US PATENTS IN NANOTECHNOLOGY FOR SKIN CARE GRANTED FROM 1980 TO 2009
Patent No.: US 4195641 A
Issued: 1980-04-01
Title: Spectroscopic analysis of chemical
substances
Applicant: BURTON LARRY W; JOINES WILLIAM T; RAFAL MARC D; SPOCK
ALEXANDER
Application No.: US1977-0860983 Applic. Date: 1977-12-
15
Abstract: An intense electric field is employed as the external source of energy in
carrying to a spectroscopic analysis of a chemical composition. The substance to be analyzed is placed
between an insulated conductive electrode and a ground reference. A high voltage is then applied to the
electrode to generate an electric field of a predetermined intensity within the test sample. As a result
of the energy absorbed, the constituents of the sample are caused to release their characteristic
spectral emissions. These emissions are optically filtered to isolate the wavelength of interest which
is passed to a light detector and registered on a photon counting system. The procedure is especially
and uniquely applicable for conducting an in situ chemical analysis of human sweat, thus offering a
valuable aid in the diagnosis of various medical abnormalities.

Title: Processes of making a porous
membrane material from polyvinylidene fluoride, and products
Applicant: MILLIPORE
CORP
Application No.: US1977-0800574 Applic. Date: 1977-05-
25
Abstract: Covers processes for making microporous membranes and molecular filtration
membranes from vinylidene fluoride polymers, and the products so produced. A continuous version of the
process consists of applying a layer of a solution of a polyvinylidene fluoride polymer to a rigidly
supported surface of a backing belt to form a film, then passing the belt through a formation bath, in
which the membrane is formed. To form the polymer solution, the polymer is dissolved in a liquid vehicle
that will dissolve up to about 25% by weight of the polymer at a temperature of at least 50 DEG C. but
that dissolves substantially less of the polymer at about 20 DEG C. (room temperature). The polymer
solution is formed at 50 DEG C. or higher, and the formation bath is maintained at about room
temperature.; The formation bath is a mixture of the liquid vehicle solvent with a second liquid that is
miscible with the solvent but that is not itself a solvent for the polymer. The film is maintained
immersed in the formation bath until it has been converted to a porous membrane whose pore structure is
essentially fully formed, by leaching of the solvent from the film and its replacement with the non-
solvent liquid. Thereafter the residual solvent is extracted from the porous membrane, and after
separation of the membrane from the backing belt, the membrane is dried. The preferred solvent - non-
solvent system for the formation bath is acetone-water. A preferred formation bath composition is from
about 70% to about 80% acetone by volume.

Title: Method and apparatus for measuring moisture content of
skin
Applicant: XIENTA INC (US)
Application No.: US1978-0909664 Applic.
Date: 1978-05-25
Abstract: There are disclosed a method and an apparatus for measuring
moisture content of skin. The skin surface is illuminated with polarized light incident at the Brewster
angle. The degree of polarization of the light refracted within the skin and reflected out is measured.
The measurement is a function of the refractive index of the skin which, in turn, is a function of the
moisture content. To avoid measurement variations due to such things as skin color, output readings are
in the form of a ratio of the reflected polarized light intensity to the reflected total light
intensity.

Abstract:
The combined sensor with a thermostatted heating device (7, 23) for the simultaneous and continuous
transcutaneous measurement of oxygen (O2) and of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood contains a measuring
device (1) for the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2), in which there is pure optical/spectrometric
operation or which operates on the principle of pH measurement in an electrolyte (8), and which is
separated from the measuring site on the skin by a membrane (13) which is permeable to both CO2 and
light, and contains another measuring device (24, 25, 26) for the spectrometric measurement of the blood
oxygen saturation (sO2).; The advantage over a known pO2/pCO2 combined sensor is that the combined
sensor according to the invention can be operated at a low operating temperature of, for example, 42 DEG
C. or less, so that continuous measurement for 24 hours, for example, is possible without resiting or
recalibrating the sensor, and thus it is simple to use in the domestic milieu.

