Abstract: An oral hygiene device comprising a brush head portion comprising a brush head having a plurality of bristles and a longitudinal extension connecting the brush head to a base portion having an insertable portion, the insertable portion having a smaller diameter than the base portion. A floss dispenser portion having an inner cavity operable to receive a floss coil. The inner cavity extending through an upper end of the floss dispenser portion, operable to receive the insertable portion. An aperture proximal the upper end of the floss dispenser portion, extending through the floss dispenser portion to create a passage through which a length of floss may extend. Additionally, a method of providing oral care, comprising providing the oral hygiene device described above, pulling the length of floss through the aperture, wrapping the length of floss around the cleat, pulling the length of floss through the keyhole slot, and creating tension in the length of floss.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved elevator door hatches. The elevator door hatches drop open into the elevator cab and slide at a desirable angle just underneath the elevator cab ceiling, without extending too far or too low into the interior cab space. The elevator door hatches are able to accommodate light fixtures and cabling installed into the elevator door hatches without disconnecting when the door hatches are slid underneath the elevator cab ceiling in the open position. The door hatch also allows for the drop ceiling to be mounted closer to the canopy, which increases the usable height of the elevator cab.

Abstract: A bedding insecticide composition for safely exterminating bed bugs is provided. The bedding insecticide composition includes vinegar, liquid dish soap, rubbing alcohol, peppermint extract, rosemary oil, geranium oil, and ground arbol chili seeds. In a preferred embodiment, the bedding insecticide composition is placed within a spray bottle, wherein the composition is applied to a surface containing a bed bug infestation. Once applied, the insecticide composition effectively rids the surface of any bed bugs. The bedding insecticide composition includes environmentally friendly ingredients allowing the composition to be safely used within a home. Alternatively, the bedding insecticide composition may be used on vegetation for exterminating parasitic insects.

Abstract: A dental hygiene device includes a toothbrush and a dental floss dispenser. The dental floss is stored in the handle of the dental hygiene device and is wound without a spool to decrease the diameter of the handle and allow the handle to fit within a conventional toothbrush holder. The dental hygiene device can also be used to aid in flossing, eliminating the need to use insert two fingers into a user's mouth in order to floss. After flossing, the floss can be severed by using a floss cutter disposed on the handle of the device.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for continuous digestion of wood chip comprising an upright generally cylindrical vessel having a top end and a bottom end. The top end of the cylindrical vessel is adapted to receive wood chips mixed with a cooking liquor to be treated therein. A first conduit is integrally attached at a first location positioned between the top and bottom ends of the vessel for selectively extracting a first quantity of cooking liquor from the vessel. The first location is positioned upstream of a second location within the vessel where the cooking liquor being at substantially full cooking temperature. A second conduit is integrally attached at a third location positioned downstream from the first and second locations of the vessel.

Abstract: One aspect of this invention relates to a method and digester for reducing the deposition of calcium-based scale in a wood chip digester including extraction from the digester of first and second quantities of cooking liquor having respective first and second calcium concentrations, treating the extracted cooking liquors to produce a cooking liquor having a calcium concentration less that the calcium concentration of the either of the first and second extracted cooking liquors, and, reintroducing the treated cooking liquor to the digester. Another aspect of this invention relates to a method and digester in which through put through the digester is increased by the continuous addition of process liquor into the digester preferably at an upper region of the digester.
