Abstract: The present invention provides the method for placing the patient's wrist in traction to alleviate symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. The preferred apparatus utilizes a harness to connect the patient's hand to a traction device and a stabilizing attachment to restrain the patient's arm in an anatomically neutral position while isolating the patient's soldier and elbow from the traction device.

Abstract: An improved method for deinking waste printed, cellulosic fibrous materials which includes the addition of ionic surfactants either alone or in combination with non-ionic surfactants. The ionic surfactants are anionic, cationic or amphoteric.

Abstract: Improved mechanical dishwasher formulations are provided which are characterized by the use of a random copolyether foam control agent, and wherein the foam control agent imparts the desirable properties of cleaning and defoaming without the concurrent buildup of spots and films on the dishes. The foam control agent is a copolyether having a molecular weight of at least about 2000 and containing random propyleneoxy (and/or butyleneoxy) groups and ethyleneoxy groups. The amount of ethyleneoxy and propyleneoxy or butyleneoxy groups present in the copolyether is selected such that the cloud point of the foam control agent is equal to, or less than, the operating temperature of the mechanical dishwasher.

Abstract: The process for the stabilization of polycondensation catalysts and the stabilization composition used in such process for producing polyesters and copolyesters by the polycondensation of dicarboxylic acid and an aliphatic glycol using certain metal-containing polycondensation catalysts in conjunction with a stabilization composition formed as the reaction product of phosphoric acid, meta-phosphoric acid, superphosphoric acid or mixtures thereof and an aliphatic epoxide having between 2 and about 10 carbon atoms.
