  • Patent number: 4174292
    Abstract: A spill of acid is controlled and cleaned up by being neutralized by a low metal ion fluid neutralizer composition formed of a non-volatile organic amine compound, a foam-forming surfactant and a pH indicator dye and which can additionally contain water, a dissolved gas and color tinting agents. Such a neutralizer composition is especially useful in the electronics manufacturing industry and in clean rooms where the presence of metal ions would be deleterious.

  • Patent number: 4132775
    Abstract: Pathogenic infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus may be modified by serial passages in non-bovine tissue cultures until it becomes non-pathogenic when applied to the intranasal passages of bovines. Such application will result in the induction of high levels of interferon in nasal secretions as well as the production of local antibodies and a long lasting immunity against IBR infection by virtue of the induction of specific circulating antibodies. The invention includes the method of modifying the IBR virus, a method of preparing a vaccine therefrom and a method of immunizing bovines and promoting production of high levels of interferon in nasal secretions.
