Filed:

Jan 28, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/048031

Inventors:

John Novak - Downers Grove IL, US

International Classification:

A61L 9/04
A61K 9/00

US Classification:

424045000, 424047000

Abstract:

The present invention is a foamable alcohol having at least one active ingredient. The active ingredient can be a prescription or non-prescription drug or medication. It either works on the skin or is absorbed transdermally and works on the body. Alcohol, such as ethyl alcohol is combined with a fluoro-surfactant, at least one active ingredient and water. Optionally, inactive ingredients can be added. The fluoro-surfactant reduces the surface tension of the alcohol allowing it to be foamed without reducing the effectiveness of the alcohol as a carrier for the active ingredient or the efficacy of the active ingredient(s). The inventive mixture foams when dispensed as an aerosol or pumped through a foam pump. The pump or other dispenser doses the alcohol. The foam is easy to apply, and liquefies as a user smears it on a surface.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A machine to fast cook raw food-stuff including dry-goods such as pasta on demand. Cook time is user selectable and varies from less than one minute to 4 minutes. Higher cook times are user programmable and food type dependent. The separate boiler and cook chamber are sealed within an enclosure containing a heat transfer fluid. Porting enables the ingress, egress and transfer of raw and cooked food-stuff, liquid and vapor. Proprietary slide plate valves control food-stuff ingress and egress to the cook chamber. The upper slide plate valve assembly separates the cook chamber from the raw food ingress staging aperture. Rinse water and cooked food-stuff discharges into the drain pan containing and enclosing the food collection strainer through the lower slide plate valve assembly. Discharge of the cooked food product completes the cook cycle. The cooked food can then be deposited from the strainer onto a serving vessel.
