Abstract: A process of effecting necrosis of neoplasms in warm blooded animals as a result of hyperthermia of the neoplasm includes injecting particles into the warm blooded animals in proximity of the neoplasm. The particles are capable of exhibiting hysteresis heating when subjected to an alternating magnetic field. Further, the particles are of a size of at least two microns, or greater, so as to be incapable of being intracellularly absorbed within the cells of either the viable tissue of the animal or the neoplastic tissue. After interjecting the particles in association with the neoplasm, the area of the neoplasm is then subjected to an alternating magnetic field. This field is of a frequency greater than that sufficient to cause any appreciable neuromuscular response to the alternating magnetic field, and is less than that capable of causing any detrimental eddy current heating and/or dielectric heating of viable healthy tissue of the warm blooded animal.

Abstract: A hydrolyzed proteinaceous milk solid is prepared from a heat treated skim milk liquor which contains denatured whey proteins as well as casein proteins. The solid is prepared by rapidly heating the skim milk liquor to a temperature above 170.degree. F. and adding acid to the heated skim milk liquor to adjust the pH of the liquor to a pH of about 4.7. The heated pH adjusted liquor is aged for a time period during which coagulation and agglomeration of whey and casein proteins, carbohydrates and ash takes place forming a plurality of coagulum suspended in the remaining whey liquid. The coagula is separated from the whey liquid, cooled, dewatered and dried. The resulting dry solid is treated with a caustic agent as, for instance, sodium hydroxide, in a solid phase reaction to yield the hydrolyzed proteinaceous milk solid.

Abstract: A speaker and horn array having improved audio characteristics is formed in a baffle case. A plurality of small speakers are mounted in the baffle case in a vertical array in close proximity with one another. Each of the speakers has an acoustic baffle over the back of the speaker with an opening located in the baffle. An array of small horns are located in association with the speakers in the baffle case. As with the speakers the horns are also in a vertical array. Each of the horns includes an individual throat, however, all of the horns are joined into a common vertically oriented mouth. The throat of each horn is connected to the opening in the baffle of one of the speakers. This backloads the individual speakers with the common mouth of each of the horns resulting in common backloading of each of the speakers.

Abstract: A pair of sealing bars for a pouch packaging machine have sealing surfaces which are asymmetrical with respect to one another. The sealing surface on one of the sealing bars is flat and smooth, having linear edges in two perpendicular directions. The sealing surface on the other of the sealing bars is shaped as a portion of a curved cylindrical surface, defined by a linear edge in a first direction and an arcuate edge in a perpendicular direction. The bars are positioned with respect to one another such that the curved sealing surface on the one bar convexly projects toward the flat, planar sealing surface on the other bar. Seals formed with these asymmetrical sealing bars have a sealing bead which is thinner in the center and thickens outwardly toward both ends moving away from the center.

Abstract: A scavenging medical hood includes a hood for fitting over the head of a patient. A gas inlet port leads to the interior of the hood for supplying the interior of the hood with an appropriate respiratory gas and an aerosolized medicinal agent contained within that respiratory gas. A gas outlet connects between the interior of the hood and the ambient air for discharge of gas from the interior of the hood including any residual aerosolized medicinal agent remaining in that discharged gas. A vacuum port is located adjacent to the gas outlet. A vacuum is applied to the vacuum port via a suitable motorized vacuum source. Vacuum at the vacuum port aspirates gas from the area of the gas outlet to aspirate respiratory gas, residual aerosolized medicinal agent still suspended in the respiratory gas and ambient air from the vicinity of the gas outlet into the vacuum port. A filter located in the vacuum line serves to filter out the residual aerosolized medicinal agent from the aspirate in the gas line.
