  • Patent number: 8685379
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a high concentration functional material gel composition and effective delivery composition thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a high concentration functional material gel composition comprising a small organic molecule having at least one of a carbonyl group and at least one of an isolated hydroxyl group from the carbonyl group as a defined mandatory element holding and delivering amounts of functional materials. This is achieved without depending on employing additional incompatible materials in the functional composition, including for example inorganic salts, polymers, absorbents petroleum waxes, and paraffin hydrocarbons.

  • Publication number: 20110006570
    Abstract: There is provided a chair with an improved back support system and method for adjusting and arranging the same. The back support device having a rigid member with a continuously curved projection part along three dimensional curve direction to enable correction of a user's posture or spinal orientation via a plurality of fixed or positionable undulating curved supports, or a monolithic rigid support body. The proposed system and method improves user fatigue, relieves pressures to internal organs, and minimizes unintended body movement causing undesirable muscle tensions.

  • Publication number: 20070166341
    Abstract: This invention provides a solid air freshener and method for manufacturing the same wherein a composition is constructed from a first material being a solid volatile material at an ambient temperature and a second material being a vicious oily fluid volatile material at ambient temperature. The present invention combines the first and second materials to make a solid, in one embodiment a solid, crystalline or semi-crystalline, air freshener as a substitute for scented candles that is solid at ambient temperatures. The present invention provides for an improved mechanism for delivering scent without a risk of fire or liquid wax. The present product may be retained in a monolithic construct, or ground as a small powder. Applications include a room air freshener, carpet deodorizer, toilet freshener, etc. Antimicrobial oily compositions may be included to limit unhealthy buildups.

  • Publication number: 20070163923
    Abstract: This invention provides a method and system for environmental reclamation and removal of organic chemical contaminants and fluid spills employing a liquefied or solid wax system to capture, to improve the ease of recovery for spilled oil, and to preserve the oil for later complete reclamation. The present system enables the easy application of a waxy composition having a solidus-liquidus transformation temperature (TC) above that of seawater and below that endangering human life during application (approximately 120-180° F.). The present invention enables application of liquefied wax or a solid wax particle or block to the water-containing oil from a top and a bottom surface with equal effect. The present system also enables reclamation and recovery of oil-saturated particulates that are heated, while preserving the oil and wax for later recapturing and separation.
