A therapeutic lens for the treatment of an epithelial defect comprises a layer of therapeutic material disposed over the stroma and/or Bowman's membrane to inhibit water flow from the tear liquid to the stroma and/or Bowman's membrane, such that corneal deturgescence can be restored to decrease corneal swelling and light scattering. The layer may cover and protect nerve fibers to decrease pain. The layer may comprise an index of refraction to inhibit light scatter from an anterior surface of the stroma and/or Bowman's membrane. The lens may comprise a curved anterior surface that provides functional vision for the patient when the epithelium regenerates. The layer of therapeutic material can be positioned on the eye in many ways, for example with a spray that is cured to adhere the layer to the exposed surface of the stroma and/or Bowman's membrane.

Improved systems, devices, and methods measure and/or change the shape of a tissue surface, particularly for use in laser eye surgery. Fluorescence of the tissue may occur at and immediately underlying the tissue surface. The excitation energy can be readily absorbed by the tissue within a small tissue depth, and may be provided from the same source used for photodecomposition of the tissue. Changes in the fluorescence spectrum of a tissue correlate with changes in the tissue's hydration.

A method of preparing parbaked food products, such as pizza crust shells, apparatus and dough formulation used therein, and the product produced by the process. The process comprises the steps of providing a dough including flour, sugar and water, and preferably also a leavening agent such as instant yeast. The dough is rounded, first proofed, panned, pressed and second proofed. The prepared dough piece is then steam hydrated under conditions sufficient to cause moisture absorption and a resultant increase in moisture content throughout the dough. Then the hydrated dough piece is immediately sequentially parbaked until gelatinization of the starch is complete. At least one parbaking condition is adjusted selected from the group consisting of initial dough temperature, oven temperature, parbaking time, dough absorption and dough thickness and coordinated with the moisture content condition of the dough upon completion of the steam hydration for thereby delaying external browning of the dough.

This invention relates to a method of manufacturing the fertilizer made from organic wastes such as food wastes, human excrements, animal excrements, slaugterhouse waste, henhouse waste, fish and shellfish wastes, vegetable wastes and agricultural wastes. Various wastes are mixed and crushed into certain sizes, processes for adjusting the water content, put into the treating tank and digested by mixing a calcined lime. The present invention utilizes a dolomite or mixture of calcined lime and dolomite to provide the first treatment material. This first treatment material is mixed with the supplement material such as charcoal, saw dust, loess, zoelite, chaff, or shell powder to give compost fertilizer. It is also mixed with agricultural products such a watermelons or melons which ferment to provide a special fertilizer for the agricultural product. The treatment material can be added to water and mixed with mugwort, medicinal herb, zeolite, loess, and then extracted to provide a liquid fertilizer. As the various organic wastes are changed to organic fertilizer, the acidified soil is improved, the environmental contamination can be prevented, and the high moisturizing and the fine porous of the soil prevent drought and fertilizer loss so as to raise fertilizing efficiency.

The present invention relates to a method that is useful for improving the appearance, texture and/or moisture of skin. In particular, the methods of the present invention comprise administering a composition comprising Chia Seed oil, Opuntia Ficus Indica extract, or both to stimulate collagen or hyaluronic acid synthesis, or decrease Interleukin-1b synthesis, in the skin.

A viscosity modifying agent is added to a concrete mixture to give the concrete desirable rheological properties. The viscosity modifying agent is incorporated into a foam admixture before it is mixed into the concrete. Because the viscosity modifying agent is a component of the foam admixture, the viscosity modifying agent is dispersed in the aqueous film that forms the foam bubbles. The viscosity modifier in the foam bubbles gives the foam beneficial rheological properties. The viscosity modifier performs more efficiently when included in the foam bubbles as compared to being mixed directly into the concrete. The foam bubbles containing the viscosity modifier can be stabilized using a fluorochemical stabilizer, which is included in the foam admixture. The foam bubbles can be further stabilized with respect to cement mixtures by including a hydration stabilizing in the cement mixture.
