Abstract: A water soluble effervescent table formulation for preparing a disinfecting solution comprising a first tablet containing a bromide releasing agent and a second tablet containing a hypochlorite releasing agent.

Abstract: A magnesium amide for use as a magnesium donor not having any Mg--C bonds. The compound is useful for doping GaN with Mg.sup.+2. The compound of the present invention is a high molecular weight dimer, preferably a diamide containing one or more silicon substituent groups. Alternatively, the compounds of the present invention may contain amino nitrogens weakly bonded to Mg. The compounds must have sufficient volatility to be useful in chemical vapor deposition.

Abstract: A water-dispersible effervescent drain cleaner having a composition of approximately 20-60% by weight of a mixture of metal hydroxides, 20-40% hypochlorite generator, and 10-40% effervescent materials. Lubricant, colors and fragrances may also be present. The components of this mixture are compressed into tablet, pellet, granules, or high density powder forms. The particles are of sufficient density to drop through water to the point of a clog. The effervescent materials work to break up the tablets or pellets and to agitate the mixture. The hypochlorite generator, in conjunction with the hydroxides reacts to dissolve hair. The hydroxide and hypochlorite generate heat, which will dissolve grease and soap clogs and accelerate the dissolution of hair.

Abstract: A water soluble effervescent tablet formulation for preparing a disinfecting solution comprising a first tablet containing a bromide releasing agent and a second tablet containing a hypochlorite releasing agent.

Abstract: A gas burner for a smoker grill includes a venturi tube having an inlet adapted and arranged for receiving a flow of gas from a gas supply, a burner end adapted and arranged for placement within the interior of a grill casing, a burner end having a burner outlet, at least one air inlet arranged through said venturi tube and located adjacent said inlet, and an ash guard at least partially encasing the burner end. The ash guard incorporates metal screen disposed across the burner outlet and a metal housing at least partially surrounding the burner outlet to prevent ashes formed in the smoker from extinguishing the burner flame. Spider guards formed of metal screen material are also provided at the air inlet.

Abstract: A composition for freshening sinus cavities including a carrier for a masking agent that conceals and eliminates odors emanating from the sinus cavities, and further including an anti-septic or anti-infective constituent. The composition may further include a moisturizing base component, a preservative, a counter irritant, and an alcohol.

Abstract: A method, materials, and medical devices are disclosed for providing an intralamellar insert between opposing layers formed in the cornea. Upon preparing the cornea by partially separating a flap of tissue, a gel or similar material is placed thereon and conformed to desired dimensions to correct refractive errors of the cornea.

Abstract: The security device of the present invention is secured to the floor of a structure adjacent the hinged side of a door to be made secure. The security device has a two piece stopping element which lies parallel to the floor and can be elevated by foot from its storage position to engage against the inner face of the door to prevent the door from being opened beyond a minimum amount and then can be depressed by foot to allow for normal usage of the door.

Abstract: A composition for freshening nostrils and sinus cavities is disclosed for masking or eliminating objectionable odors in the breath. The composition is typically administered from a squeeze or pump-type bottle or the like and includes a carrier such as saline solution and a masking agent such as oil of peppermint or other flavoring.

Abstract: A heating system for barbecue grills and other gas appliances is disclosed, the system having a U-shaped tubular burner and shield. The system may also include a radiant material disposed at or below the level of the burner.

Abstract: An accommodating lens is designed to be inserted into a substantially intact capsulary bag having a capsulorexis opening in its anterior wall. The lens has an accommodating portion adapted to be affixed to the anterior wall of the capsulary bag adjacent the opening. The focal length of the deformable portion is alterable by insertion of a deforming material into the deformable portion thereof. In another embodiment, the focal length of a second deformable portion of the lens is varied by insertion or extraction of deformable material into or from the second portion.
