  • Patent number: 9403197
    Abstract: A system for breaking down medical waste for safe disposal includes a novel disposal solution for dissolving and dispersing the medical waste, as well as a hardening agent that solidifies the disposal solution to prevent it from contaminating the environment after disposal. The novel disposal solution includes a dispersion agent that dissolves the medical waste in addition to a neutralizer, which binds to the dissolved medical waste to render it inert. The disposal solution can optionally include defoaming, preservation and/or anti-freeze agents. The system may also include a vessel with a vented cap for storing the disposal solution prior to and during use. The vessel may also be used to discard the disposal solution and broken-down medical waste after the disposal solution solidifies.

  • Patent number: 9044414
    Abstract: A composition for solvating one or more active agents in an aqueous solution which is suitable for dispensing as a compressed gas aerosol composition is disclosed. The composition includes at least one surfactant, at least one active agent, and a compressed gas propellant. The at least one surfactant is preferably present in an amount from about 0.1 wt. % to about 3 wt. %. The at least one active agent is preferably present in an amount from about 0.1 wt. % to about 2 wt. %. The compressed gas propellant is preferably present in an amount from about 0.1 wt. % to about 1 wt. %. The total surfactant weight to active agent weight ratio for the composition is preferably about 1:3 to 5:1. The composition uses a reduced amount of surfactant and active agent thereby allowing for a more efficient active agent loading and a reduced stickiness or tackiness on surfaces contacted during use.

  • Publication number: 20150132239
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a material comprising dendritic molecules each constituted of fragments that are at least bifunctional and of fragments that are of least trifunctional joined together by ester or thioester bridges, alone or in combination with amide or urea bridges, said bridges being formed from two functions carried by different fragments, said molecules containing, on the fragments located at the ends of the dendritic branches, associative end groups capable of forming associations with one another by hydrogen bonds and joined covalently to the functions that are not involved in said bridges. It also relates to the method of production thereof, as well as to its uses and to compositions, notably cosmetic, containing this material.
