Abstract: A topically administered composition and methodology of Vitamin A Palmitate for application with human skin care. The substance is composed of 4-10% A Palmitate in combination with at least 51% water surfactant. Non-irritating thickeners, preservatives and carriers synergize to achieve unrestricted topical application which repair and rejuvenate all of the layers of the skin tissue.

Abstract: A method and composition for topically administering ascorbic acid and proanthocyanidine for application to human skin care. The substance is composed of 10% to 25% ascorbic acid and at least 0.5% to 5% proanthocyanidine in combination with a high ratio water surfactant. Non-irritating thickeners, preservatives and carriers synergize to allow penetration of a serum composition to access the entire dermal membrane. The composition possesses sunscreen properties and superior collagen repair means.

Abstract: A electrically heated soldering iron for applying heat to a wide variety of miniaturized integrated circuit solder pin row arrangements includes an elongated handle carrying at one end a heating block provided with a pair of tangs between which is seated an elongated soldering blade having a sharp, knife-like operative edge. One of the tangs is removably bolted to the heating block and has a sloped shoulder mating with a cooperating surface on block to permit the tang to move relative to the other tang to accommodate blades of slightly different dimensions while still allowing the removable tang to exert compressive force on the blade as the bolt is tightened. The operative edge of the blade is disposed in the same plane as the handle at an angle of about 135.degree. with the longitudinal handle axis.

Abstract: A post footing bracing and spacing apparatus for accurately holding a post or plurality of posts in alignment. The apparatus is preferably used in the construction of fences composed of preformed materials where precise alignment and distance between posts is critical. The apparatus consists of a plurality of clamps and spacing bars. The clamps are designed to snugly abut preformed posts of various dimensions. A first clamp lies upon the ground above a dughole and holds a preformed pole in place in the dughole. At least a second clamp is attached further up the post. Accurate spacing and steadying is provided by a spacing bar which attaches or snugs up to the clamps. The spacing bars communicate with at least another post and clamp assembly, and precise placement of poles in linear arrangement is accomplished. After the assembly is secured, application of permanent footing material, such as poured concrete, can be accomplished without disturbing alignment of the poles.
