Patent number: 6051214Abstract: Improved shampoos and conditioners are disclosed which provide enhanced rinseability, wet feel, detangling, dry comb feel, style management, shine and/or body to human hair. This improved performance may be achieved by incorporation of fatty acid estolides into the shampoo or conditioner. Thus, the improved shampoos of this invention include aqueous compositions of a surfactant cleansing agent, and a thickener, in combination with one or more fatty acid estolides. Similarly, the improved conditioners of this invention include aqueous compositions of a hair conditioning agent in combination with one or more fatty acid estolides.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1998Date of Patent: April 18, 2000Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Terry A. Isbell, Thomas P. Abbott, John A. Dworak

Patent number: 6018063Abstract: Esters of estolides derived from oleic acids are characterized by superior properties for use as lubricant base stocks. These estolides may also be used as lubricants without the need for fortifying additives normally required to improve the lubricating properties of base stocks.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1998Date of Patent: January 25, 2000Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Terry A. Isbell, Thomas P. Abbott, Svajus Asadauskas, Joseph E. Lohr, Jr.

Patent number: 6007823Abstract: A process for the isolation of simmondsins from jojoba meal is disclosed. Simmondsins are first extracted from defatted jojoba meal with water. After separation from the meal, this water extract is subsequently dried, leaving the simmondsins in the resulting solid. The simmondsins may then be preferentially extracted from the dried water extract by contact with a first ethanolic solvent, forming a first solvent fraction containing simmondsins therein. The first solvent fraction, which is a substantially protein-free concentrate of simmondsins, may be separated from the solid phase, and the ethanolic solvent may then be readily removed, for example, by drying. Residual simmondsins remaining in the meal following extraction with the first ethanolic solvent may also be recovered by a second extraction with ethanolic solvent.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1998Date of Patent: December 28, 1999Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Thomas P. Abbott, Brian J. Plattner, Hal C. Purcell

Patent number: 5567812Abstract: Previously unrecognized polysaccharide products are extracted from either whole Lesquerella fendleri seed or commercially processed and oil-extracted seed meal or presscake or other seed material. Processes used include the steps of: (1) combining the seed material with an aqueous solution; (2) high speed stirring or sonification of the resultant seed material for the separation of the polysaccharide from the seed; and (3) isolation of the polysaccharide from the aqueous filtrate. The resultant polysaccharides are highly polymeric and enhance solution viscosities over a wide range of pH, bleaching and salt conditions.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1994Date of Patent: October 22, 1996Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Thomas P.

Patent number: 4453371Abstract: A harness for a horse comprises leash means having a first portion and a second portion, (a) said first portion being forked to provide first and second side leashes each having end portions, (b) and second portion being a portion selected from the alternative portions: (i) a portion positionable under said horse and fastenable to the horse's tail, (ii) a portion positionable under said horse and fastenable to a girth for said horse, and (iii) a portion positionable at a front portion of said horse and fastenable to means carried by that front portion; first support means fastenable to bridle means such that said first side leash will be supported by said first support means so as to be running movable relative to said bridle means; and second support means fastenable to said bridle means such that said second side leash will be supported by said second support means so as to be running movable relative to said bridle means.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 1978Date of Patent: June 12, 1984Inventor: Thomas P. A. Abbott-Davies

Patent number: 4348492Abstract: Powdered and crumb rubber are prepared by dispersing in a starch alkoxide paste appropriately sized particles of wet curd from the precipitation of a latex emulsion, and then insolubilizing the paste by treatment with select bivalent cations. The result is a starch adduct encasing the particulate elastomer, thereby preventing agglomeration and congealing upon storage.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1980Date of Patent: September 7, 1982Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Baruch S. Shasha, Thomas P. Abbott

Patent number: 3941767Abstract: An improved process is used to prepare encased powdered elastomers which replace slab rubber in injection molding formulations and thereby eliminates the need for milling and high shear mixing. A composition is obtained which is easily blended and is capable of being automatically fed to injection molding machines, and which contains less encasement compound than prior art powdered elastomers having similar nonagglomerating and free-flowing properties.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1975Date of Patent: March 2, 1976Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventor: Thomas P. Abbott
