Scrub resistant inks and methods and apparatus for fabrication and use thereof are provided. Scrub-resistant ink compositions may include a dye for marking skin; and a solvent dissolving a marking effective amount of the dye, wherein the solvent comprises about 0.1 to about 90 percent of a polar aprotic solvent. Apparatus for marking patients may include an ink reservoir; an ink dispenser having a fluid connection to the ink reservoir to dispense the ink at a desired rate to mark a patient; and a scrub resistant ink disposed in the ink reservoir. Methods for forming scrub-resistant ink compositions may include providing a marking effective amount of a dye suitable for use in marking skin; and mixing the dye with a first solvent comprising 0.1% to 90% of a polar aprotic solvent. Methods of marking patients may include applying an ink as recited above to a body part of the patient.

Scrub-resistant ink and methods and apparatus for fabrication and use thereof

Elasmobranch-repelling compositions are prepared from elasmobranch carcasses. Extraction of these elasmobranch carcasses with polar solvent after a period of aerobic decay yields semiochemical repellents that induce a flight reaction in sharks when introduced into the sharks' oceanic proximity.

Elasmobranch-repelling compounds, methods of use and devices

Compounds for repelling elasmobranch having an aldehyde or derivative, a carboxylic acid a derivative, a ketone or a derivative thereof, a di-ketone or a derivative thereof, a pyridine or derivative thereof, or an antipyrine or a derivative thereof and methods of use thereof.

Elasmobranch-repelling compounds and methods of use

Devices and methods are disclosed for repelling elasmobranchs with high-pull-force magnets, including devices and methods for reducing by-catch in commercial fisheries and protecting humans from attacks by elasmobranchs.

Elasmobranch-repelling magnets and methods of use

Provided, amongst other things, are dyes of formula II: wherein R, R, Rand Rare independently H or alkyl, so long as one or more is alkyl, and salts of the compound of formula II. Methods of making, inks, surgical markers and methods of marking tissue and the like are further provided.

Blue dye and methods of manufacture and use thereof

Devices and methods are disclosed for repelling elasmobranchs with electropositive metals, including apparatuses and methods for reducing by-catch in commercial fisheries and protecting humans from attacks by elasmobranchs.

Elasmobranch-repelling electropositive metals and methods of use

This invention provides sunless-tanning compositions containing, in addition to a self tanning agent and a cosmetically acceptable carrier, a coloring agent, added to the compositions so as to enhance the uniformity of their application to the skin.

Coloring agent-containing sunless tanning compositions

A composition is provided which is useful for self-tanning skin coloring and is characterized by improved stability, which comprises from about 0.5% to about 20.0% by weight, based on total weight of said composition, of a self-tanning skin coloring agent subject to chemical instability, which is preferably dihydroxyacetone; from about 2.0% to about 40.0% by weight of a polyethoxyglycol, which is preferably ethoxydiglycol; and from about 0.1% to about 15.0% by weight of a polyol comprising a polyhydric compound having at least three hydroxyl groups and at least three carbon atoms, which is preferably D-sorbitol. The self-tanning composition may further optionally contain from about 0.1% to about 8.0% by weight of a water soluble dihydroxyl compound having at least two, and up to eight carbon atoms, which is preferably ethylene glycol; and the self-tanning composition may still further optionally contain an acidifying agent in amount sufficient to maintain the pH of said total composition at from about 3.5 to about 4.5, which is preferably sorbic acid. Cosmetologic products and methods of tanning are also provided.