Abstract: Water insoluble polymers are treated to
place on their exposed surfaces the pendant alkyl imidocarbonyl (amide) groups to impart a high degree
of hydrophilicity to that surface. Nitrile-containing polymers or copolymers in the form of insoluble
films, filters or membranes are treated to convert a substantial fraction of the surface nitrile groups
into the corresponding amide by the use of hydrogen peroxide or concentrated acids. The surface is
rendered hydrophilic and resistant to fouling to the extent that even proteins are not denatured
thereupon. The surface may also be converted to substituted amides by subsequent reactions to impart to
it other functionalities or to serve as the basis for coupling reactions.; Other polymers capable of
surface treatment to produce pendant amidocarbonyl groups include ones containing pendant esters which
on cleavage of the oxygen-carbon bond give pendant alcohol groups. These are converted by
cyanoethylation to form the pendant nitrile groups which can be converted to the amide. Other polymers
which on hydrolysis give pendant carboxylic acids can be treated with ammonia to also produce pendant
amide groups.

Abstract: A laser treatment method is provided which removes pigment containing
lesions, both normal and abnormal medically, from the skin of a living human. The methodology comprises
a carefully controlled irradiation of the chosen treatment site on the skin of a living human; avoids
the creation of cosmetically disfiguring scars; and eliminates the typical hypopigmentation as well as
the pitting and other changes in skin texture normally accompanying conventionally known laser treatment
techniques.

Applicant: GREEN HOWARD A (US)
Application No.:
US1993-0031242 Applic. Date: 1993-03-12
Abstract: A method for treating
dermatological organ disorders and skin lesions in a mammal through the use of directed, pulsed laser
light is described. The dermatological disorders are characterized by an increase in concentration of
potential photodynamic chemical compounds like carotenoid compounds, and especially the carotenoid beta
-carotene, compared to normal skin. Pulsed dye laser light of a time and duration specific for maximal
absorption by a carotenoid compound like beta-carotene is directed at the regions of carotenoid
accumulation within a skin disorder. Thermal coagulation necrosis of the carotenoid-accumulating skin
region results, though thermal damage to surrounding tissue is limited in
amount.

breast. Locations of the input and output ports are selected to examine a tissue region of the breast.
Light pulses of a selected wavelength and duration less than a nanosecond are introduced into the breast
tissue at the input port and detected over time at the detection port. Signals corresponding to photons
of detected modified pulses are accumulated over time. Values of a scattering coefficient or an
absorption coefficient of the examined breast tissue are calculated based on the shape of the modified
pulses. The examined breast tissue is characterized based on the values of the scattering coefficient or
the absorption coefficient.; Absorbing or fluorescing contrast agents may be introduced into the
examined tissue. This method may be used in conjunction with x-ray mammography, needle localization
procedure or MRI mammography.

Abstract: According to the invention, a method is provided for disrupting the targeted
lesion in skin, such as is necessary in treatment of vascular or pigmented lesions. A microplasma is
generated in a target region of skin, the microplasma disrupting the skin ("plasma ablation")
to enable removal of the targeted lesion. The microplasma absorbs radiation energy and expands, creating
high pressure in the surrounding region which causes disruption of the targeted lesion in that region. A
beam of pulsed laser radiation can be used to generate the microplasma by properly controlling the peak
irradiance, the pulse duration and the focal spot size of the beam. The invention enables use of a laser
having small pulse energy. A synchronized laser beam scan device can be used to scan the beam to provide
a highly efficient system for rapid skin treatment.

convection or radiation to thereby affect the continued growth of the beak. Such heating of the bird's
upper beak provides a debeaking method which allows the bird's upper beak to stay in place for several
days allowing the bird to eat and drink. Heating the portion of the upper beak also allows the poultry
tongue and lower beak to be shielded from the heat causing less trauma and injury to the bird. The heat
may be directed onto the poultry upper beak by radiation or convection.

