Abstract: There is disclosed a method for treating dermatologic diseases caused by microbial overgrowth or inflammation, such as psoriasis, fungal infections, eczema, dandruff, acne, genital herpes lesions, and leg ulcers. There is further disclosed an antiviral lubricating composition that is effective in preventing the transmission of the HIV virus and other sexually transmitted diseases. There is also disclosed systemic anti-inflammatory compositions and formulations and a method for reducing tissue inflammation in tissues such as the bowel, muscle, bone, tendon and joints (e.g., arthritis).

Abstract: A well pump system having a motor-driven pump and a pressure tank for delivering water from a source to a utilization point. A sensing device detects a parameter correlated to the rate of flow into and out of the pressure tank. The parameter is utilized to regulate flow into the tank so as to establish at least approximate equality between flow into and out of the tank.

Abstract: A roadside mail box formed of an L-shaped tubular member erected with the "L" inverted and having a mail compartment in its horizontal leg. In a preferred embodiment, a closure sleeve, closed at one end, is coaxially, rotatably disposed on the horizontal leg. Respective elongated openings on the side of the horizontal leg and in the sidewall of the sleeve, register at one rotational position of the sleeve to permit access to the mail compartment and, in other rotational positions of the sleeve, are out of registration to close the compartment. Detents establish open and closed positions of the sleeve which is pendulously urged to the closed position. In alternative forms of construction the closure sleeve is absent and a sliding or hinged door closes the opening to the mail compartment.

Abstract: An intravenous delivery system for automatically controlling rate of flow of fluid to a recipient. Desired rate of flow is compared with actual rate of flow to produce error signals which are utilized to cause actual rate of flow to equal the desired rate of flow. The present invention may be used with a conventional gravity drip type IV feed or with an ambulatory system which is independent of gravity. A new quantizer for providing fluid flow independent of gravity is also disclosed.

Abstract: A foldable step stool comprises a pair of rectangular frame members, one disposed within the other and having pivotally connected side rails thus permitting the members to assume an open position, in which the side rails intersect in an "X"-configuration, and a closed position in which the inner frame is contained entirely within the outer frame. Two steps extend between the side rails of the frame members, the ends of one step being pivotally secured to the side rails of the inner frame member and having a pin-and-slot connections to the side rails of the outer frame member. The second step is similarly arranged with the pivotal and pin-and-slot connections reversed with respect to the inner and outer frame members. When in the closed position, the steps lie completely within the three dimensions of the outer frame member.
