Abstract: A composition and method is disclosed for fluoridating teeth using a two component dentifrice system in which the first component is stable, semi-solid, extrudable dentifrice composition containing a fluoride ion releasable hydrolyzable complex fluoride compound such as sodium fluorosilicate, in an aqueous vehicle in which a carrageenan gum having major kappa and lambda forms as the primary thickening agent and the abrasive is a silica providing an acid pH when slurried with water, and the second component is a semi-solid, extrudable dentifrice composition containing a calcium ion releasable compound and the abrasive and carrageenan gum in an aqueous vehicle. The first and second dentifrice compounds are maintained separate from the other until mixed for application to teeth.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for fluoridating teeth using a two component dentifrice system in which the first component is stable, semi-solid, extrudable dentifrice composition containing a fluoride ion releasable hydrolyzable complex fluoride compound such as sodium fluorosilicate, in an aqueous vehicle in which xanthan gum is the major thickening agent and glycerin, sorbitol or mixtures thereof is the humectant, and the second component is a semi-solid, extrudable dentifrice composition containing a calcium ion releasable compound and an abrasive in an aqueous vehicle containing xanthan gum as the major thickener and glycerin, sorbitol or mixtures thereof as the humectant. The first and second dentifrice compounds are maintained separate from the other until mixed for application to teeth.

Abstract: A skin cleanser and conditioner composition and particularly a facial rinse that removes soap and surfactant residue from the skin and thereby prevents irritation caused by the deposition of soaps and surfactants thereon, consisting of low levels of a nonionic surfactant, low levels of an organic acid such as citric acid/sodium citrate, and a major amount of water, which composition may be in the form of a liquid or gel.

Abstract: A reusable flyback satellite system comprises a refly apparatus and accelerating and positioning apparatus. The refly apparatus provides acceleration and injection into orbit, on-orbit functions services for supporting a payload, de-orbiting, re-entering and landing on a runway. The accelerating and positioning apparatus is attached to a carrier aircraft, the accelerating and positioning apparatus releaseably supporting the refly apparatus. The carrier aircraft positions the accelerating and positioning apparatus at a desired first position wherein the accelerating and positioning apparatus is detached from the carrier aircraft. Thereafter, the accelerating and positioning apparatus positions the refly apparatus to a second position wherein the refly apparatus is detachable from the accelerating and positioning apparatus. The second position is such that the refly apparatus can achieve a desired orbit.

Abstract: A fabric rinse composition that removes residual soap and surfactant particularly anionic, left in the clothes during washing, which is disliked by consumers, consisting of low levels of a nonionic surfactant, low levels of an organic acid such as citric and/sodium citrate, and a major amount of water, in the form of a liquid or gel.

Abstract: A shock and vibration mount includes a resilient elastomeric member arranged to act with two spaced spring units, each of which includes a group of stacked, disc-shaped annular springs. Low level impacts and vibrations are transmitted from a rod, that is movable with the impacted member or with a member reacting to an impact, to the elastomeric member through either of the stacked units, high intensity shocks being attenuated first by the elastomeric member and then by one of the stacked units.

Abstract: An object restraint system is provided with a collar for gripping the object and a plurality of struts attached to the collar and to anchor means by universal-type joints, the struts being arranged in tangential relation about the collar.
