Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for the removal and containment of human waste products from the effected area of incontinent patients. The apparatus and process encapsulates the areas of the body where urine and fecal matter are excreted. In particular, the present invention is directed to an apparatus for the containment and removal of human waste products, comprising: a receptacle; a vacuum connection to apply force for attaching the receptacle to the patient; and a vacuum dispersion membrane to provide mechanical support to the skin so as to minimize tensile force applied to the skin.

Abstract: A process for treating contaminated fluid is disclosed. An apparatus for treatment of contaminated fluid comprises: an integral tank; an inlet for introducing a mixture of flocculent polymer and contaminated fluid; a mixer in the bottom of an innermost cylinder that has first stage aerating means; a rotary skimmer above the fluid level of the innermost cylinder and a second stage aeration cylinder that has second stage aerating means surrounding the innermost cylinder; a de-aeration baffle on the same plane as the rotary skimmer and extending around an outermost cylinder; fluid level control means between the second stage aeration cylinder and the outermost cylinder, directing fluid flow from the second stage aeration cylinder out of the tank; means for powering the mixer and the rotary skimmer; and an outlet permitting clear fluid to exit the tank and an outlet permitting waste effluent to exit the tank.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and process for separating contaminants from a contaminated fluid, such as wastewater.

Abstract: A once-daily naproxen formulation for oral administration having a first portion of the naproxen as a multi-particulate pellet form, each pellet having a core of naproxen or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in association with an organic acid, the core being surrounded by a multi-layer membrane and optionally a second portion of naproxen formulated to release the drug promptly following oral administration.
