    Abstract: A pre-debriding composition comprises a chaotropic agent, preferably urea, and, preferably, exfoliating and analgesic agents. The pre-debriding composition reduces the collagen denaturation temperature, Tm, at the site of a wound. Use of the composition along with a supply of heat increases the effectiveness of a subsequent enzymatic debriding treatment. A dressing and heating system is also provided for use with the pre-debriding composition. An “instant activated” debriding composition and package is provided comprising a gel composition and a powdered debriding zymogen composition, wherein mixing of the two compositions results in an activated enzymatic debriding composition. 22290368.

When the removable panel is detached from the remainder of the flask, access to an interior volume or compartment of the flask is provided, which facilitates simplified and more effective cleaning of the flask.

    Abstract: Instant self-heating containers include a combinable reactant and activator used to generate an exothermic reaction for heating contents of the container. One instant self-heating container includes a target container, a pierceable activator container and a reaction chamber. Piercing the activator container causes activator to combine with the reactant and cause an exothermic reaction that heats the target container. The container may be used as depilatory wax dispenser. Another instant self-heating container includes an outer housing containing a contents pouch and a reactant, and capped by a lid having an activator chamber. Rupturing the activator chamber allows activator to combine with the reactant in an exothermic reaction to heat the contents pouch. Another instant self-heating container includes a flexible outer tube containing contents to be heated, a flexible reaction vessel, and a frangible activator vessel.

    Abstract: Container with foldable load platform intended for transporting different pieces, so that once the container assembly is empty; it can be folded occupying a reduced space. It is characterized in that it comprises a foldable load container having two opposite side walls with the addition of a central folding line (5) and two side folding lines (6) parallel and separated by a distance from the corner joints (7) of adjacent side walls. Therefore some characteristic inner spaces are created in the folded position of the load container, which allow housing different fastening elements therein, unlike conventionally occurs wherein housing these fastening elements within the inside fold of load container is not possible.

  • Publication number: 20120111364
    Abstract: The invention comprises an apparatus for washing, storing and transporting concrete wastewater washed from concrete conveying chutes associated with a concrete mixing truck. The apparatus comprises a fluid container having a first opening and a pair of arms extending upwardly above the container. Each end of the arms distal from the container is adapted to mate with a first end of a first concrete chute member and to removably retain the first concrete chute member such that a second end of the first concrete chute member is higher than the first end and the first end is disposed above the first opening in the fluid container. The container is attachable to a concrete mixing truck such that a second concrete chute member attached to the concrete mixing truck can be positioned above the first concrete chute member while the first concrete chute member is mated with the arms. A method of using the apparatus is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20120073999
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a heating container. There are types of food which should be eaten after being warmed up at home or in a restaurant. Hot sops or hot stews can be eaten after being heated on a portable gas range. However, it is impossible or very inconvenient to heat pan-fried foods, boiled beef, fried foods, rice cakes and the like on a gas range. The heating container of the present invention has a self-heating function and is very useful because the heating container allows food to be kept warm until the end of the meal when various foods are placed on the heated heating container, whereby enabling the distinct tastes of the foods not to be lost until the end of the meal.

  • Publication number: 20120067898
    Abstract: The invention concerns an insert for a receptacle that is to contain a concentrated product in solid or liquid form, comprising a main part (1) formed by a base (2) extended on the edge by a wall (3) perpendicular to the base, an opening (4) being produced in the base. The invention also concerns a receptacle provided with an insert according to the invention. The objective of the invention is to develop an insert that enables the receptacle to be emptied entirely without leaving dead spaces in which the products to be solubilised may accumulate. This objective is achieved in accordance with the invention because the face of the base (2) intended to be situated in the receptacle after assembly, the so-called internal face, is concave at the opening so that the latter is situated at the bottom of a trough (6). In this way the formation of corners in which the liquid does not circulate, or does not circulate sufficiently, is avoided.

    Abstract: A container (10) with removable end caps (12, 14) has an internal barrier (30) with holes (32) therethrough. In use, a cleaning or other fluid is poured into lower space (38) and an article to be cleaned or otherwise treated is placed into upper space (36). End cap (12) is then secured and the container is inverted so that the article is in the liquid. To remove the article, which may be a cloth or a sponge, the container (10) is restored to its original disposition, end cap (12) is removed and the article is squeezed by the user against the barrier (30) to remove excess liquid.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe components to be utilized on the design, management and implementation of a wastewater treatment system. Said wastewater treatment system may include containers that, for example, may be consistent with ISO specifications for intermodal containers. In some embodiments, these containers act in concert to perform the same wastewater management function (e.g., the containers may function together as equalization basins). In other embodiments, said containers may each perform a separate function (e.g., some containers may function as an aeration tank while others container may function as a membrane basin), or may each perform a plurality of functions. Furthermore, said containers may form an independent wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), or may be utilized to augment a pre-existing WWTP (e.g., a WWTP according to the prior art).
