Nutritional supplement compositions that may provide sub-cellular phytonutrient delivery include a carrier oil base containing at least one triglyceride and also contain at least one biologically active complex in the carrier oil base. The biologically active complex may include a non-covalent complex of a carbon-60 fullerene, phytonutrient compound, and a triglyceride from the carrier oil base. The phytonutrient compound may be chosen from compounds having the ability to form non-covalent complexes with six-membered aromatic rings of carbon-60 fullerene. Examples of such phytonutrient compound include, for example, phenolic compounds, polyphenolic compounds, phenolic acids, flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, stilbenes, curcuminoids, coumarins, lignans, quinones, phenylethanoids, carotenoids, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin, or coenzyme Q10. The nutritional supplement compositions may include multiple biologically active complexes in which the phytonutrient compounds are derived from olives, algae, or both. The nutritional supplement compositions may mitigate various diseases or disorders for which inflammation is an etiologic factor.

Nutritional supplement compositions containing C60-fullerene-phytonutrient-triglyceride complexes for sub-cellular phytonutrient delivery

Anti-aging nutritional supplements for animals contain, in a carrier oil base, a carbon-60 fullerene compound or complex, biologically active phenols or polyphenols, asthaxanthin, chlorophyll or a chlorophyll derivative, coenzyme Q10, and mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols.

Anti-aging nutritional supplement compositions for animals

A method and system is disclosed to detect and analyze an electric signal based on movement between an element and a counter electrode influenced by a nonlinear electric field produced by an electrical signal impressed between the element and counter electrode. Through detection of changes in the distance between the element and the counter electrode characteristics of the element and/or the environment of the element may be ascertained. Changes in the distance between the element and the counter electrode may be monitored based on changes in the value of capacitance between the element and counter electrode. The disclosed devices and methods may be employed to detect, for instance, presence of chemical/biological species in a sample or measure physical parameters of a sample such as pressure/acceleration, density, viscosity, magnetic force, temperature, and/or extremely small masses.

Non-linear electrical actuation and detection

Disclosed are methods and devices for patterning micro- and/or nano-sized pattern elements on a substrate using field emitted electrons from an element. Disclosed methods and devices can also be utilized to form nano- and micron-sized depressions in a substrate according to a more economical process than as has been utilized in the past. Methods include single-step methods by which structures can be simultaneously created and located at desired locations on a substrate. Methods include the application of a bias voltage between a probe tip and a substrate held at a relatively close gap distance. The applied voltage can promote current flow between the probe and the substrate via field emissions. During a voltage pulse, and within predetermined energy levels and tip-to-surface gap distances, three dimensional formations can be developed on the substrate surface.
