Abstract: A long-acting ultrasonic dispenser that effuses a water-based deodorizer solution into ambient air as a dry fog in a closed environment, and a method for deodorizing noxious odors in that closed environment by the dry fog. The dry fog, containing the deodorizer, chemically reacts with materials producing the odors, thereby neutralizing them. The dispenser contains an electronic ultrasonic wave generator comprising a piezoelectric crystal and an ultrasonic membrane, which is always submerged under liquid. As the liquid evaporates, droplets larger than five microns are filtered out, and the remaining dry fog is emitted into the air. The dispenser is connected to a large reservoir. When the liquid level reaches a minimum permissible height, additional deodorizer solution is pumped into the dispenser. This system is ideal for use with central air conditioners in large office buildings to eliminate odors over a long period of time with minimum maintenance.

Abstract: A combination of herbal extracts in aqueous solution that when sprayed into a confined area as a fine mist, chemically neutralizes a wide range of odors including those that are acidic, alkaline, and neutral in nature. While this chemical solution may contain fragrances, odor elimination occurs chemically rather than by masking.

Abstract: The Present Invention teaches herbal formulations based on a non-aqueous extract of wrightia tinctoria and an extract of cocos nucifera, which, when applied topically and used as directed in therapeutically effective amounts, have been clinically proven to be safe and effective for people needing treatment for skin conditions such as reducing or regressing dermal tortuosity, reducing spongiform pustules, and reversing and regressing stratum granulosum in keratinization disorders. The formulations can take the form of an ointment, an oil, a soap, or a shampoo.

Abstract: The Present Invention is an uncoated reduced fat, high fiber, high protein, and low calorie roasted snack peanut. The uncoated snack peanuts are manufactured using a physical process comprising expelling the oil from nutmeat kernels (defatting) using a novel pressing process that takes less than a minute. The defatting process deforms the nuts. The peanuts are reformed to their original shape using water. Then the reformed nuts are annealed using cold water to produce hardened nuts. The peanuts are then dried and roasted using state-of-the-art technology. Prior art processes that expel the oil from nuts and reconstitute them produce nuts that easily break and flake. Most of these nuts have an undesirable taste. By contrast, the uncoated, defatted peanuts of the Present Invention have hardness, texture, taste, aroma, and a physical appearance closely approximating that of natural nuts. The shelf life is improved relative to the prior art processes.

Abstract: The use of an iontophoresis electrode assembly for delivery of a drug formulation is described. The drug formulation includes an anaesthetic and a vasoconstrictor. It is administered to a patient prior to a procedure to produce clinically acceptable depth and duration of dermal anaesthesia at the portion of skin to subject to a painful procedure or to reduce or eliminate pain. The procedure is one selected from the group consisting of venipuncture, IV cannulation, needle aspirations, body piercings, blood donations, electrolysis, tattoo removal, tattoo application, injections, dermabrasion, skin peeling, high velocity particle ablation, pace maker implantation, pace maker replacement, epidural puncture, lumbar puncture, regional nerve blocks, skin harvesting, small skin incisions, skin biopsies, circumcisions or excisions. The iontophoresis electrode assembly may also be used to reduce or temporarily eliminate neuropathic pain.

Abstract: Provided are various embodiments of integrated electrode devices, assemblies and systems structured for use in association with electrically assisted delivery devices configured for delivery of a composition to a membrane. The integrated electrode devices, assemblies and systems include one or more of a variety of structural, physical, mechanical, electrical and electromechanical enhancements.

Abstract: A shelf-stable electrically assisted transdermal drug delivery system for highly effective electrotransport of an anesthetic and a vasoconstrictor producing clinically acceptable dermal anesthesia and sensation is provided. In certain embodiments the anesthetic includes lidocaine and the vasoconstrictor includes epinephrine. Medicament delivery is affected to provide dermal anesthesia with little or no sensation during delivery, as measured by a variety of indicator tests. Methods of producing dermal anesthesia in patients are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions of natural extracts in oil medium, prepared in non-free-flowing formulations, and encapsuled in hard gelatin capsules, without post-fill sealing. These compositions comprise a therapeutically effective amount of at least one natural extract in oil medium, the composition suitable for treating a medical condition, and at least one oil-absorbent ingredient in powder form. More specifically, the natural extract in the composition can be an extract of Wrightia tinctoria, which is suitable for treating medical conditions, such as, but not limited to, relief from pain, psoriasis, eczema, spondolytis, acne and wound care. The invention also provides a method for encapsulating the natural extracts in oil medium compositions, compounded in a non-free-flowing formulation, in hard gelatin capsules without the need for post-fill sealing.
