INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Five issued patents and seven pending applications in chemical bond
modeling and manipulation, metallic thin film medical device coatings, and
skin treatments.
Issued Patents
Controlled Phase Transition of Metals - 7,284,987
A technology for breaking metallic and chemical bonds with minimal
heat
ABSTRACT: A process for electromagnetic energy - induced solid to
liquid phase transitions in metals is disclosed. The method utilizes
coherent electromagnetic fields to transform solid materials such as
silicon and aluminum without detectable heat generation. The
transformed material reverts to a solid form after the electromagnetic
field is removed within a period of time dependent on the material and
the irradiation conditions.
Physical Quantum Model for the Atom - 7,284,987 (10/23/07)
A platform model for elemental bond control
ABSTRACT: A Quantum Model of the atom has been formulated, which
illustrates how classical wave structures and four-wave intersections
provide a background-independent supersymmetric metric of quantized
positions outward from the atom's single neutrino centerpoint. The
Quantum Model reveals the physical structure and the natural
regularization of low-energy lattice circle solutions as the basis for
quantum loops founded at Planck scales. Importantly, the Model
provides the causal structure for charge, confinement, the Higgs
mechanism, photons and gravity. The Quantum Model provides a unique
tool for teaching, demonstration, rendering, and experimentation
related to atomic level structures, field generation, bonding, and
elemental bond control.
Molecular Plasma Deposition of Colloidal Materials - 7,250,195
A platform technology for biosensors
ABSTRACT: A molecular plasma discharge deposition method for
depositing colloidal suspensions of biomaterials such as amino acids
or other carbon based substances onto metal or nonmetal surfaces
without loss of biological activity and/or structure is described.
The method is based on generating charged corona plasma which is then
introduced into a vacuum chamber to deposit the biomaterial onto a
biased substrate. The deposited biomaterials can be selected for a
variety of medical uses, including coated implants for in situ release
of pharmaceuticals.
Compositions and methods for emulsifier delivery system - 6,984,391
A new emulsification delivery system for acne ingredients and drugs
ABSTRACT: New cosmetic compositions are disclosed that are effective
both as moisturizers and skin sloughing agents. The compositions
contain neutralized weak organic acids that when applied over time to
the skin in appropriate formulations will gradually increase in
acidity to pH 5.5 or less, for example about pH 4.5, without causing
skin irritation while exhibiting increasing activity in skin renewal
effects.
Compositions and method of tissue superoxygenation for a medical device -
6,649,145
A method for adding oxygen back into skin and tissue topically for
burn and wound care
ABSTRACT: Disclosed are methods and compositions for increasing tissue
oxygen levels by administration of super-oxygenated compositions of
tissue surfaces. The methods are applicable to treatment of a wide
variety of conditions including burns, bedsores, ulcers, necrosis and
anaerobic infections.
Pending Applications
Photo Control of a Glucose Redox Reaction - 200********
A technology for on/off control of glucose biosensors for diabetes
management
ABSTRACT: Methods are described for modifying a redox reaction using
selected non-ionizing radiation. In a particular example, the
oxidation of glucose in the presence of glucose oxidase can be
completely inhibited when exposed to selected excited state
frequencies.
Modified surfaces for attachment of biological materials - 200********
A technology for controlling cell attachment on medical devices at the
nanoscale
ABSTRACT: The invention relates to bioactive surface coatings
deposited on selected substrates. Surface nanostructured film coatings
deposited on most metal or nonmetal substrates to provide surfaces can
be engineered to promote enhanced tissue/cell adhesion. Attached
cells, including osteoblasts, fibroblasts and endothelial cells,
retain viability and will readily differentiate and proliferate under
appropriate conditions. Fibroblasts and endothelial cells exhibit good
attachment and growth on most coated substrates, except on nano
surfaced structured silicone.
Ultraviolet Activated Antimicrobial Surfaces - 200********
A method for on-site activation of antimicrobial surfaces for medical
devices
ABSTRACT: The invention is directed to an ion plasma deposition method
adapted to coat polymer surfaces with highly adherent antimicrobial
films. A controlled ion plasma deposition process is used to coat a
metal or polymer with a selected metal/metal oxide. Exposing the
coated surface to ultraviolet light significantly improves the
antimicrobial properties of the deposited coatings.
Radiopaque Coatings for Polymer Substrates - 200********
A cost-effective method for achieving radiopacity even on ceramic and
plastic medical devices
ABSTRACT: Improved radiopaque coatings particularly suitable for
polymer substrates are described. A modified ion plasma deposition
method is used to provide coatings with macro particle-dense surfaces
that have excellent radiopacity. The coatings are particularly adapted
to polymer surfaces because of high adherence and resistance to
peeling and flaking.
Axial atomic model for determination of elemental particle field structure
and energy levels - 200********
A physical model of the atom useful for determining elemental bonding
structure and mechanisms
ABSTRACT: A six-dimensional axial Model of the atom which illustrates
elemental and particle field structure has been formulated. The Model
enables the determination of particle characteristics and interactions
so that energy levels can be manipulated because of insights into the
atom's axial structure, particle substructure and field generation.
