Abstract: Parathyroid Hormone, when excessively synthesized, induces pathologic bone resorption and demineralization and results in hypocalcemia which produces toxic effects in soft tissues. Non-toxic water-soluble pharmaceutically acceptable compound derivative of peroxydiphosphoric acid, administered orally or systemically, inhibits parathyroid hormone induced bone resorption in vitro and in vivo in warm blooded animals.

Abstract: Narrow range ethoxylate nonionic detergents, in combination with coil release promoting polyethylene terephthalate-polyoxyethylene terephthalate (PET-POET) copolymer (in place of broad range ethoxylate nonionic detergent and PET-POET copolymer) are of significantly and unexpectedly improved soil release promoting activity in built synthetic organic detergent compositions, of either the phosphate-built or non-phosphate-built types. Preferably, there will be present with the PET-POET copolymer a stabilizing proportion of polyacrylate, to stabilize the PET-POET copolymer against deterioration and loss of soil release promoting activity on storage at elevated temperature, especially when in contact with alkaline components of the detergent composition. The improved soil release promoting activity is most pronounced when the laundry to be washed and treated is subjected to repeated launderings with the invented compositions in cold water and when it includes polyester-containing fibrous materials.

Abstract: Free flowing, zeolite-containing spray dried beads, useful for the manufacture of a particulate built synthetic nonionic organic detergent composition of reduced zeolite deposition characteristics due to the presence of bentonite and a low content of water soluble silicate or the absence of such silicate, include about 5 to 60% of water softening aluminosilicate (zeolite), about 2 to 40% of bentonite, about 5 to 60% of polyphosphate and up to about 5% of water soluble silicate. Preferably, for least zeolite deposition on the fabrics of laundry washed with the detergent composition, the spray dried beads contain no soluble silicate.

Abstract: Dental cream effective in promoting oral hygiene containing an amine fluoride, insoluble alkali metal metaphosphate polishing material, an aqueous humectant phase including at least one of glycerine and sorbitol and a solid phase containing non-ionic cellulosic gelling agent, wherein polyethylene glycol of average molecular weight of about 200-1000 is present to stabilize the dental cream against phase separation.

Abstract: An oral composition such as a toothpaste (including gel or cream), mouthwash, lozenge, chewing gum or tooth powder containing a calculus-inhibiting amount of a linear molecularly dehydrated polyphosphate salt and, to inhibit enzymatic hydrolysis of said polyphosphate salt in saliva, a combination of a fluoride ion-providing source and a synthetic linear polymeric polycarboxylate.

Abstract: N-lower alkyl neoalkanamides of 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the lower alkyl thereof, and of 12 to 14 carbon atoms in the neoalkanoyl group, e.g., N-methyl- and N-ethyl neotridecanamides, are new compounds which have insect repellent properties, being especially effective against cockroaches, e.g., the German and American cocoroaches. However, they are also useful as repellents for other insects, including mosquitoes, moths, flies, fleas, ants, and lice. Additionally, they may repel arachnids, such as spiders, ticks and mites. The new neoalkanamides may be synthesized easily, as by reacting a primary lower alkyl amine with a neoalkanoyl halide, e.g., by reacting methyl amino or ethyl amine with neotridecanoyl chloride. The most effective of the described amides for insect repellency, N-methyl neotridecanamide, is normally liquid and is sufficiently volatile to be detectable in air by insects.

Abstract: A medication for providing fluoride ion for the prevention and treatment of bone loss disease, together with an estrogen-containing substance for not only treating hormonal imbalance but to obtain more advantageous use of the fluoride ion within the body. The dosage is a lozenge, tablet or capsule containing from 20 to 100 milligrams of sodium monofluorophosphate and further including an estrogen-containing substance and a slow release mechanism for controlling release of the fluoride ion and estrogen over a period of from four to eight hours after swallowing. Up to ten percent of sodium fluoride and/or calcium can be added.

Abstract: A detergent bar of good mildness and foaming properties for hand washing laundry containing pine oil or pine oil derivatives as stain removal and antibacterial agents.

