Abstract: A soap powder having a bulk density of at least 600 g/liter contains 35-80 wt % of organic detergent-active material, of which 70-100 wt % is fatty acid soap of low (.ltoreq.20.degree. C.) Krafft temperature, and 20-65 wt % of inorganic and/or builder salts, and may be prepared by granulation and densification in a high-speed mixer/granulator. The high bulk density soap powder shows improved powder properties and better wetting and dispersion behavior in the wash than corresponding undensified powder.

Abstract: A sheet-like article suitable, for example, for wiping hard surfaces, comprises two sheets of nonwoven fabric or the like having sandwiched betweem them a solid core material which may be a highly porous, optionally liquid-containing, polymer. The two outer sheets are bonded to each other, without involving the core material, by means of a plurality of small, spaced bonding points, for example, spot-welds. Preferably the core material is in continuous sheet form and is perforated to accommodate the bonding points.

Abstract: A deodorant product comprises a deodorant composition and a bleaching agent, the deodorant composition having a deodorant value of from 0.50 to 3.5 as measured by the Deodorant Value Test.

Abstract: A deodorant product comprises a deodorant composition and a polishing agent, chosen from waxes, film-forming polymers or mixtures thereof, the deodorant composition having a deodorant value of from 0.50 to 3.5 as measured by the Deodorant Value Test.

Abstract: A temperature comparison apparatus contains current-producing temperature sensors to measure outdoor temperature and heater temperature, a summing circuit to add the output currents from the sensors and a comparator circuit to compare the sum of the sensor currents to a presettable reference value.

Abstract: A deodorant product comprises a deodorant composition and a carrier for the composition chosen from abrasive cleaners, bleaching agents, waxes, film-forming polymers or mixtures thereof, the deodorant composition having a deodorant value of from 0.50 to 3.5 as measured by the Deodorant Value Test.

Abstract: A deodorant disposable porous article for use in contact with human skin or hair comprises a porous substrate impregnated with a deodorant composition having a deodorant value of from 0.50 to 3.5 as measured by the Deodorant Value Test.

Abstract: A deodorant detergent composition comprises a detergent-active compound and a deodorizing amount of a deodorant perfume and a deodorant other than a deodorant perfume, the composition having an odor reduction value within the range of from 0.50 to 3.5 as measured by the Odor Reduction Value Test.

Abstract: A deodorant detergent product comprises a non-soap detergent active compound, and a deodorant composition. The product can be used for personal washing of the skin and will as a result reduce human body malodor. The product can also be employed for washing fabrics which when subsequently worn in contact with the skin aid in the reduction of human body malodor.

Abstract: Detergent bars for personal washing are given a deodorant property by including an ester of citric acid. The ester may be an acetyl derivative. The amount of ester used will be in the range of from about 0.3% to about 3%. Examples of the esters are triethyl citrate and acetyl tributyl citrate.

Abstract: A deodorant detergent product comprises a soap; detergent adjuncts including a detergency builder (other than soap) and/or a bleach; and a deodorant composition. The product can be employed for washing fabrics which when subsequently worn in contact with the skin aid in the reduction of human body malodor.

Abstract: A deodorant toilet bar comprises a soap mixture; optionally, straight chain fatty acids; and a deodorant composition. The bar can be employed for personal washing of the skin and will as a result reduce human body malodor.

Abstract: A deodorant skin treatment product comprises a deodorizing amount of a deodorant composition and a cosmetically acceptable vehicle for the composition other than soap or non-soap detergent. The product can be applied to the skin in order to provide prolonged protection against the development of body malodor.

Abstract: A resonator mounting assembly wherein the resonator blank is mounted agai an essentially planar surface presented by a plurality of peripherally disposed mounting clips and bonded to this surface to provide substantially all the mechanical support for the blank in a direction normal to the major faces of the resonator blank, while being flexible in the directions parallel to said major faces so as to minimize radial stresses on the resonator blank, particularly during thermal cycling of the resonator assembly. The clips are fabricated of a low thermal expansion material, such as molybdenum, which also has considerable yield strength after exposure to processing temperatures; the bonding of the clips to the edges of the resonator blank can be achieved by a polyimide containing electrically conductive particles.

Abstract: A quartz resonator is made from a chemically polished quartz plate. The plate is placed in an enclosure fitted with at least three mounting clips to receive the plate. The plate is secured to the clips with an electrically conductive adhesive capable of withstanding operation at 350 degrees C. The assembly is cleaned and a metallic electrode deposited onto the plate until the desired frequency is reached. The enclosure is then hermetically sealed. The resulting resonator can consistently withstand extremely high shocks.

Abstract: A fabric conditioning composition comprises a fabric softening amount of a fabric softener and a deodorizing amount of a deodorant perfume, the composition having an odor reduction value within the range of from 0.50 to 3.5 as measured by the modified Whitehouse and Carter test.

Abstract: An evacuated envelope including a plurality of spaced, parallel support walls extending and substantially perpendicular to flat, substantially parallel front and back walls to provide a plurality of parallel channels extending along the front and back walls. Between each of the support walls and the back wall are a plurality of longitudinally spaced spacer members, each of which has a ledge projecting into an adjacent channel but spaced from the back wall. Within each of the channels is an assembly which includes a pair of spaced, parallel focusing guide grid plates. One of the grid plates has spring tabs at spaced points along its edges which tabs fit under the ledges of the spacer members to hold the assembly in fixed position with respect to the back wall. The other grid plate has spaced location tabs along its edges which engage the spacer members to align the assembly in the channel with respect to the support walls.

Abstract: A disc record caddy comprises a pair of substantially flat circular covers releasably held in channels defined along the inside rim of an expandable circular ring. Spring elements bias the ring into a contracted shape to radially restrain a disc retained between the pair of covers. A platform, mounted on a base of a disc record player system, horizontally supports the caddy in an elevated position over a turntable of the system and includes means for expanding the ring to release the covers. A turntable spindle incorporates a lowering/lifting mechanism which lowers the cover nearest the turntable and the disc supported thereon onto the turntable for record playback purposes, the other cover being retained at the platform level by the radially inward extension of the land defined between the ring channels.

Abstract: 9-Oxo-15-Substituted prostanoic acids, and intermediates for their preparation and for the preparation of other known prostaglandins are disclosed. The final products have bronchodilatory activity.