Title: Dermatological laser treatment system with electronic
visualization of the area being treated
Applicant: LUCID TECH INC (US)
Application No.: US1995-0395223 Applic. Date: 1995-02-27
Abstract: A
hand held microsurgical instrument for applying laser energy to selected locations (sites) in an area
under the skin (or other exposed translucent tissue) to provide localized photothermolysis of underlying
tissue at these sites, is described. The laser energy is focused into a spot within the tissue. This
spot is of sufficiently small size so that the energy density is sufficient to provide surgical or
treatment effects within the tissue without damaging the surface tissue. In dermatology, for example,
the technique can be used to destroy endothelial cells in blood vessels which are desired to be removed,
such spider veins (nevi) in the skin, hair follicles to prevent hair growth therefrom, or other
microsurgical procedures. The area is visualized while the laser beam is steered, using a deflection
system, in X and Y coordinates.; A telecentric optical system, in which a mirror of the deflection
system is located, directs the laser light essentially perpendicular to the area to be treated as the
beam is scanned over the area. The optical system also focuses illumination light reflected from the
area to a sensor matrix of a CCD video camera. The reflected illumination light is imaged essentially
parallel to the optical axis in the object space thereby providing a precise, high resolution image
corresponding to the area. The laser beam may be tracked as it is deflected over the area to the
selected locations by visualization thereof on a display or monitor associated with the video camera.
The locations are then apparent to the treating physician who can then effect an increase of the beam
power or turn the beam on so as to treat the tissue in the selected locations.

Abstract: A
burn evaluation apparatus and related method, that allows a surgeon to make a quick evaluation of the
extent and depth of a skin burn injury by employing induced ultraviolet or blue light fluorescence
spectroscopy and visible and infrared reflectance spectroscopy. The apparatus monitors the condition of
the structural and metabolic constituents in the injured skin. The apparatus includes a plurality of
light sources, a sensor, a microprocessor, and several optical fiber bundles. The light sources emit
excitation light at predetermined wavelengths, and when each is activated, the sensor measures the
amount return light received within several wavelength bands of interest. A side fiber bundle spaced
about a centimeter from a main fiber bundle assists in detecting tissue water below the burn area.; By
optically evaluating the skin at the burn site, the apparatus prevents the unnecessary removal of viable
skin that will heal spontaneously within a few weeks, thereby reducing the amount of skin that must be
surgically grafted.

Abstract: A process for the long term or permanent prevention of growth of unwanted
hair. The upper portions of hair ducts (i.e. portions near the skin surface) in a section of skin are
infiltrated with a contaminant having a high absorption at at least one frequency band of light. The
skin is then illuminated using a process having at least two distinct phases. In a
"mechanical" phase the skin section is illuminated (e.g., by a laser) with at least one short
pulse of light sufficient to cause tiny explosions in the contaminant forcing portions of the
contaminant more deeply into the hair ducts. During a "thermal" phase the skin section is then
illuminated so as to heat the contaminant substantially without further explosion or vaporization of the
contaminant.; The hot contaminant heats portions of the skin tissue immediately surrounding the
contaminant to a temperature high enough and for a long enough period of time to devitalize the tissue.
The process may also include a "cleanup" phase, during which the skin section is illuminated
with a few short pulses of light to cause additional explosions in and vaporization of portions of the
contaminant then remaining in the ducts and additional damage to the skin tissue immediately surrounding
the contaminant.

Abstract: The present invention provides a very simple easily administered skin
treatment process for (1) the removal of superficial epidermal skin cells in the human skin (2) the
reduction or removal of unwanted hair and (3) the mitigation of skin conditions such as acne and
seborrhea. A contaminant having a high absorption at at least one wavelength of light is topically
applied to a section of the surface of the skin. A preferred contaminant is a mixture of 20% by weight
of one micron graphite particles in mineral oil. Graphite is a very strong absorber of 1.06 micron light
produced by the Nd:YAG laser. Portions of the contaminant are forced to infiltrate into spaces between
the superficial epidermal cells, into hair ducts in the skin and into and/or adjacent to sebaceous
glands.; The skin section is illuminated with short laser pulses at the matching wavelength, so as to
impact sufficient energy to the contaminant to cause explosion in the contaminant. The energy released
in the course of the explosions may blow off layers of dead skin cells and/or destroy tissue responsible
for hair growth and/or sebum production.

required electrical field over a larger area when operating in the iontophoretic mode as well as
increasing the ability of the counter electrode to compensate for the larger sensing electrode
facilitated by this new design.

