  • Patent number: 8673371
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composition for treating or preventing vitiligo or canities comprising Sophora japonica extract as an active ingredient. The Sophora japonica extract enhances melanin synthesis by increasing the activity of tyrosinase which is critical in intracellular melanin synthesis and promoting the expression of tyrosinase and TRP-2 mRNA. Furthermore, since the Sophora japonica extract is a natural substance with little cytotoxicity, it may be developed into a therapeutic agent for vitiligo and canities caused by depigmentation in skin and hair.

  • Patent number: 6761558
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a heating apparatus using thermal reaction of brown gas. After brown gas generated from a brown gas generator passes hexane liquid in a flame arrester, it is burnt in a brown gas burner located at a lower portion of a heating element. Heating members are installed in multi-stage inside a heating element body of a hollow form. The heating element body located at each stage includes vent holes and exhaust openings. A cover is disposed on the top of the heating element. The heating member located at the lower portion is heated by flame of the brown gas, and then also the heating member located at an upper portion is heated by flame of high temperature caused by the thermal reaction of the brown gas, which gradually heats the lower heating member. After all, the whole heating members are heated to emit a vast heat.

  • Publication number: 20040013988
    Abstract: A brown gas combustion apparatus and heating system using the same is provided in which a brown gas generated from a brown gas generator flows into a water-tight flame arrester filled with hexane(C6H14) of hydrocarbon systems so as to mix the brown gas with a small amount of hexane gas, to thereby delay the combustion speed and fundamentally prevent flash-back or back-fire. The brown gas combustion apparatus includes a heating unit which is directly heated by a burner and radiates heat. The heating system includes the combustion apparatus installed upright therein, and is configured in that the high temperature water molecules scattered from the combustion apparatus absorb the infrared ray radiated from an infrared ray radiation member within the combustion chamber, and oscillate in an ultra high temperature by self-heating.

  • Patent number: 6443725
    Abstract: An energy generating apparatus using the cyclic combustion of Brown gas is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a heat generating unit, an outer wall, a Brown gas generator, an open-shut valve and a burner. The heat generating unit is positioned on a base. The outer wall surrounds the heat generating unit so as to define a combustion chamber, is provided with a discharge hole at its upper portion, and radiates infrared rays. The Brown gas generator is used to generate Brown gas. The open-shut valve is positioned between supply pipes so as to block the Brown gas discharged from the Brown gas generator. The burner is used to heat the heat generating unit by burning Brown gas supplied through the open-shut valve and the supply pipes.

  • Patent number: 6397834
    Abstract: The Brown gas heating furnace made of mineral stone maintains a desired temperature with a small amount of fuel. The brown gas heating furnace includes a hollow base, having burner mounting holes formed in a top wall of the base, and a door mounted at a front side of the base. The burners are centrally mounted in the burner mounting holes of the base, with branch ducts connecting each of the burners to a Brown gas supply duct. A heating section consisting of firebricks stacked together in a staggered fashion on the top wall of the base encloses the burner mounting holes, with a furnace section seated on the base and having a combustion chamber surrounding the heating section. The furnace section also has venting holes adapted to vent the combustion chamber to the atmosphere. The furnace section may include stacked blocks made of mineral stone, biotite, germanium, or jade, or may use hollow mineral stones.
