Abstract: A colored contact lens comprising a pupil section and an iris section. A colored, opaque, intermittent pattern is deposited over the entire iris section, but a substantial portion within the interstices of the pattern is left uncolored. The lens is capable of coloring the iris of the wearer, yet permitting visualization of the structure of the iris. A fundamental color change, e.g. from brown to blue, is possible, yet the colored iris has a natural appearance.
Abstract: A molding process for manufacturing laminated stoppers having an elastomer core and thin thermoplastic liner where a sheet of thermoplastic liner material having an elongation of at least 450% and the vulcanizable elastomer core material are placed in a mold and molded at a temperature above the vulcanization temperature of the elastomer core but below the crystalline molding point of the thermoplastic liner.
Abstract: Hydrophilic bifocal corneal contact lenses of the alternating-vision type having a critical set of dimensions for the various elements which results in a surprising increase in the success rate of persons wearing these improved lenses.
Abstract: An eyeshadow composition comprising candelilla wax, C.sub.18-36 acid triglyceride, third wax having melting point between 55.degree. and 100.degree. C., volatile nonaqueous solvent, cosmetically acceptable oil, and pigment.
Abstract: A device for determining a patient's threshold of pain having a gas-tight member, such as a cylinder, for confining a fixed amount of gas and a two-ended member, such as a rod. A first end of the rod is pressed against the patient's body to apply gradually increasing pressure, and a second end decreases the volume of the fixed amount of gas. Indicia are provided for indicating how much the volume of gas decreases. The device may also be modified to test materials for softness or firmness.
Abstract: Stable pharmaceutical compositions comprising gentamicin and gleptoferron prevention of iron deficiency anemia and bacterial infections in young mammals, especially piglets.
Abstract: A method of vaccinating a food producing animal without producing injection site abscess comprising injecting said animal with a vaccine that comprises a bacterin, an effective amount of a compatible adjuvant, an effective amount of a non-antibiotic biocidal compound, and about 30 micrograms per milliliter of gentamicin sulfate.
Abstract: Hydrophilic contact lenses produced by polymerizing(a) hydroxyalkyl monoesters of acrylic or methacrylic acid,(b) monomers having the formula ##STR1## where R, is hydrogen or methyl, R.sub.2 is alkylene, R.sub.3 is alkoxy and n is 1 or 2, and(c) acrylic acid or methacrylic acid.Methods of producing the lenses are disclosed.
Abstract: Cross-linked hydrophilic interpolymers and contact lenses made therefrom comprising hydrophilic units of which the only or major proportion are derived from .Iadd.vinyl pyridine or .Iaddend.an N-vinyl heterocyclic monomer, hydrophobic units derived from the group consisting of styrene and ring-substituted styrenes, and cross-linking units derived from monmers containing two or more polymerizable double bonds per monomer unit.
