Patent number: 8404225Abstract: The invention disclosed relates to the detection of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptra: B-prestidae) and in particular to the use of contact sex phenomones therefor. Analysis of the elytral hydrocarbons from male and female emerald ash borer, that were freshly emerged vs. sexually mature (>10 days old) revealed a female-specific compound, 9-methyl-pentacosane (9-Me-C25), only present in sexually mature females. This material was synthesized by the Wittig reaction of 2-decanone with (n-hexadecyl)-triphenylphosphonium bromide followed by catalytic reduction to yield racemic 9-Me C25, which matched the natural compound by GC/MS (retention time and EI-mass spectrum). In field bioassays with freeze-killed sexually mature A. planipennis females, feral males spent significantly more time in contact and attempting copulation with unwashed females than with females that had been washed in n-hexane to remove the cuticular hydrocarbons.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2009Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: National Research Council of CanadaInventors: Peter Silk, Jon Sweeney, Krista Ryall, Barry Lyons

Publication number: 20130053932Abstract: A method includes positioning an effective amount of a thermal target material at a treatment site of a patient. The treatment site, that is, the location of the thermal target material, comprises a location adjacent to biological tissue to be treated. The thermal target material includes carbon molecules preferably in a carrier fluid. Regardless of the particular structure of the carbon, the carbon molecules in the material heat very rapidly in response to incident microwave radiation and radiate heat energy. The heat energy radiated from an effective amount of the thermal target material when subjected to an effective quantity of microwave energy causes localized heating around the thermal target material. This localized heating may be applied for therapeutic purposes. However, the microwave radiation necessary to produce therapeutically effective heating is insufficient to cause cellular damage in the biological tissue by direct absorption in the tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2012Publication date: February 28, 2013Applicant: CLEAN TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventor: Clean Technology International Corporation

Patent number: 7968124Abstract: Methods of attenuating the toxic or medically undesirable effects of drugs and toxins in a human by administering to a human an injectable formulation comprised of a dispersion of particles comprised of reversed cubic or reversed hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystalline material. The particles absorb or adsorb or otherwise sequester and attenuate the effect of drugs and toxins, and may be used as a rescue or reversal agent, or as a prophylaxis. The invention is especially applicable in reversing adverse effects of local anesthetics inadvertently delivered systemically, and attenuating the therapeutic effects of general anesthetics in the course of treatment.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2007Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Lyotropic Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: David M. Anderson, Vincent M. Conklin, Benjamin G. Cameransi

Publication number: 20110123578Abstract: Wiping products, such as facial tissues, contain an interior temperature change composition and an exterior hydrophilic lotion composition that can provide a cooling sensation when contacted with the skin of a user. The temperature change composition, for instance, can contain one or more phase change agents that undergo a phase change at slightly elevated temperatures. The phase change agents, in one embodiment, can have a relatively high heat of fusion. When undergoing a phase change, the phase change agents absorb heat and thereby provide a cooling feeling to the skin of a user. The hydrophilic lotion composition may contain a carrier and a thermo-reversible gelling agent. The hydrophilic lotion composition maintains the temperature change composition within the tissue and helps to prevent skin irritation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2009Publication date: May 26, 2011Inventors: Scott W. Wenzel, Jeffery Richard Seidling, Helen Kathleen Moen, Frederick John Lang, Stephanie Diane Scharenbroch, Mark Anthony Barnes, Judy Marie Casper
