Abstract: An improved pest control device having a bottom, two side walls, two end walls with holes therethrough to permit an animal to enter, and a lid, with a bait holder inside the trap, which may optionally be raised off of the floor of the trap and magnets positioned near the top edge of at least two of the walls to secure the trap to a dumpster, thereby holding the lid in the closed position when the trap is secured to the dumpster to prevent access to the bait other than through the holes in the end walls.

Abstract: A method of controlling rats and the like by magnetically attaching a pest control device to a dumpster.

Abstract: Water-stable phenol-amine complexes of limited water solubility for use in a thermal-sensitive paper coating containing a chromogenic compound.The complexes contain phenolic hydroxy groups and amine groups in an essentially 2:1 ratio, the amines being low boiling amines. The phenols are of the class capable of forming amine complexes having a ratio of two hydroxyl groups for each amine group. The resulting coating compositions effectively resist premature color formation during formulation, and the coated papers produced exhibit enhanced stability.

Abstract: Improved print speed and image intensity are obtained in a pressure-sensitive record sheet material by incorporating a cross-linked urea-formaldehyde agglomerated resin pigment in the coated surface of the acid-reacting sheet. A typical formulation of the coating comprises kaolin clay, a zinc-modified phenol-formaldehyde resin, said urea-formaldehyde resin pigment and a suitable binder. When contacted under pressure with a surface containing microscopic rupturable capsules of a colorless chromogeneous material, a colored mark is formed by transfer of the colorless chromogeneous material to the acidic pigment coating.

Abstract: Compositions which are useful for binding solid, discrete particles are comprised of a liquid one-step phenol formaldehyde resin, a urea resin component such as urea formaldehyde, an accelerator selected from an acid and a salt of an acid, and an aqueous emulsion of polyethylene. The wet mixtures of the foregoing components exhibit improved flow characteristics in intricate molds. The wet mixtures are useful for molding foundry core compositions and consolidated wood compositions that have improved moisture resistance.
