Abstract: The present invention relates to a nasal topical application product for restricting the flow of airborne contaminants into a human nasal passage by creation of a proximate, enhanced electrostatic field. This nasal application product includes: (a) a plurality of masses of one or more electrostatic polymers; and, (b) a topical carrier having the plurality of masses dispersed through a portion thereof. At least one of the electrostatic polymers is a poly (dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride) polymer and is included in the product in an amount of at least 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the polymers and the topical carrier. The nasal application product may be topical solutions, semisolids, spray solutions and vaporizable solutions. Topical applications may be in the form of ointments, pastes, creams and gels. The carrier of the nasal application product of the present invention may be selected from the group consisting of dilutents, volatile spray carriers, lotions, solvents, gels and hydrogels.

Abstract: Disclosed is a diagnostic method for determining the presence or absence of airborne contaminants. This involves applying a nasal topical application product for restricting the flow of airborne contaminants near human nasal passages to create a proximate and enhanced electrostatic field. This attracts and holds the airborne contaminant for subsequent presentation to known diagnostics testing. The nasal application product includes: (a) a plurality of masses of one or more electrostatic polymers; (b) a topical carrier having the plurality of masses dispersed through a portion thereof. The nasal application product may be topical solutions, semisolids, spray solutions and vaporizable solutions. Topical applications may be in the form of ointments, pastes, creams and gels. The carrier of the nasal application product of the present invention may be selected from the group consisting of diluents, volatile spray carriers, lotions, solvents, gels and hydro-gels. In some embodiments, substrates, e.g.

Abstract: This is a product and method for restricting the flow of airborne contaminants into a nasal passage. It involves creating an electrostatic field in an area near a nasal passage. The electrostatic field may either repel or attract airborne contaminants or both. The product may take the form of a plurality of masses of one or more electrostatic materials, the masses have an average cross sectional area of about one square millimeter to about 50,000 square millimeters, the mass being of sufficient charge to create an electrostatic field which will prevent at least some airborne contaminants from passing into a nasal passage. There is also a carrier material with the plurality of masses dispersed therein. The product may be a topical solution, a semi solid, a solid, a spray solution or a vaporizable solution. Alternatively, it may be in a form which includes a substrate for the carrier and, in one preferred embodiment, the substrate would be an adhesive material such as a bandage.

Abstract: A circuit/device that can be designed into new telephone subsets as well as connected to existing telephones to prevent unwanted telephone extensions from interfering with the controlling extension. The device is operated by a single push-button located on certain or all extensions. When operated from a certain extension, it disconnects all other extensions that are fitted with the same device until such time that either the push-button at the controlling extension is operated again or the telephone is placed "on-hook." The present device has a very simple circuit located at each extension telephone and communicates over an unused yellow wire found in standard 4-wire telephone circuits.
