Abstract: A deodorant composition comprising at least one polymer selected from dendrimers containing terminal groups bearing a primary amine function, the use of these deodorant compositions for human topical application, and the use of selected dendrimers as deodorant active agents.

Abstract: An aromatic compound containing farinaceous flour, salt, water and at least one essential oil with aroma-giving properties are provided. A carrier oil is preferably provided to lubricate the mixture and blend, dilute and diffuse the essential oil through the compound. The product is made by forming a mixture of ingredients following by heating, cooling, and agglomeration. In use, the aromatic compound can be manually manipulated so that an aroma pleasing to the user emanates from the compound.

Abstract: A method of producing ammonia water (aqua ammonia) by means of desorbing an ammonia laden sorbent, preferably a zeolite molecular sieve or silica gel into water. The method includes placing an activated sorbent material into a sealed vessel, such as a pressure pot, and exposing it to ammonia gas for a period of time. After loading by exposure to ammonia gas, the loaded sorbent is then placed into an air and water tight container for storage. The pouch can be stored for extended lengths of time prior to use of the contents. When ready for use, the contents of the pouch are dropped into a container of water. In one preferred use of the loaded sorbents, the container of water is a toilet bowl. In another preferred embodiment, the container is a separate disposal pouch, such as a small plastic bag capable of holding an ostomy pouch, sanitary napkin or incontinence pad. After use, the ostomy pouch or other device can be made to dissolve by placing the used pouch in ammonia water at a pH of 10.3 or higher.

Abstract: A safety net attached to the doors at a pumping station to cover the open well when the doors are open. The safety net has a plurality of strips in a first direction and a substantially perpendicular plurality of strips in a second direction. The strips are connected where there are intersections. The edges of the strips have attachment means for connection to the doors, or alternately for connection to the frame about the top of the well. When the doors are opened, the safety net is in place and when the doors are closed, the safety net is suspended in the open well. The safety net may also be connected to a single door for those wells which have only a single door as a cover.

Abstract: Flexible optically uniform sign face substrate comprising at least one layer of durable thermoplastic sheeting and an optically uniform dimensionally stable scrim film, and more particularly a sign face substrate comprising at least one layer of optically uniform dimensionally stable multilayer scrim film laminated between at least two layers of durable thermoplastic sheeting for use in areas such as awning, canopy, fascia or sign material construction.

Abstract: A heat-resisting porous membrane comprises a porous polyolefin membrane having a crosslinked copolymer held on at least a part of the pore surfaces thereof, the crosslinked copolymer being composed of a monomer (A) comprising at least one multifunctional (meth)acrylate and a monomer (B) comprising at least one monofunctional (meth)acrylate having a hydrocarbon radical of 5 to 20 carbon atoms; and the heat-resisting porous membrane can be hydrophilized by additionally having a crosslinked polymer thereon. These heat-resisting porous membranes can be used in hot water for a long period of time without deteriorating the mechanical properties inherently possessed by the matrix of the porous membrane.

Abstract: A multilobal synthetic polymeric filament has a single approximately axially extending central void. The total cross-sectional void area of the filament is between about 3 and about 10 percent void.

Abstract: Diecut or otherwise cut or formed pieces of a laminate for providing temporary surface protection to the incompletely dry surface coating on a flat or planar article such as metal nameplates, control panel bezels, dials, name tags and the like. Such flat or planar metal articles are widely used on appliances and machines where permanence and good readability are important. The individual laminated pieces are cut, with or without scoring, from sheets formed by laminating a ply of spunbonded polypropylene to a ply of chipboard or other inexpensive solvent absorbing backing material, In use the spundbonded polypropylene surface of a piece of the laminate is placed against the incompletely dry surface coating to be protected of a nameplate or like article and the combination is packaged together with other similar combinations for shipment.