Title: Skin treatment process using laser
Applicant: THERMOLASE CORP

Application No.: US1998-0168202 Applic. Date: 1998-10-

Abstract: The present invention provides a very simple easily administered skin
treatment process for (1) the removal of superficial epidermal skin cells in the human skin (2) the
reduction or removal of unwanted hair and (3) the mitigation of skin conditions such as acne and
seborrhea. A contaminant having a high absorption at at least one wavelength of light is topically
applied to a section of the surface of the skin. A preferred contaminant is a mixture of 20% by weight
of one micron graphite particles in mineral oil. Graphite is a very strong absorber of 1.06 micron light
produced by the Nd:YAG laser. Portions of the contaminant are forced to infiltrate into spaces between
the superficial epidermal cells, into hair ducts in the skin and into and/or adjacent to sebaceous
glands.; The skin section is illuminated with short laser pulses at the matching wavelength, so as to
impact sufficient energy to the contaminant to cause explosion in the contaminant. The energy released
in the course of the explosions may blow off layers of dead skin cells and/or destroy tissue responsible
for hair growth and/or sebum production.

patient suffering from cyanide poisoning has been burnt, the present invention provides for a
noninvasive means of cyanide treatment. In practice, a material is impregnated with methemoglobin and
attached to a patient's skin. A barrier means located between the impregnated material and the patient's
skin allows for the transfer of cyanide gas from the patient into the material. However, this barrier
means does not allow for the transfer of the methemoglobin from the impregnated material into the
patient's skin. The material is monitored for photometric change, and, where a change indicative of
cyanide poinsoning is present, appropriate treatment is administered.

Abstract: Synthetic comb copolymers which
elicit controlled cellular response, methods of applying these polymers to various surfaces, and methods
of using the polymers for modifying biomaterial surfaces, in tissue engineering applications and as drug
delivery devices are provided. The comb copolymers are comprised of hydrophobic polymer backbones and
hydrophilic, non-cell binding side chains which can be end-capped with cell-signaling ligands that guide
cellular response. By mixing non-cell binding combs with ligand-bearing combs, the surface concentration
and spatial distribution of one or more types of ligands, including adhesion peptides and growth
factors, can be tuned on a surface to achieve desired cellular response. In one embodiment, the combs
are used as stabilizing agents for dispersion polymerization of latexes.; The comb-stabilized latexes
can be applied to substrates by standard coating operations to create a bioregulating surface, or used
as drug delivery agents. In another embodiment, the combs can be blended in small quantities to a
hydrophobic matrix polymer and processed to affect the surface segregation of the comb. The comb
copolymers are formed in one embodiment by providing a biodegradable polyester backbone that includes
reactive groups, and reacting the reactive groups in the backbone with reactive chain ends on a low
molecular weight hydrophilic polymer. In another embodiment, non-biodegradable comb copolymers are
formed by free radical synthesis of a hydrophobic monomer and a hydrophilic macromonomer.; In all of the
above embodiments, a portion of the hydrophilic polymer side chains can be covalently coupled to cell-
signaling ligands such as adhesion peptides or growth factors to control cellular
response.

Title: Method of selective photothermolysis
Applicant: RADIANCY
INC (US)
Application No.: US1998-0076098 Applic. Date: 1998-05-
12
Abstract: A method and apparatus for selective photothermolysis of a target tissue
within surrounding tissue. The target and the surrounding tissue are heated to a predetermined
temperature of about 60 DEG C. by a pulsed heat source such as a flash lamp which creates a temperature
gradient in the air included in a cavity formed between the housing of the apparatus and the surrounding
tissue. The surface temperature of the tissue is monitored by a sensor unit. When the tissue surface
reaches the predetermined temperature the target tissue is heated to the point of coagulation,
preferably by narrow band electromagnetic radiation. The temperature difference between the coagulating
target and the surrounding tissue is sufficiently mild that heat diffusing out of the target does not
damage the surrounding tissue, even in the case of a relatively large target such as varicose veins.;
The heating action may be terminated by automatically pumping air or another suitable coolant into the
cavity when the surface of the tissue reaches a preset value or by lifting the apparatus off the tissue.
The apparatus may include a programmable controller which may be programmed locally or remotely with the
treatment parameters.

