Abstract: A universal filter apparatus is described which provides, in a single unit, an anti-glare and/or anti-static screen and frame which is adaptable to monitors of varying sizes. The universal filter apparatus includes a filter screen mounted to a housing. The housing includes a front side, a top side, and at least two lateral sides, each of the at least two lateral sides extending perpendicularly from the front side. A elastically deformable nonresistant securing device is attached to each of the two lateral sides to allow the apparatus to be easily installed on monitors of varying sizes.

Abstract: A percutaneous anaesthetic delivery system comprises a skin conformable backing layer, an amethocaine-bearing material and a layer having little or no tendency to absorb amethocaine intermediate the backing layer and the layer of amethocaine bearing material which may be in the form of a film, mat or net.

Abstract: A compound of formula (I): ##STR1## or where appropriate a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each independently represent a moiety of formula (a):--(CH.sub.2).sub.m --A (a)wherein m represents zero or an integer 1, 2 or 3, A represents a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic hydrocarbon radical; andR.sup.3 represents hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl or a moiety of formula (a) as defined above; a pharmaceutical composition comprising such a compound a process for preparing such a compound and the use of said compound and said composition in medicine.

Abstract: The novel compound of the formula ##STR1## has been found to be useful as a UV absorber. A novel PMMA material has incorporated therein a UV absorbing amount of the novel UV absorber. Intraocular lenses and contact lenses are produced from PMMA having incorporated therein a UV absorbing amount of the novel UV absorber.Eyeglasses are produced having lenses of a polycarbonate material which has incorporated therein a UV absorbing amount of the novel UV absorbed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the manufacture and use of absorptive wound dressings for treatment of burns and other wounds wherein the dressing has a reduced tendency to adhere to the wound and can act as a bacterial barrier. The wound dressing is comprised of a wound facing layer, an intermediate absorbent layer and an outer layer. The wound dressing of the present invention also has a topically effective medicament for treatment of burns and other wounds.

Abstract: Quinolinecarboxylic acid derivatives of the formula (I) ##STR1## and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen, straight or branch chain lower alkyl or phenyl unsubstituted or substituted by one or more halo moieties; R.sup.2 is hydrogen or straight or branch chain lower alkyl; and R.sup.3 is hydrogen, halo or straight or branch chain lower alkoxy, are useful for treating bacterial infections in humans and animals.

Abstract: A device for splitting tablets has a base and a cover. A tablet to be split is held in a recess in the base, and a knife edge is provided in a corresponding recess in the cover, the recesses being larger in one dimension than the largest dimension of the tablet. Closing the cover severs the tablet while eliminating or minimizing crumbling.
