  • Patent number: 8288441
    Abstract: The present invention concerns enhancements in the cooling effects of certain physiological coolant-containing compositions such as topically applied cosmetic, toiletry or pharmaceutical products, wherein the cooling effect of the physiological coolants is enhanced by the addition of a substance according to formula (I) or dermatologically acceptable salts thereof: R1—CR2(OR3)—CO—NR4—CR5R6—X—OR7??(I) It was found that substances represented by formula (I) are capable of bringing about greater cooling effects from reduced concentrations of physiological coolants without behaving as physiological coolants themselves, thereby enabling the preparation of compositions that do not necessarily have the characteristic minty odor of menthol-containing products and/or to allow greater freedom in creating perfumed products.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2008
    Date of Patent: October 16, 2012

  • Patent number: 5770189
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of dibutyl malate as an attractant for domestically occurring flies, particularly of the species Musca domestica and Fannia canicularis, and to insect traps characterized by emanating dibutyl malate vapors. Preferably the dibutyl malate is diluted before evaporation with a liquid diluent or a solid diluent or carrier such that the concentration in or on the trap is below 10% by weight.
