  • Skin probiotic formulation
    Patent number: 11504404
    Abstract: Microbes can be genetically modified to express biomolecules that are beneficial to mammals and/or to reduce, or eliminate, expression of harmful virulence factors. The growth and viability of such genetically modified microbes can optionally be controlled by inducible promoters that regulate the expression of proteins that are essential to their growth and survival. Compositions comprising such genetically modified microbes as well as methods of making and using the same are disclosed herein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 24, 2017
    Date of Patent: November 22, 2022
    Assignee: CROWN LABORATORIES, INC.
    Inventors: Thomas Hitchcock, Mun Su Rhee
  • Insulated transportation trailer
    Patent number: 10766396
    Abstract: A transportation trailer can include a cargo tank with a shell that includes an outer wall, an inner wall, and an insulating core between the outer wall and the inner wall. The shell can be unsupported by structural rings, and the cargo tank can be a frameless cargo tank. The cargo tank can be formed by decoiling respective coils of inner-wall material, outer-wall material, and insulating-core material, joining the inner-wall material, the insulating-core material, and the outer-wall material to form a sandwich-type panel, and welding the sandwich-type panel to form the shell.
