  • Patent number: 10869907
    Abstract: Meshes for use to control the movement of bodily fluids, such as blood, are described herein. The mesh can be partially or completely biodegradable or non-biodegradable. In one embodiment, the mesh is formed from one or more self-assembling peptides. The peptides can be in the form of fibers, such as nanofibers. The peptides can be assembled prior to formation of the mesh or after the mesh has been formed but before it is applied. Alternatively, the mesh can be prepared from unassembled peptides, which assemble at the time of application. The peptides can assemble upon contact with bodily fluids (e.g., blood) or can be contacted with an ionic solution to initiate assembly.

  • Publication number: 20120144912
    Abstract: A set of volumetric measuring devices or portioning scoops are used in a weight loss and weight maintenance program. Each scoop is configured to measure a single portion size for any particular food in a respective food category. Single portions of foods are measured by the scoop for the category that limits the calorie value of the food portion within a small range. For some foods, a single portion size may be one measured volume of a scoop, whereas for other foods a single portion may two or more measured volumes of the scoop. Over time (e.g., a week or a month), the calorie intake from foods measured with a particular scoop will average to a desired amount within the parameters of the program. A chart may be used in conjunction with the scoops depicting the respective categories, foods in each category of food, and a number of volumes of each scoop corresponding to a portion size.

  • Patent number: 6267269
    Abstract: A portable receptacle, to be carried by a golfer, to repair and restore divot marks by dispensing sand and related granular material on the golf course.