Abstract: A method of treating wounds includes the step of applying UVC radiation to
the wound for a time and at a proximity and intensity sufficient to have a bacteriocidal effect. The
method is particularly effective when carried out with a UVC lamp having an intensity of between 5 and
20 muW/cm2, with a duration of between about 5 seconds and 1 minute and a proximity to the wound of
between about 1/4 and 3 inches from the wound being preferred. It has been observed that such
application of UVC radiation can kill up to 100 percent of the microorganisms present in a wound,
thereby enabling the wound to heal free of infection.

Title: Comb copolymers for

Applicant: MASSACHUSETTS INST TECHNOLOGY (US)
Application No.: US2001-0817887 Applic. Date: 2001-03-26
Abstract:
Synthetic comb copolymers which elicit controlled cellular response, methods of applying these polymers
to various surfaces, and methods of using the polymers for modifying biomaterial surfaces, in tissue
engineering applications and as drug delivery devices are provided. The comb copolymers are comprised of
hydrophobic polymer backbones and hydrophilic, non-cell binding side chains which can be end-capped with
cell-signaling ligands that guide cellular response. By mixing non-cell binding combs with ligand-
bearing combs, the surface concentration and spatial distribution of one or more types of ligands,
including adhesion peptides and growth factors, can be tuned on a surface to achieve desired cellular
response. In one embodiment, the combs are used as stabilizing agents for dispersion polymerization of
latexes.; The comb-stabilized latexes can be applied to substrates by standard coating operations to
create a bioregulating surface, or used as drug delivery agents. In another embodiment, the combs can be
blended in small quantities to a hydrophobic matrix polymer and processed to affect the surface
segregation of the comb. The comb copolymers are formed in one embodiment by providing a biodegradable
polyester backbone that includes reactive groups, and reacting the reactive groups in the backbone with
reactive chain ends on a low molecular weight hydrophilic polymer. In another embodiment, non-
biodegradable comb copolymers are formed by free radical synthesis of a hydrophobic monomer and a
hydrophilic macromonomer.; In all of the above embodiments, a portion of the hydrophilic polymer side
chains can be covalently coupled to cell-signaling ligands such as adhesion peptides or growth factors
to control cellular response.

is formed by a curved semi-rigid trough (80) constructed of an insulating material coated with an
electrically conducting layer. Preferably, the inductor (116) and the cable follow an "S"-
shaped path to facilitate good electromagnetic coupling therebetween. The RF cables (60) are laid in the
trough (80) and the shield conductors inductively couple with the inductor (116). A capacitor (82) and
optional trim capacitor (83) are connected across the the trough of the inductor (116) to form a
resonant LC circuit tuned to the resonance frequency. The LC circuit inductively couples with the shield
conductors (114) to present a high, signal attenuating impedance at the resonance frequency.; The
resonant circuit is preferably contained in an RF-shielding box (84) with removable
lid.

combination. In order to enhance their activity and their stability, the peptides are chemically
modified to increase their lipophilicity, by grafting on the N-terminal amine of X, either a fatty acid
chain, or by esterification or amidation of the C-terminal carboxyl group of Y. The peptides can be
obtained by synthesis, biotechnology or controlled hydrolysis or plant proteins. The resulting
compositions are advantageously used for stimulating healing, hydrating or all skin treatments.; They
are particularly active against formation or deterioration of wrinkles and against all the consequences
of skin ageing, whether natural or induced (heliodermia, pollution), as well as for dry
skin.

suppressing movement disorder episodes upon the detection of physiological symptoms. The device includes
a temperature-contact implanted at a targeted portion in the brain which is determined to be associated
with such episodes and connection to an implanted heat-transfer operator, typically a Peltier cooler or
a thermal-electric cooler. Heat transfer from the temperature-contact to the heat-transfer operator
cools the targeted portion and suppresses the movement disorder episode. Such heat transfer is performed
upon the sensing of symptoms which normally preface episodes. The symptoms can be sensed intracranially
by sensing-contacts, on the skin by a sensor or by a person or animal.; Alternatively, heat removal
(cooling) can be performed without sensing symptoms to prevent episodes when the patient is particularly
sensitive to, or in danger from, episodes.

