Abstract: A cosmetic composition consists of a combination of peptides that regenerate the dermal matrix and a rapid acting muscle relaxant derived from the extract of the plant, Acmella oleracea. By limiting cutaneous deformation caused by the contraction of facial muscles the extract increases the efficiency of the peptides in reducing expression lines.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition consisting of a combination of peptides that regenerate the dermal matrix and a rapid acting muscle relaxant derived from the extract of the plant, Acemella oleracea. By limiting cutaneous deformation caused by the contraction of facial muscles the extract increases the efficiency of the peptides in reducing expression lines.

Abstract: A component assembly for a mandibular protrusive plate orthotic has an extraoral adjustable maxillary lip shield component and a method of joining the assembly to moldable and shapeable, self-curing or heat cured thermoplastic or thermoset materials, light cured composites, and to heat softened thermolabile elastomeric materials. Another embodiment of the assembly uses a maxillary dental plate as a resistance against the upper anterior maxilla The component assembly makes it possible for a protrusive lower plate to become a mandible and tongue advancement device and still maintain the inherent properties of a true dental orthotic.

Abstract: A strapless respiratory facial mask for attachment to the wearer's face including a moldable laminated gasket member having a cushioning layer and an adhesive layer for engaging the facial contours and skin of the wearer's face; and the gasket member having a central opening for receiving the nose of the wearer. The facial mask further includes a nose piece member having a central section and three edges forming a generally triangular configuration for covering and surrounding the nose of the wearer. The central section of the nose piece member also includes a first opening for connecting to a gas supply; and the nose piece member is adhered along its three edges to the cushioning layer on the gasket member to form a peripheral seal. The central section of the nose piece member has a contoured shape for receiving the wearer's nose therein.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided an asepsis dispenser apparatus for dispensing disinfectant solutions for cleansing and decontaminating the contaminated surfaces of dental, food and medical equipment, which equipment is connected to a water source by a water inlet line. The asepsis dispenser apparatus includes a housing having an interior compartment for holding in place first and second storage canisters, containing a first disinfectant composition and a second disinfectant composition. The asepsis dispenser apparatus further includes a two-way solenoid valve connected to both of the first and second storage canisters, and a three-way solenoid valve connected to the three-way solenoid valve, wherein the three-way solenoid valve is for controlling the water source supplied to the water inlet line which is connected to the dental, food or medical equipment.

Abstract: An asepsis disinfectant composition in liquid form having germicidal and biofilm cleansing properties comprising an anti-infective, an antiseptic agent, and an anti-biofilm agent for killing pathogenic and non-pathogenic organisms being in the range of 13.0% to 45.5% by weight of the disinfectant composition; a water purifying agent for acting as a detergent, a sanitizer and a bactericide being in the range of 4.0% to 14.0% by weight of the disinfectant composition; a cleansing agent for acting as an astringent and an abradant in the removal of biofilm from contaminated surfaces, and as a bactericide and fungicide being in the range of 10.0% to 23.0% by weight of the disinfectant composition; an anti-oxidant and stabilizer agent for stabilizing anti-infective and antiseptic agent in the liquid disinfectant composition being in the range of 4.0% to 8.

Abstract: An anti-snoring device has a dental overlay portion and a guide ramp portion slidably mounted in the dental portion. The dental overlay is professionally fitted on a user's upper teeth. The guide ramp portion comfortably fits on the user's lower jaw to cause advancement of the lower jaw and tongue to thereby open the airway. The position of the ramp relative to the dental overly is locked in place with a sliding tabbed lock which fits into notches provided on an elongated stick secured to the guide ramp. The guide ramp permits lateral motion so that the lower jaw and TMJ have freedom of movement laterally so that they do not become sore and stiff.

Abstract: An anti-snoring device including a moldable dental overlay for covering the lower teeth of the user and for maintaining the tongue in contact with the palate to prevent air flow from causing the palate to reverberate during mouth breathing; an extension member fixedly connected to the front of said dental overlay; a moldable oral shield worn outside the mouth and being conformable to the user's upper lip for preventing the lower jaw from drifting inferiorly and posteriorly during sleep; and a connecting member being slidably connected to the oral shield, and having an opening for slidably receiving said extension member. The anti-snoring device may be made of thermoplastic or elastomeric resin materials for moldability to the user's mouth.

Abstract: A strapless respiratory facial mask for attachment to the wearer's face including a mask having a central section and three edges forming a generally triangular configuration for covering and surrounding the nose of the wearer; wherein the first and second edges of the mask extend along the opposite sides of the nose of the wearer, and the third edge extends across the upper lip area of the wearer. The central section of the mask is formed of a thermoplastic material and has a first central opening formed therein for making an external connection to the mask, and having a second central opening below the first central opening and an external tubular section connected to the second central opening for making a connection to a gas supply. The mask further includes an elastic and moldable cushioning material connected to the first, second and third edges of the mask to form a peripheral sealing section for engaging the facial contours and skin of the wearer's face.

The anti-snoring device may be made of thermoplastic or elastomeric resin materials for moldability to the user's mouth.

Abstract: An anti-snoring device including a denture member for covering the lower teeth of the user and for maintaining the tongue in contact with the palate to prevent air flow from causing the palate to reverberate during mouth breathing; an extension member fixedly connected to the front of the denture member; and a flexible oral shield having an opening for slidably receiving the extension member and having at least one breathing hole. The flexible oral shield is worn outside the mouth and is conformable to the user's lips for preventing the lower jaw from drifting inferiorly and posteriorly during sleep.
