| 20110072672 | Dual interchangeable type bow sight - A bow sight mounting system including a forward sight assembly used with conjunction with a rearward sight assembly adjustably mounted to a base plate, each component considered modular. The forward sight assembly, interchangeable with identical parts in the rearward sight assembly, includes two pin sight assemblies, two sight mounting brackets and two moveable connecting bars terminating in a base mounting plate. The base mounting plate is symmetrical with the ability to mount on a left-hand or right-hand bow. The moveable connecting bars extends perpendicular to the bow frame and base mounting plate and locates the sight mounting bracket in position to be inline with the bowstring. The forward pin sight assembly containing a vertical pin works with conjunction with the rearward pin sight assembly containing two vertical pins. The rearward vertical pins are positioned as such to create an open gap alignable with the forward pin and the target. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20110152925 | Skin Preparation That Immobilizes Bacteria - Skin sealants are usually applied over skin preps to seal the skin and hold any remaining bacteria in place prior to surgical incisions. This sealant is generally left on the skin after surgery. This two step process is time consuming, as each layer must dry before the next one is applied. A skin preparation is provided that immobilizes at least 95 percent of bacteria on the skin and is essentially free of cyanoacrylate. The skin preparation has a fugitive solvent and may also have antimicrobial compounds like iodophors, biguanides, phenols, quaternary amines, antibiotics and metals. This skin preparation may be used without an additional skin sealant or incise applied over it prior to surgery. | 06-23-2011 |