Abstract: An ultra-wideband, large-current radiator consisting of a ground
plane and two electric monopoles: a wide radiating monopole orthogonal to the ground plane, and a thin
monopole orthogonal to the ground plane and normally displaced from the wide monopole. The frequency-
independent low impedance of the antenna allows a small voltage to generate a large current. The wide
radiating monopole may be a flat sheet, or a sheet of parallel bars. Shielding by the wide monopole
suppresses radiation from the thin monopole into a sector of space into which the monopole radiation
characteristic of a well-formed impulse in response to a voltage step is desired. In one preferred
embodiment, two parallel flat sheets or a conducting cylinder is used as the wide radiating monopole,
further shielding radiation from the thin monopole.

Application No.: US2001-0965354 Applic. Date: 2001-09-27
Abstract: A
device and method is disclosed for permanent or semi-permanent removal of hair through the activation of
microparticles introduced into hair follicles. Microparticles are incorporated into a composition that
is topically applied to the skin. These microparticles containing or consisting of chromophores or
chemically activated molecules are of a variety of shapes and sizes. Microparticles are within a size
range of 1 micron to 70 microns, and preferably between 10 and 50 microns. Microparticles of this size
and variety of shapes enter hair follicles on all areas of the skin without entering other areas of the
skin, such as the stratum corneum or sweat gland channels.; Treatment of the skin with electromagnetic
radiation, ultrasonic radiation or chemical means activates the chromophore or chemically activated
compounds, thus destroying the hair follicle without damaging other areas of the skin. In another

Applicant:
LUMENIS INC (US)
Application No.: US2000-0663987 Applic. Date: 2000-09-

Abstract: Skin including hypotrophic scars is irradiated with laser radiation having a
wavelength between about 525 and 550 nanometers. The irradiation is delivered at a fluence that
stimulates wound healing responses without actually inflicting a wound. The wound healing properties
promote growth of dermal extracellular matrix. Absorption properties of hemoglobin and melanin in the
525 to 550 nanometer wavelength range provide that wound healing response is concentrated close to upper
regions of the skin and accordingly close to the location of the scars. The growth of dermal
extracellular matrix "bulks-up" irradiated dermal tissue. This makes the depressions of
hypertrophic scars shallower and less apparent. The method has also been observed to cause shrinkage of
enlarged pores.

Applicant: KITAGAWA IND CO LTD (JP)
Application No.: US2003-0358425 Applic. Date: 2003-02-04
Abstract: A
thermal conductive sheet with conductive foil is obtained by press bonding a magnetic foil to a thermal
conductive layer via a primer layer. Since the primer layer contains a thermal conductive filler, it has
high thermal conductivity and does not interrupt thermal conduction from the thermal conductive layer to
the magnetic foil. It also spontaneously destroys a skin layer on the surface of the thermal conductive
layer upon the press bonding. Accordingly, the thermal conductive sheet with conductive foil of the
present invention improves thermal conduction from the thermal conductive layer to the conductive foil,
eliminating the unfavorable effects of the skin layer and the primer layer, and thus improves heat
radiation of the thermal conductive sheet with conductive foil.

Title: Low frequency modulation sensors using nanosecond
fluorophores
Applicant: UNIV MARYLAND (US)
Application No.: US2001-0786627
Applic. Date: 2001-04-17
Abstract: Described is a new approach to fluorescence
sensing based on a mixture of fluorophores, one of which is sensitive to the desired analyte. If a long
lifetime analyte-insensitive fluorophore is mixed with a short lifetime analyte-sensitive fluorophore,
the modulation of the emission at conveniently low frequencies becomes equal to the fractional
fluorescence intensity of the sensing fluorophore. Under these conditions the modulation can be used to
determine the analyte concentration. This can be used with any fluorophore which changes intensity in
response to analyte, and does not require the sensing fluorophore to display a change in lifetime. The
feasibility of modulation-based sensing was demonstrated using mixtures of 6-carboxyfluorescein and
[Ru2,2'(bipyridyl)3][2+] as a pH sensor and of the calcium probe Fluo-3 and [Ru2,2'(bipyridyl)3][2+] as
a calcium sensor.

