Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for killing mammalian ectoparasites and eggs. The present invention provides compositions comprising active ingredients, such as, for example, terpenes, such as dipentene and/or D limonene; and/or terpene-ols, such as, for example, terpineol and 1-terpinen-4-ol; and/or 1,2,3,4,-tetrahydronaphthalene; and/or aromatic alcohols; and/or essential oils. The present invention also provides, compositions and methods for killing mammalian ectoparasites and eggs which are resistant to ingredient(s) in established insecticides, such as for example, malathion, permethrin and/or lindane.

Abstract: The present provides a method for making glass pressure sensors in batch. First glass plates of appropriate dimensions are scribed. Then electrodes are sputters onto each of the plates, followed by screen printing a frit layer and crossover tabs. The plates are then preglazed and bonded together to form a plurality of sensors. The plates are then scribed and broken along the scribes to form individual sensors.

Abstract: An improved denture adhesive containing sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as the sole adhesive component in a hydrophilic vehicle comprising certain polyethylene glycols (PEG) and, as an optional component in certain forms of the subject adhesives, glycerin, for enhancing pharmaceutical elegance of the final product.

Abstract: An improved denture adhesive containing poly(ethylene oxide) as the sole adhesive component in a hydrophilic vehicle comprising certain polyethylene glycols (PEG) and, as an optional component in certain forms of the subject adhesives, glycerin, for enhancing pharmaceutical elegance of the final product.

Abstract: An improved denture adhesive containing an adhesive polymeric fraction comprising sodium carboxymethylcellulose and poly(ethylene oxide) in a hydrophilic vehicle comprising certain polyethylene glycols and, as an optional component in certain forms of the subject adhesives, glycerin, for enhancing pharmaceutical elegance of the final product.

Abstract: An improved denture adhesive containing an adhesive polymeric fraction consisting essentially of an admixture of mixed, partial salts of lower alkyl vinyl ether-maleic adhydride-type copolymers with either of sodium carboxymethylcellulose or poly(ethylene oxide) homopolymer or both in a hydrophilic vehicle comprising certain polyethylene glycols and, as an optional component in certain forms of the subject adhesives, glycerin, for enhancing pharmaceutical elegance of the final product.

Abstract: An improved denture adhesive containing a karaya gum adhesive component in a hydrophilic vehicle comprising certain polyethylene glycols and, as an optional component in certain forms of the subject adhesives, glycerin, for enhancing pharmaceutical elegance of the final product.

Abstract: An oral composition containing zinc salicylate, zinc lactate or zinc gluconate in combination with an ionic fluoride salt.

Abstract: Dentifrice preparations having improved soluble fluoride availability are obtained by incorporation of a dibasic alkali metal phosphate either alone or in combination with a calcium ion chelating agent.

Abstract: An improved denture adhesive contains a particular amount of a specified ratio of sodium carboxymethylcellulose and poly(ethylene oxide) in a mineral oil base.
