Abstract: A three-dimensional resealable container for dispensing powdered or particulate material comprising a top portion, a bottom portion and at least one side portion, the top portion being comprised of an inner section with a die-cut piece, an intermediate section contiguous to said inner section and provided with a hinged flap portion adapted to open and close the container with the die-cut piece secured to the hinged flap, and an outermost section with a pattern of perforations such that a removable segment of such section which covers the hinged flap can be manually removed.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for effecting the continuous reliable supply of sodium bicarbonate particles to a blasting nozzle employing pressured air or water for conveying such particles into contact with a surface to be cleaned. The apparatus includes a hopper at atmospheric pressure and a removable orifice through which the abrasive particles are directed from the hopper to an open ended pipe. One end of the pipe is connected to a media conveying line and a venturi passage provided in a blast nozzle whereby a pressurized fluid passing through the venturi passage creates a suction force in the conveying line and the pipe such that atmospheric air and abrasive particles are drawn from the air pipe to the blast nozzle. The amount of air flow permitted through the pipe can be adjusted by a valve to control the vacuum within the conveying line and along with the particle feeding orifice controls the concentration of abrasive particles in the air stream directed to the nozzle.

Abstract: This invention provides deodorant and antiperspirant-deodorant cosmetic stick and roll-on products with an organic matrix having a dispersed particle phase of an encapsulated bicarbonate salt ingredient such as sodium bicarbonate. The particle surfaces are coated with a polymer such as maltodextrin starch. The encapsulated bicarbonate salt ingredient is in the form of crystallites which have a content of a liquid fragrance adsorbed on the crystallite surfaces. When this type of cosmetic product is applied to underarm surfaces, the deodorizing activity is signaled by the release of a fragrance aroma.
Abstract: This invention provides a process for the preparation of a ruminant dietary product comprising a blend of fatty acid salt and denatured protein. In the process, whole proteinaceous oilseed in particulate form is treated with a basic alkaline earth metal compound. The oil content of the oilseed is saponified to a fatty acid salt, and the protein content is denatured into a water-insoluble form. The fatty acid salt and denatured protein ingredients of the invention ruminant dietary product have rumen-bypass properties, and are metabolized in the post-rumen digestive tract under ruminant feeding conditions.
Abstract: The invention relates to the use of aromatase inhibitors for contraception in female primates and to a method for contraception in female primates using such substances and to the use of those substances for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for contraception in female primates.
Abstract: This invention provides a dry blend pesticide composition which contains a fungicidal bicarbonate salt ingredient, and a spreader-sticker ingredient which is a crystalline clathrate complex of a urea constituent and a normally liquid spreader sticker constituent such as a nonionic surfactant. In a preferred embodiment all of the composition ingredients are water-soluble, and the composition is readily dispersible in an aqueous medium to form a sprayable pesticide solution.
Abstract: The scale formed by use of alkaline salt-based cleaners and which comprises one or more alkaline salts and organic scale is removed by applying an aqueous solution comprising alkali metal carbonate salts and optionally, a hydrotrope to remove the organic scale. A mixture of potassium and sodium carbonate salts has been found to effect better descaling than use of either of the salts alone.
Abstract: An improved slurry blasting process is disclosed wherein a liquid carrier medium such as water contains a dispersed water-soluble particulate abrasive to enhance blast cleaning efficiency and wherein the liquid carrier comprises a saturated solution such as the dissolved particulate abrasive so as to minimize the dissolution of the particulate abrasive therein. Slurry blasting at relatively low pressures below 500 psi and at room temperature provides effective and cost efficient cleaning of substrates. The slurry can be recovered and continuously reused. A recrystallization agent can be added to the slurry to increase abrasive particulate growth in the saturated solution.

Abstract: A cleaning composition for removing water soluble flux residues from circuit assemblies comprises a surfactant formulation containing three nonionic surfactants which have cloud points which differ by at least 5.degree. F. from each other so as to provide optimum cleaning performance over a broadened temperature range. The surfactant formulation is preferably in the form of an aqueous concentrate which further contains alkaline salts, a corrosion inhibitor, a carboxylated polymer stabilizer to maintain the corrosion inhibitor in solution and a hydrotrope to maintain the surfactants in solution.
Abstract: A novel supply pot for holding a particulate abrasive is provided which greatly reduces the amount of moisture which is contained therein during pressurization. The supply pot includes a compressed air piping which directs compressed air from a source of compressed air to an inlet piping to the supply pot and to a downstream inlet to a blast hose, the compressed air piping comprising a moisture diverter which directs the compressed air from the piping to the blast hose initially bypassing the inlet to the supply pot, the diverter allowing backflow of compressed air from the outlet thereof to the inlet to the supply pot.
Abstract: An abrasive blast cabinet includes a housing defining a blast chamber, a blast nozzle disposed in the blast chamber and connected to a source of an abrasive blast media for directing a flow of the blast media against a surface of an article to be cleaned, an elongated chute supported in the interior of the housing and having a first open end in fluid communication with a gas supply, a rotatable second open end in the vicinity of a work place for the article and an opening placed adjacent a window in the housing so that an operator located outside the blast chamber can direct his or her line of sight through the window and second rotatable open end and observe the article in the work place.
Abstract: This invention provides a process for producing a particulate potassium bicarbonate composition which maintains its free-flow properties when stored under ambient temperature and relative humidity conditions. In the process, particulate potassium bicarbonate is blended with fine grain alkaline earth metal oxide, and the oxide is microdispersed on the surface of the particles. The oxide reacts with moisture and carbon dioxide to form an adherent physically-bonded coating of alkaline earth metal carbonate on the surface of the potassium bicarbonate particles. The altered particle surface prevents agglomeration of the potassium bicarbonate particles.
Abstract: A powdered laundry detergent composition comprising an active surfactant, at least about 70 wt. % of a water soluble alkaline carbonate salt, e.g., sodium carbonate, about 0.1 to 2 wt. % of a phosphorus-containing sequestering agent, e.g., sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), about 0.1 to 2 wt. % of a polymeric polycarboxylate, e.g., a polyacrylate or a polymaleate, and about 1-12 wt. % water. Use of the foregoing detergent composition provides excellent cleaning and whitening of fabrics while avoiding the problem of eutrophication which occurs when a substantial amount of a phosphorus containing builder such as STPP is present in the composition, and while minimizing the problem of fabric encrustation often present when the composition contains a large amount of carbonate builder.