Title: Laser treatment for reducing
wrinkles
Application No.: US2000-0738523 Applic. Date: 2000-12-
15
Abstract: Skin including wrinkles is irradiated with laser radiation having a
wavelength between about 525 and 550 nanometers. The irradiation is delivered at a fluence that
stimulates wound healing responses without actually inflicting a wound. This promotes deposition of
dermal extracellular matrix. Absorption properties of hemoglobin and melanin in the 525 to 550 nanometer
wavelength range provide that wound healing response is concentrated close to upper regions of the skin
and accordingly close to the location of the wrinkles. The growth of dermal extracellular matrix
"bulks-up" irradiated dermal tissue. This makes the depressions or folds of the wrinkles
shallower and less apparent.

determination
Applicant: SENSYS MEDICAL INC (US)
Application No.: US2001-
0956747 Applic. Date: 2001-09-17
Abstract: A compact, lightweight instrument for
non-invasive blood analyte determination employs a light source incorporating an assembly of LED's
interconnected within a thermally stable substrate. A large diameter mixer couples the signal to a fiber
optic probe for delivering the signal to a tissue measurement site. Back-diffused light is collected and
dispersed across an array of photo detectors in a miniature spectrometer instrument. A high-speed DSP
executes an algorithm for predicting concentration of a target analyte, which is output to a LCD
display. Instrument control is by means of keypad or voice recognition.High conversion efficiency of the
light source results in extremely low power dissipation and virtually no heat generation, making
incorporation of the light source and the spectrometer into a single unit practicable.; High-speed
pulsing of the signal allows application of high-sensitivity, synchronous detection techniques. Speed
and flexibility in sequencing LED's allows simultaneous measurement and skin temperature
control.

Multi component controlled delivery system for soap bars
Applicant: SALVONA LLC (US)
Application No.: US2002-0286143 Applic. Date: 2002-11-01
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved controlled delivery system that can be incorporated in soap
bars to enhance deposition of active ingredients and sensory markers onto skin. The carrier system also
provides controlled release or prolonged release of these actives from the skin over an extended period
of time. The controlled delivery system of the present invention comprises substantially free-flowing,
powder formed of solid hydrophobic, positively charged, nanospheres of encapsulated active ingredients,
that are encapsulated in moisture sensitive microspheres. The high cationic charge density of the
nanosphere improves deposition of active ingredients onto skin.; The high cationic charge density on the
nanosphere surface is created by incorporating a cationic conditioning agent into the solid hydrophobic
matrix of the nanospheres, by incorporating a cationic charge "booster" in the moisture
sensitive microsphere matrix, or by using a cationic conditioning agent in the nanosphere matrix in
conjunction with a cationic charge "booster" in the microsphere matrix. The invention also
pertains to soap products comprising the controlled release system of the present
invention.

Title: Non-uniform thickness electroactive device
Applicant: NASA
(US)
Application No.: US2000-0696526 Applic. Date: 2000-10-
23
Abstract: An electroactive device comprises at least two layers of material, wherein at
least one layer is an electroactive material and wherein at least one layer is of non-uniform thickness.
The device can be produced in various sizes, ranging from large structural actuators to microscale or
nanoscale devices. The applied voltage to the device in combination with the non-uniform thickness of at
least one of the layers (electroactive and/or non-electroactive) controls the contour of the actuated
device. The effective electric field is a mathematical function of the local layer thickness. Therefore,
the local strain and the local bending/torsion curvature are also a mathematical function of the local
thickness. Hence the thinnest portion of the actuator offers the largest bending and/or torsion
response. Tailoring of the layer thicknesses can enable complex motions to be
achieved.
