  • Patent number: 11771765
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of treating skin and scalp comprising applying on the scalp or skin a composition comprising a scalp care active selected from the group consisting of 2-Pyridinol-N-oxide, a pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione, one or more iron chelator having an A log P value of greater than or equal to 0.4 and mixtures therein; exposing the scalp and skin to electromagnetic radiation having wavelength from about 350 nm to about 500 nm and power from about about 0.1 mWatts/cm2 to about 1000 mWatts/cm2 and for a time period from about 2 seconds to about 5 minutes; wherein the antimicrobial treatment results in reduction of fungal growth as measured by the Fungal Growth Sensitivity Test of at least 50% compared to the dark sample.

  • Patent number: 11051426
    Abstract: Immersion cooling enclosures with insulating liners and associated computing facilities are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an immersion cooling enclosure includes a well formed in a substrate material, a lid in contact with and fastened to the well to enclose an internal space configured to contain a dielectric coolant submerging one or more computing devices in the internal space, and an insulating liner on the internal surfaces of the well. The insulating liner has a first side in contact with the dielectric coolant and a second side in contact with the substrate material of the well. The insulating liner is non-permeable to the dielectric coolant, thereby preventing the dielectric coolant from passing through the insulating liner to the substrate material.

  • Publication number: 20190320553
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a hermetically sealed container may have sides defining an interior portion that is able to hold gas at high pressure, such as at least substantially 2 times standard atmospheric pressure. One or more data center computer servers may be located within the interior portion and the high pressure may improve heat transfer for a data center. At least one side of the container may include a hermetically sealed electrical and/or optical feed-through providing an ability to connect the computer server to an element outside of the interior portion (e.g., a power source and/or another data center computer server) and a mechanism to remove heat from the container, such as a liquid loop heat exchanger, etc.
