Application No.: 10/917016   Filing Date: 12/Aug/2004

Abstract:

A lid for forming an airtight seal to a bowl or dish plate to elongate the life of product therein comprises an impermeable membrane having an outer perimeter larger than the rim of the container and an enforcement ring for enabling the formation of an airtight seal between the membrane and rim of the container under vacuum. The membrane is sufficiently soft to cause it to fill the lower sections or imperfections on the rim, thus enabling the lid to form an airtight seal to almost all household containers. The membrane may be adapted to have sufficient low tensile stress, thereby preventing the vacuum in the container from imploding or collapsing the container even if it has a thin or weak wall. The enforcement ring has vertical and horizontal rings connected to the membrane perimeter to prevent the membrane deformation at both vertical and horizontal directions. The lid may further comprise an air evacuation passageway having an air collection chamber for extracting air from the container and a valve for allowing air to flow out of the container but preventing air from entering. In use, the lid may be sealed to a container by simply pushing the membrane into the container and releasing the membrane to generate a vacuum to affix the membrane to the container, or may be sealed to a container by connecting a vacuum generator to the evacuation passageway to evacuate the container.

Applicant/Assignee:

Application No.: 11/233279   Filing Date: 20/Sep/2005

Abstract:

This invention discloses a method and formulation for treatment/prevention of human and animal cancers. The invention is designed to exploit the vulnerability of cancer with regards to its anaerobic requirement for non-oxidative phosphorylation of glucose to derive energy, which is opposite to the host. The composition is comprised of a combination of one or more of (A) 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone, ubiquinones (5-45) (B) compound(s) capable of augmenting oxidative phosphorylation such as a riboflavin containing compound and/or ubiquinone (50) (C) 2',3,4'5,7-pentahydroxyflavone or a lactic acid dehydrogenase inhibitor and (D) compounds (s) that antagonize gluconeogenesis from non-glucose carbon based substrates. The combination of these substances should favor oxidative loss of carbon through decarboxylation reactions, suppress gluconeogenesis and initiate collapse of glycolysis in tumor tissue, a chemical manipulation that should be non-toxic or perhaps even beneficial to normal respiring host tissue. Pilot studies indicate the treatment to be effective without side effects.

Title: Method for obtaining ozonized oils and vegetable fats and use of said products for pharmaceutical and cosmetic purposes

Applicant/Assignee:

Application No.: 10/511025   Filing Date: 28/Apr/2005

Abstract:

This invention is linked to the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, where the bactericidal, virucidal, parasiticidal and fungicidal properties of the ozonized vegetable oils and fats are considered. The emulsified vegetable oil or fat is driven to react with ozone in a bubbling reactor, covered by a jacket that makes possible to control the reaction's temperature. Ozone reacts with the double bonds present in vegetable oil or fat, giving rise to the formation of different peroxidic species, responsible for the biological action of those products. The ozonized vegetable oils and fats in those conditions are applied with satisfactory and advanced results to the treatment of diseases in diverse medical specialties, such as ophthalmology, dentistry, dermatology, gastroenterology, gynecology, parasitology, and others. Likewise, the cosmetic application of the ozonized vegetable oil and fats is described, considering their oxygenating and revitalizing properties of the skin. The results of the toxicological studies previously performed show that the products obtained according to this process do not show any cross or adverse reaction.

Title: Use of a novel phytonutrient rich bioactive concentrate (Ri-ActiveTM) for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other health disorders

Applicant/Assignee: NATURRI LLC

Application No.: 11/251875   Filing Date: 18/Oct/2005

Abstract:

The present invention is generally related to the discovery of the use of a novel composition (Ri-Active(TM)), containing a concentrate of the bioactives, micronutrients and antioxidants present in the unsaponifiable fraction of rice bran oil or rice germ oil, in the prevention and treatment of health disorders. The novel use of the by-products of rice bran oil or rice germ (and other vegetable oils) industries directly after purification and stabilization for therapeutic purposes is a unique and innovative approach that has been proved in the pilot study conducted by the current inventors. The current inventors have pioneered a new approach to prevent and treat health disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes which is both effective and inexpensive. The proprietary technology developed by the current inventors to produce Ri-Active(TM) from rice bran oil by-products or rice germ is very different from others who use these by-products to either isolate or purify individual micronutrients of value for use in other nutraceutical formulations. Most of the by-products of the edible oil refining industry are either discarded or sold at a throw away cost to the soap industry for their free fatty acid content. The novel technology and approach developed by the current inventors to utilize these low cost by-products from the edible oil refining industry and produce a highly effective therapeutic product has yielded a new and valuable use for these materials. This invention extends to the uses (therapeutic usefulness) and cost effectivity of similar whole extract concentrates of unsaponifiable micronutrients prepared from other vegetable oils rich in unsaponifiable fractions. The current discovery specifically covers the uses of Ri-Active(TM) (derived either from rice bran oil or rice germ oil), in preventing or treating cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia and arteriosclerosis. Ri-Active(TM) contains many unsaponifiable bioactives and antioxidants of rice bran and rice germ in very high concentrations in a natural lipid matrix. These constituents in their natural lipid matrix act synergistically in the treatment of cardiovascular disease and other disorders and therefore the whole extract concentrate containing these constituents is far more efficacious than administering a mixture of procured ingredients in similar concentrations. The efficacy of this novel composition (Ri-Active(TM)) in the treatment of cardiovascular disease risk factors has been proved in the pilot animal study conducted by the current inventors. Ri-Active(TM) has been tested to be safe, and highly effective in small doses.

Title: Method and apparatus to reduce wrinkles through application of radio frequency energy to nerves

Applicant/Assignee:

Application No.: 10/973170   Filing Date: 25/Oct/2004

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for reducing wrinkles in the skin tissue of a patient. The method includes detecting a nerve. The nerve can be detected by inserting an electrode into the skin tissue, delivering a current and then observing any stimulation of muscle tissue. The process of inserting the electrode, delivering current and detecting muscle stimulation may be repeated at a plurality of different skin location to trace the nerve. Once the nerve is traced, the electrode can be inserted into the skin at various locations, either at or adjacent to the nerve, and deliver energy into the tissue at a level sufficient to disrupt interaction between the nerve and the adjacent muscle. Once the nerve/muscle interaction is disrupted the muscle will be relaxed and the wrinkle(s) will either be removed or reduced.
