purpose of generating antimicrobial compounds upon contact with an animal's saliva. The animal chew, primarily made of rawhide, contains an oxidoreductase and substrate, such as, for example, glucose oxidase and glucose, which produces hydrogen peroxide upon being chewed. The hydrogen peroxide activates the salivary peroxide system present in the saliva, which in turn produces hypothiocyanite, a potent antimicrobial agent. The animal chew may also contain added thiocyanate and iodide ions to enhance its antimicrobial activity. The chew is preferably prepared by placing it into a substrate solution for a period, drying the chew, spraying the dried rawhide chew with a solution of the oxidoreductase, and finally drying the chew again.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 1992Date of Patent: May 10, 1994Inventor: Robert E.
