20150013263 | Sleeve Device For Transferring Bending Moments - A sleeve device for transferring bending moments induced in a reinforced concrete slab includes a generally hollow member and tension rebars. The hollow member is positioned and fastened on a bottom formwork defining the reinforced concrete slab. The tension rebars are connected to opposing sides of an upper portion of the hollow member either directly or using rebar connectors. The hollow member creates a void in the reinforced concrete slab by pouring of concrete around an outer wall of the hollow member. The hollow member transfers compressive stresses across a bottom of the hollow member and tensile stresses through the tension rebars and the upper portion of the hollow member. The affixed tension rebars are spliced with regular reinforced concrete slab rebars to develop tensile stresses that are transferred through the relatively stiffer hollow member to retain a slab moment capacity. | 01-15-2015 |

The stud members are connected to opposing sides of the hollow member directly or using connectors. A first stud member is connected to an upper portion of the hollow member and oriented in a downward direction. A second stud member is connected to a lower portion of the hollow member and oriented in an upward direction. The head members are operably coupled to distal ends of the stud members and embedded in the reinforced concrete slab. The head members transfer shear forces across the sleeve device through an interaction between the head members and the concrete surrounding the stud members. | 01-29-2015 |

The hollow member is inserted into the drilled hole such that an upper section of the hollow member extends above a top surface of the concrete slab. The lower sandwich member includes an inner edge rigidly attached to a bottom edge of the hollow member. The upper sandwich member includes an inner edge engageably connected to the upper section of the hollow member. The upper sandwich member and the lower sandwich member sandwich the concrete slab surrounding the drilled hole therebetween for compensating the lost shear capacity of the concrete slab due to the drilled hole. | 01-29-2015 |

20140141066 | Encapsulated Ascorbic Acid Composition - An encapsulated ascorbic acid composition is a formulation that protects the encapsulated ascorbic acid from unwanted interactions and significantly reduces the likelihood of an unwanted allergic reaction for many users. The encapsulated ascorbic acid composition accomplishes this through the use of sunflower lecithin. Sunflower lecithin is utilized as carrier material that forms the liposomal barrier surrounding a quantity of the ascorbic acid. Sunflower lecithin does not contain common allergens, allowing for increased accessibility of the encapsulated ascorbic acid composition. Additionally, the sunflower lecithin contains a higher quantity of the phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine, compared to other lecithin sources. Phosphatidylcholine is readily absorbed increasing the bioavailability of ascorbic acid in a user. Furthermore, high quantities of phosphatidylcholine form smaller, more stable, and more uniformly shaped liposome resulting in better absorption. | 05-22-2014 |
