Abstract: The present invention is directed to the administration of copper to an animal using a composition containing copper dextran. A method is described for increasing the copper levels in an animal by the administration of a composition containing copper dextran. A preferred method of administration is intra muscularly. The use of this composition has been found to both address copper deficiencies in an animal, particularly deer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided to control a game involving a group of players. The game involves associating each player with a game card comprising a set of values. Each player is then provided with a sequence of position options. A position option comprises at least first and second identifiers for values from the game card. A player on receiving the first identifier chooses whether or not to accept the corresponding value from the player's game card. The player is allocated the value corresponding to the first identifier if this value has been accepted by the player; otherwise the player is allocated the value corresponding to the second identifier.

Abstract: A pigment's etheramine sulfonic acid salt is described. Also described is a method for enhancing the performance of a pigment composition containing an organic pigment, comprising enhancing the dispersion of said pigment by adding to 100 parts of said pigment about 1 to 40 parts of a pigment's etheramine sulfonic acid salt.

Abstract: A pour-on anthelmintic composition, including its method of preparation and use, the composition preferably having being prepared by mixing at a common temperature (I) a premix of an anthelmintic compound or compounds (for example a benzimidazole) with a transdermal vehicle (such as isopropyl myristate) with (ii) a premix of a non-ionic emulsifier with an oil capable of solubilising the emulsifier and, subsequent to the blending of the premixes (preferably after cooling), mixing the blend with a deflocculation agent/diluent or deflocculation agent/diluent mix.

Abstract: Crude phthalocyanine is converted from its crude state to its pigmentary form by (1) milling it with a phthalimidomethyl phthalocyanine derivative or a sulfonated phthalimidomethyl phthalocyanine derivative in the absence of any milling or grinding aid or by (2) grinding the crude phthalocyanine in the absence of any milling or grinding aid and then blending the ground material with a phthalimidomethyl phthalocyanine derivative or a sulfonated phthalimidomethyl phthalocyanine derivative. Without any additional conditioning or purification the pigment product is suitable for use in printing inks, paints, coating compositions, and the like.

Abstract: A process of producing a phthalocyanine pigment comprising dry grinding a crude phthalocyanine, stirring the ground product with an aqueous medium containing a surfactant and isolating the pigmentary product which, when dispersed into surface coating media, provide colorations having high brillance and depth of shade.