Abstract: A stable, acidic disinfectant all-purpose liquid cleaning composition, free of detergent builders and substantially free of organic solvents, comprising a mixture of acid stable water-soluble and water-dispersible nonionic surfactants, organic acid and a water soluble, acid stable disinfectant compound in an aqueous medium. The composition spreads quickly and provides good detergency with efficient penetration of soils while maintaining a high level of disinfectant activity. A soil releasing agent may also be included in the composition in order to provide easier cleaning of the treated surface during subsequent cleaning operations. The composition is particularly effective for cleaning soap scum and mineral deposits from hard surfaces such as grout, ceramic tile, stainless steel and glass.

Abstract: A litter box envelope comprising a top sheet and a bottom sheet bonded to each other along the side edges and one end edge of each so as to leave an open end for receiving a litter box therein; a facing sheet of tear resistant, claw and scratch-proof material of non-woven nylon fibers, which are spun-bonded and heat treated. The facing sheet is adapted to receive litter material therein.

Abstract: A flexible pouch made from at least one layer of plastic material bonded to form a closed inner chamber for storing liquid. Peripheral portions of the wall material are contoured and then bonded to form a closed pouring spout at a corner of the pouch. The configuration of the spout is defined by the contour of the bonding in the vicinity of that pouch corner. The pouring spout is opened by cutting the pouch corner at an angle. The flexible walls of the pouch are reinforced in the vicinity of the pouring spout to prevent folding. The open spout is intended to be inserted in the open neck of a container to be refilled.

Abstract: N-lower alkyl neoalkanamides (N-lower alkyl trialkylacetamides of certain types) of 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the lower alkyl thereof and of 5 to 14 carbon atoms in the neoalkanoyl (or trialkylacetyl) group, e.g., N-methyl- and N-ethyl neodecanamides and N-methyl and N-ethyl neotridecanamides, are new componds, secondary amides which have insect repellent properties, being especially effective against cockroaches, e.g., the German cockroach. However, they are also useful as repellents for other insects, including American cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies, fleas, ants, and lice. Additionally, they may repel arachnids, such as spiders, ticks and mites. The new neoalkanamides may be synthesized easily, as by reacting a primary lower alkyl amine with a neoalkanoyl halide, e.g. by reacting methyl amine or ethyl amine with neodecanoyl chloride.The most effective of the described amides for insect repellency are normally liquid and are sufficiently volatile to be detectable in air by insects.

Abstract: A litter box liner comprising a polyethylene bag having on one side a sheet of spun bonded non-woven nylon fibers bonded therto. The bag is pulled over a litter box with the nylon sheet extending upwardly and is pulled off the box by inverting the bag to enclose the animal waste and litter that was disposed in the box. The nylon sheet rendered the liner claw resistant.

Abstract: A non-aqueous liquid heavy duty laundry detergent composition comprising a suspension of builder salt in liquid nonionic surfactant in which the stability of the composition is improved by the addition of small amounts of organophilic modified clay. Stability is further enhanced by grinding the solid particulate matter, including builder salt, bleach and other minor ingredients to a particle size below about 15 microns. The preferred organophilic modified clay is a water-swellable smectite clay in which the metal cations are totally or partially exchangd with a mono- or di-long chain quaternary ammonium compound.

Abstract: Stable oral compositions containing the enzyme dextranase, a mixed surfactant system of anionic and amphoteric surfactants, and a cationically modified hydrolyzed collagen stabilizer, which stabilizer the dextranase in the presence of the anionic surfactant without substantially reducing its foaming and cleansing properties.

Abstract: This container is a unique self-dosing and dispensing container. Through the use of a one-piece, self-aligning valve which moves from one position of closing a dispensing opening to a position of opening the dispensing opening and simultaneously closing the opening between the container and the chamber which contains the dispensing opening. The valve is operated by a change in pressure within the container. The change in pressure in the container is induced by flowing an excess of fluide from the container so as to cause a negative pressure. There are various techniques for creating a negative pressure in the container, including the use of a bellows built into the container and a squeezing of the sidewalls of the container.
