Appl. No.:

11/330572

Inventors:

Robert Pollack - Philadelphia PA, US
John Godfrey - Huntingdon Valley PA, US
Sharon Gaglia - Veneta OR, US

International Classification:

C07C 227/40
C07D 233/61
C07D 209/20

US Classification:

548498000, 562443000, 562444000, 548335500

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention provide processes for extracting amino acids from mixtures of amino acids, and compositions and mixtures formed therefrom. Applications include separating and/or isolating non-aromatic amino acids, and/or separating aromatic amino acids into at least one fraction containing phenylalanine and tyrosine and a fraction containing L-β-3-indolylalanine (L-β-3) and providing natural or other amino acid mixtures thereof. The source of amino acids may include a natural source, such as an enzymaticaly hydrolyzed protein or other natural protein hydrolysates containing mixtures of free amino acids. The processes of embodiments of the present invention include contacting the mixture of amino acids with a resin or hydrophobic substance that is attractive to aromatic amino acids but not attractive to aliphatic amino acids to separate the aromatic amino acids from the rest of the mixture.

Abstract:

Compositions for oral use containing at least one zinc compound, at least one amino acid, a source of ascorbic acid which does not appreciably associate with zinc ions, and a base material. The compositions provide for slow release of zinc upon dissolution in the mouth. The amino acid provides the zinc compound(s) with a palatable taste and no aftertaste. The source of ascorbic acid provides Vitamin C without interacting with zinc and forming unpalatable by-products. A method for making such compositions is also described.

Inventors:

John C. Godfrey - Huntingdon Valley PA

Assignee:

Godfrey Science & Design, Inc. - Huntingdon PA

International Classification:

A01N 3712
A01N 3744
A61K 31195

US Classification:

514561

Abstract:

Formulations of aluminum compounds with select amino acids such as glycine (aminoacetic acid) in a base material are described. The base material can be a sweetening agent such as a hard or soft candy base, a syrup, chewing gum, dentifrice, or the like. The advantage of such formulations is that the unpalatable and undesirable tastes and aftertastes of unformulated aluminum compound and of aluminum compounds mixed with a base material are markedly reduced and the products may be slowly dissolved in the mouth to achieve nutritional or therapeutic results. Processes for the satisfactory preparation of the formulations are set forth.

Assignee:

Willow Step, Inc. - Huntingdon Valley PA

International Classification:

E06C 7/08
E06C 7/16

Abstract:

Step adapters for a rung ladder to provide increased support surface or area is described. In one embodiment, the step adapter includes brace, platform, lock and safety bar sections. The lock, safety bar and platform sections structurally engage a rung of a ladder, and the brace section supports the adapter against rails of a ladder so that the step adapter provides an extended step structure to ease standing on the ladder. In another embodiment, the step adapter includes brace, platform and lock sections, where the platform section side edges are configured to lock the step adapter in place on a rung of a ladder. A tray overlay can be used in combination with the step adapter (which serves as support) to provide an area for holding work-related items. The step adapter can also include a securing element as an additional safety feature to anchor the adapter to a ladder.

International Classification:

E06C 7/16

Abstract:

Step adapters for a rung ladder to provide an increased support surface or area is described. In one embodiment, the step adapter includes a brace, a platform, a lock and a safety bar. The lock, safety bar and platform are provided to structurally engage or embrace a rung of a ladder, and the brace supports the adapter against the rails of a ladder so that in total the step adapter provides an extended step structure to ease standing on the ladder, especially for an extended period of time. In another embodiment, the step adapter includes brace, platform and lock sections, where the platform section side edges are configured to lock the step adapter in place on a rung of a ladder. A tray overlay is also described which when used in combination with the step adapter (which serves as a support) provides a service area for holding work-related items.
